Two new drives are working flawlessly with the Sabrent USB C dual bay docking station. Setup instructions included with the drive explains the simple procedure to assign a drive letter and get it recognized by the computer. I’ve only had them for a few days but feeling good especially with the 5 year warranty.

Se ve bien hasta el momento lleva 180 horas de uso y se observa en condicion bien en CrystalDiskInfo y no se detecta ningún sector dañado, lo malo es que al estar en formato NTFS la capacidad maxima es de 14.5TB usables, tmb el emboltorio solo es una bolsa antiestatica y la caja.
This has been a 100% working drive so far. It has been writing its new contents for 3 days straight now. Temperature remaining at 32 degrees C. This is Great considering I am running it at full demand for a long time. For comparison my external WDC WD100EMAZ-00WJTA0 10000.8 GB (WD My Book 10GB) has run at 48 to 53 degrees C, alarmingly hot. After this WD external is getting shucked, the enclosure dremeled open for air, or a fan physical screwed on from an old computer. Datacenter drives can be noisy and this is generally known, this drive has been whisper quiet. There are not any clicking or ticking or whizzing sounds.
Mine came with SN03 firmware and SN04 was available. Updating the firmware was a pain in the ass. Nothing can be done while in windows because it blocks everything like it is a virus, thanks Microsoft. I had to boot into seagate tools and then type the one commandline. This was easy, except that it took 4 hours of searching and reading everything available online to figure out that one line!!!!!! Horrible documentaion on this, not even youtube could help. While in Seagate tools I changed my drive to 4K (4096) or 4KN logical sectors. If you do this, do it before putting data on it. The majority will not know or care about this and is not a reason to disregard buying this drive.
I am traditionally a Western Digital fan. 20 some years ago I used Seagate in everything with fantastic results (I still have a couple still around shelfed as backup storage). This drive was on sale for 300 when it is normally 400. I needed a drive quickly and at a good price. NOTHING compared to it in terms of price to value ratio. This might be in part due to COVID. I have been surprised at the quality so far and may be returning to using more Seagate hard drives again.
My drive is not a SED (self encrypting model) but I am running Veracrypt on it fine.

(EXOS X16 16TB + X18 18TB) It seems like the Seller will vary from time to time on these drives. I bought mine from HYPER-MEGA (+ SHIPPED FROM from HYPER-MEGA). Multiple orders, multiple drives, and they were all packed as you would hope expensive HDDs would be packed, individually bubble-wrapped, and in their own box. They all shipped via FedEx, and get this, the FedEx drivers actually bent down to gently place the boxes on the ground! (I don’t see FedEx for many deliveries, so I’m used to regularly witness other carriers ‘drop from 3 feet in the air on to the cement’. Deliveries captured on doorbell camera – you would cringe to see some expensive electronics delivered…)
These Exos drives are great so far; huge, fast, quiet enough, don’t run hot. All tested perfect with HD Sentinel multiple times and ways, and with SeaTools. Note that they ship standard in 512e emulation mode, not Native 4K. If you’re using these HDD in a NAS, you probably want to use the free Seagate tools to set them to Native 4K (“setSectorSize to 4096”), and update the firmware, before installing them in your NAS.
All came with legitimate verifiable 5 year warranties from Seagate. I recommend, and will definitely buy again.

Update: I forgot to add that I purchased this as Amazon as the Seller, not a 3rd party, and when I checked the warranty on the Seagate site it was for 5 years.
I have two Hitachi 2TB hard drives that have been working without problem for about 7 years (7200RPM). One drive has Win 7, Vista and XP on it, and the other drive is for Data (my main Win 10 boot drive is on SSD). But since I sometimes have to use Win 7, and these drives are a bit old, I was looking to replace them with new faster hard drives.
I decided to try the Seagate Barracuda 2TB first since it was a low price. I was impressed that it is a single platter with two heads inside and is quiet. Also, when I first did some benchmarking with Crystal it showed over 200MB/s Read and Write. But if I ran it again, the numbers were not consistent and would be as low as 35MB/s. Using HD Tune showed that this drive has major drops in speed across the platter. I cloned my Win 7 over to it, ana it took about 4 minutes to fully boot, no faster than the old Hitachi. The 2 year warranty is also a concern. So I can’t really recommend this drive as a OS drive, but would be OK as a backup drive or just a data drive if you don’t need fast performance.
I have also since then tried this WD Gold 2TB (good performance, but loud disk spinning sound and loud read/write clicks), the Seagate Exos 7E2 and newer Exos 7E8). The WD Gold was the Loudest drive out of the bunch, as I could hear the disk spinning (motor) and loud clicks when read/write. The Exos 7E2 wasn’t as loud as the WD Gold. The best drive was this Exos 7E8 at $150. It was actually the quietest drive out of all, and also the fastest with speeds up to 240-250MBs, also has 5 year warranty that I verified on the Seagate site. When I cloned my Win 7 over to it, the boot time was 1min 45 sec, and remember the Barracuda was 4 minutes. So that right there shows the Exos 7E8 is faster for an OS drive.
So out of the 2TB Drives that I tired, Seagate Barracuda, WD Gold, Seagate Exos 7E2 and Exos 7E8, the beat for an OS drive was the Exos 7E8 due to the fastest speed and it also being quieter than the rest.

I am retired and not ‘mission critical’ and can use Refurbished. At and above 12 TB usually is helium sealed, with less friction and heat compared to open to air. With my Synology NASes, 16 TB is listed as a go by Synology, and while lots of Internet bloggers have used higher capacities, in general know the ceilings published by the manufacturer. I now will replace with 14 TB Exos or 16 TB IronWolf. There is an ’80 TB or 108 TB volume ceiling’, and come on, Man, that’s got to be enough! Use all the same HDD, and I use RAID 5, with full backups on other NASes, ext4, no encryption, one Volume of one Storage Pool. KISS!
