    SUMMARY: Two stars because when they work, they seem to work well, but between the drives and the supplier, I'm experiencing a 60% success rate, and that's unacceptable when it comes to computer hardware, and especially data storage.--------------------------I originally ordered 4 drives, along with a new Synology DS418 NAS. Set up the NAS, plugged in my drives, and one immediately failed. I attempted to initialize it using my Windows 7 PC, but it was dead on arrival. The platters would spin, but there was no making the drive work, so back it went.The replacement drive arrived, and I had a similar experience. I first attempted to initialize it with the computer, and it returned gibberish while repeatedly failing to initialize. (See attached photo.) I figured I'd give the NAS a shot and...nada. Another dead drive.It may be worth noting that the company who sent me the drive put it in a box with ZERO padding, which is at best negligent (to be kind). View the second photo. So I'm left wondering if they sent a good drive which bounced its way across the country, or if these drives are of inherently poor quality. If I were starting from scratch, I wouldn't bother to try my luck with these.Because best practice is to keep identical drives in the same array, I am left with the choice of once again ordering a replacement drive or returning all 4 drives (after returning my data to its original sources) and starting fresh with another product line.TWO MORE NOTES:1. Although you see the wonderful "PRIME" logo next to this item, you can forget your 2-day shipping. It's more like 6 days to the East Coast (and it will tell you that at checkout).2. Seagate's warranty on these drives extends to Sep 2019. I was tempted to pursue a replacement that way, but the drive was brand-new, and I really should be able to expect Amazon and its associated resellers to send me a working product. Let's hope third time really is the charm.

    Capacity: 4TBStyle: Standard DriveVerified Purchase
    So far, it is very impressive. I ran a SeaTools for DOS long scan straight out of the box. With a drive this size, it takes over six hours. The drive was in a dock with no fan cooling. At the end of the (successful) test, the drive was still cool.

    I bought it for my Monoprice NVR. The NVR comes without a disk. I had placed an old, but perfectly-working Samsung 1 TB SpinPoint in the NVR to test it with. The playback was notably jerky with four cameras, and sometimes got behind real-time.

    The 4 TB Seagate Surveillance drive was recognized immediately by the NVR, and I noticed right away the improvement in motion continuity with four cameras at 720P. It is quiet and cool.

    I have owned more hard drives than possibly any man alive. The vast majority of them have been Seagates. I have lost maybe a half dozen to failure (all after years of service, and several with questionable cooling) in 28 years. Anybody that claims Seagate hard drives are not the best does not know squat about computers. WD are the least reliable, by far.

    Very fast drives for the cost. Keep in mind that Hadr drives at this price fail a lot more then they use to. Always make a backup of data that you care about. Used these in a nice Synology unit and they work well. As far as longevity I never expect much from hard drives now a days. These are decent, fast drives with a lot of room to move around at a very good price.

    Works GREAT. I have a Lorex 16ch 1080p HD security camera system, currently using 13 HD 1080p Cameras (Yes, the one from Costco, then I added the 13th camera). It came with 2TB installed, with an extra hard drive slot, and is capable of running two 4TB drives max. I left the original 2TB drive in there, and put this 4TB drive in the extra slot. Once I fired up the system it recognized the new drive, asked to format it, then within minutes I now had 6TB total storage. When it only had 2TB I was only able to record non-stop on all 13 cameras for about 4 days, now with 6TB it records non-stop for 12-13 days (System has been on, recording, 24/7 with the 6TB total for almost 5 months now) Once I add 3 more cameras (maxing out DVR at 16 cameras total) I will be buying another one of these 4TB drives to replace the original 2TB drive, maxing the DVR out at 8TB (hoping to get 16+ days of non-stop recording on all 16 cameras) . Im very please with Seagate and the quality of there products.

    Capacity: 4TBStyle: Standard DriveVerified Purchase
    Bought this for my new 16 channel security DVR. It was a plug and play installation and worked fine. One thing that I didn't realize
    was that there were drives that were optimized for digital video storage. Back in the old days we always used SCSSI drives for video
    because of their speed but now the SATA drives are faster than that! Still, if you are interested, read about how these drives are
    optimized for big files.
    The bottom line is that Seagate is a recognized brand with a good warranty and this one was priced right.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Shortened Warranty fudge by Seagate
    Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2019
    Capacity: 1TBStyle: Standard DriveVerified Purchase
    So, first off, the disk failed after just over 18-months of use in a security DVR. It was still recording OK, but would not play video back. I have swapped it out with a Toshiba 500GB drive while I got this repaired under the Seagate Warranty. The DVR is back to working fine, so definitely a faulty Seagate drive and I contacted Seagate.

    Their response after I gave them the Serial Number? "we want you to be a happy customer, but the warranty has expired." But wait, it was a two year warranty and it has been less than two years. From the order "Sold by: Amazon.com Services, Inc "

    "Ahhh," said the man, (he gave me his name) "the warranty runs from when we sell it to Amazon and not when Amazon sells it to you."

    OK, time to go back to a more reliable company for hard drives and Seagate will not be one of them.

    Caveat Emptor.

    Puedo decir que funciona perfecto en un NAS como servidor de archivos y sus características físicas son similares a cualquier otro disco de la marca.
    Para el precio de oferta que tenia, es la mejor elección, aunque ahora ya no puedo decir lo mismo puesto que en solo un día ha subido 100 €.
    La contra: es imposible pedir factura. Tanto Amazon como el vendedor han sido incapaces de hacerme una factura que cumpla la normativa española.
