Seagate Barracuda ST6000DM003 6 To

Works fine but didnt come with a cable. Other than that its fine and instructions could be better.

No problems with the drive after 3 weeks. Excellent value.

Installed and worked fine in the 2 months I've had it

After reading about how to format an 8 tb hard drive, I found this one to work for me quite well and to the quality I have always found in Seagate hard drives. I would recommend it highly as it was easy to format (after learning about it), and easy to work with.

Lots of storage capacity for a low price. This shingled-magnetic recording (SMR) hard drive works best when it is dedicated to storing your large data files, while your operating system (OS) is on a separate conventional drive. Random write workloads incur a slowdown on SMR drives due to the need for whole rewrites of shingled zones, so you will get the best use out of this drive if your workflow is optimized for doing heavy data edits on a conventional drive, and then moving larger chunks of data to and from the SMR drive. Note, however, that some filesystems are not cooperative with the SMR drive write delays, so if you are not comfortable with low-level OS tuning, you may be better off sticking to a Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) hard drive.
