(used to be) Great value for money - bought two now!
EDIT (27th April 2026): Hol-lee-fook, these prices, insane. $419 AUD now. Double when I bought the first two at $200 and $230. Not worth it at all IMO, unless other similar capacity HDD's are more expensive than this. As for the drives, they're both running great still. Older one is at 5391 Hours (since May 2025), and second newer one is at 3203 Hours (Since December 2025). They run whenever my PC is on, which, is quite a lot lol. EDIT (19TH February 2026): Price has gone up to $265. These were around $200 when I first purchased the first one, and $230 when I purchased the second one. Def grab these sooner than later. I reckon these will soar past $300. And yes, both are still going great. I will come here and continue to update this review, especially if anything bad happens. EDIT (4th December 2025): Just bought a second one a week ago Both are running great. They are not on 24/7 but pretty darn close to it and running fine so far. Using them in external 3.5" SATA to USB Enclosure. Packaging is literally the segate branded cardboard box it ships in, which is quite sturdy and complex, and then a paper amazon bag on the outside, and that's literally it. No Bubble wrap. But! Both times they've arrived unharmed and work fine. Takes about 5-7 days free delivery from the US to Sydney. Will be buying more if the price stays the same. ORIGINAL REVIEW (May 2025): Great value for money. Packaging could have been a bit more thorough but it arrived unharmed and crystal disk info showed no errors, and with no hours used. Please note when you do look into crystal disk info you’ll need to translate the numbers into raw data, so if it says “write errors: 9172672” (example), it’ll come out as “0” on. Just google “segate smart error calculator and should be the first result that comes up. Now I will note: I’ve had it for two months now, and it reeealllly slowed down to a crawl past week or two, doing 10-15 MB/S read / write - and sometimes 100% activity but no read or write. I went into “Defrag and optimise drives” in windows and it was at 76%., which is very high. I ran it for a day and a bit and it got down to 6%, and it runs MUCH smoother at 140/150 MB/S read/write like it was at original date of purchase. So a lot of these other reviewers (apart from physical damage by shipping) are probably not defragmenting their hdd’s properly Also please keep in mind this is a SMR drive not a CMR drive - can’t be bothered explaining here but just google it and you’ll see what I mean. TL;DR - you should treat this drive as a write once read many times which is what i’m treating this drive as.
