Fantastic, fast, and silent.
It is working perfectly in a SATA 2 business / office PC from 2010. A clean install of Windows 10 1803 took 49 minutes (with delays from wireless network trouble and no way to get my user account rolling without creating a PIN). At the device installation screen it said the drive had 1,863 gigabytes of space. It works silently. Windows 10 scanned for errors and found none. 143 gigabytes of archived files from another SATA drive were copied over at 30 to 85 megabytes per second. The SMART data says it's a 7200 RPM drive with two power cycles and two hours of use, so it is not a used drive returned by another customer. It was packed OEM style in a small cardboard box with two plastic spacers to keep it suspended in the center.I will use this drive for backing up all my data and having easy access to old files. It will be great to hold on to large HD video files from an action camera without having to choose which ones to delete to make room. I'm sure a 32 gigabyte USB 3.0 flash drive dedicated to ReadyBoost will help the system have faster access time for frequently used files. Windows 10 1803 boot time was 85 seconds. After changing msconfig to use 4 processors, it went down to 62 seconds. Drive activity settled back to 0% at 114 seconds.The review and rating will be updated if there are any problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid build quality, Quiet and fast, they did their research
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2017
Verified Purchase
Lets be real, if you have a low capacity SSD around 120gb or less odds are you have run into the problem of running out of space, now one could but another SSD or even a bigger one, but SSDs at the moment are pretty expensive, so what's a great alternative? A HDD of course!

Now over the years Seagate has been stepping up their hard drive game, less failures and more durability is absolutely great, since other hard drive manufactures have been on the decline of failure rates and durability, I had to go with Seagate on this one.

My last Seagate drive was a 1tb 5500 rpm drive, it was really noisy but I got that one about 10 years or so ago, so how much has Seagate improve in 10 years? A lot, seriously they did their research, this drive is really quiet, for 2tb I expected a noisy drive but its very quiet, and performs very well too, compared to one of my other computers that has a 1tb WD Blue drive, I have to say I prefer the 2tb Barracuda by a long shot, it makes very little noise and I don't think there is virtually any spin up time at all, it just works.

I would definitely recommend anyone who has been using any other drive oem to just give Seagate another try, this drive proves they did their research and designed a solid HDD, I'm sure it will last a long time too.

5.0 out of 5 stars but it's working like a champ
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2017
Verified Purchase
I just got my hard drive a few days ago, but it's working like a champ. One thing to note, you will most likely have to initialize and format it for it to be read by your OS if you're using Windows. This is done through the partition manager, which in Win 10, when you launch it, it will automatically pop up with a window stating this hard drive needs to be initialized. You also have the option of formatting the hard drive through the classic format, or the newer format which supports over 2tb in Windows 10. I do not believe the support for higher than 2tb for an internal hdd is supported in earlier versions of Windows, but this is my first 2tb internal drive, so I am not 100% sure.

Speeds are definitely faster than my WD Blue drive, but not quite as fast as my primary SSD with the OS on it. I normally have 1 game installed on the SSD, but with this installed, I no longer want to do that. I may be a bit old fashioned, but I prefer having a large buffer on the primary drive for pagefiles :)

Anyway, Seagate makes quality products, and you will not be disappointed with this. I do think a lot of the reviews talking about DOA drives are from less tech savvy people who did not initialize and format, as I described above. I don't know for certain, though.

Another note: The drive comes in a smaller package with bumpers, wrapped in an anti-static bag. It looks like an OEM drive, but it DOES come with a warranty, for those curious. IIRC it's a 2 year warranty :) Hope this helps!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good value at ~$30/TB
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2017
Verified Purchase
This drive is suitable for many uses. Anything from movies and music to most games will load quickly off of it, which makes it a good choice for a secondary drive. For a main drive, an SSD is a much better choice, as a computer will boot faster if the OS lives on an SSD. SSDs are also much quieter and consume less energy than HDDs. HDDs are still significantly cheaper per GB/TB than SSDs, which makes them suitable for bulk storage.

To install it, you will need a free 3.5" HDD bay, and connectors for SATA power and SATA data. You could use an adapter to power it with molex, but this is not a good idea. The phrase "molex to SATA, lose all your data" has become a common saying for good reason, as most adapters are poorly made, sometimes melting or even catching fire when they fail, destroying the drive or other components along with it. You will probably not fit this into a laptop, as those usually only have 2.5" drive bays, or the new M.2 sized drives. Refer to your computer's documentation if you arte unsure which size it accepts.

Please note that this drive is not plug and play. You will probably need to format it and assign it a drive letter within your OS before you see it in your file explorer (this is fairly easy in Windows 10, a simple search will tell you how.)

You may have heard that Seagate drives have a high failure rate compared to other brands, which was true for an earlier iteration of the 1.5TB and 3TB BarraCudas. These are a newer model, and do not suffer from the same problem as the older version. That being said, you should always have backups of important files, or anything you can't replace. Network Attached Storage devices, external drives, and cloud services are all good options for backup.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seagate ST2000DM006 HDD Barracuda 2000 GB
Reviewed in Germany on January 19, 2018
Verified Purchase
Die Seagate (mit 2 TB, anhand der Rezensionen auch bei anderen HDDs entstand bei mir der Eindruck, dass es speziell bei 3 TB HDDs Probleme geben kann) kam sehr gut mehrfach in Luftpolsterfolie und in ausreichend großem Karton verpackt innerhalb kürzester Zeit bei mir an. Im Vergleich schien sie mir Preis-/Leistungssieger zu sein.

Vorab: unbedingt bei Arbeiten im PC vorher erden (geht auch indem man auf den Heizkörper greift, dadurch bauen sich eventuelle magnetische Aufladungen gut ab; es gibt u.a. aber auch Erdungszubehör für umfangreichere Arbeiten in Form von Bändern), den PC natürlich komplett vom Strom trennen, nicht auf einem Teppich oder ähnlichen Untergründen arbeiten die sich statisch aufladen und einen Kurzschluss verursachen könnten und im Inneren des PCs auch nach Möglichkeit nur dort hingreifen, wo man unbedingt hingreifen muss.

Der Einbau (meine erste zusätzliche HDD für einen 7 Jahre alten PC, der bereits mit einer SSD versehen wurde und der mit 500 GB HDD Platzprobleme bekam) war überraschend einfach, ich hatte vorsichtshalber noch das Delock Kabel SATA 6Gb/s 70 cm dazu bestellt um etwaige Probleme beim Anschluss zu vermeiden, dieses ist mehr als ausreichend lang und sehr leicht anzustecken.

Praktischerweise fand die Seagate Festplatte gleich zwischen der alten HDD und der SSD (Samsung Evo 250GB, damit habe ich sehr gute Erfahrungen auch mit der 500GB Version auf einem anderen PC gemacht) Platz, ein freier Anschluss war auch noch im Gehäuse versteckt, die Seagate konnte mittels kleiner Schrauben (hatte ich noch von der SSD in Reserve) auch ganz leicht im Gehäusesteckplatz verschraubt werden, um noch besseren Halt zu haben.

Den Desktop PC wieder verkabelt und eingeschalten.
Die Festplatte wurde in der Taskleiste im unteren Bereich des Bildschirms sofort erkannt und installiert, ich habe sie sozusagen bis zum Ende der kurzen Installationszeit dann auch in Ruhe gelassen.

Kleiner Schock: am Arbeitsplatz war sie nicht sichtbar (wie gesagt: meine erste HDD die ich eingebaut habe).
Im Gerätemanager (Systemsteuerung, noch Windows 7) aber sehr wohl.

Ich habe mich dann ein wenig schlauer gemacht – hier nun die Lösung:
Einfach durchklicken durch
Systemsteuerung -
System und Sicherheit -
Verwaltung -
Computerverwaltung -
Datenspeicher/Datenträgerverwaltung -
Dann öffnet sich neues Fenster mit Volume (normalerweise NTFS wählen) -
zum Schluss eventuell noch einen Namen bzw. vorgeschlagenen Laufwerksbuchstaben zuweisen und bestätigen

Funktioniert und die neue Festplatte mit 2 TB (davon 1,81 TB freier Speicherplatz) wird nun auch im Arbeitsplatz angezeigt und kann problemlos verwendet werden. Sie ist schnell und auch praktisch um Daten von der alten HDD an einem PC der noch über keinen USB 3.0 Anschluss verfügte intern auf die neue Seagate zu kopieren bzw. zu verfrachten.

Ob Sie im längeren Gebrauch besteht wird sich weisen.
Vorerst bin ich sehr zufrieden damit und freue mich über mehr Speicherplatz :-)

Nachtrag 4/2018:
mittlerweile hat die Seagate 2 TB ihren Platz in einem neueren PC mit Hot Swap-Schacht (Einschub für Festplatten, die auch während der PC eingeschaltet ist ausgetauscht werden können) gewechselt und wurde von Windows 10 sofort erkannt. Ich bin nach wie vor zufrieden.

Nachtrag 9/2018:
Die Seagate läuft nach wie vor problemlos, es gibt keinerlei Schwierigkeiten sie als Laufwerk zu erkennen, der Datentransfer und Sicherungen funktionieren tadellos und extrem schnell.

Sollte Ihnen meine Rezension bei Ihrer Entscheidung und eventuell auch beim Einbau weiter geholfen haben, würde ich mich über ein “hilfreich” per Klick sehr freuen!
