I was so happy with this that I decided to use it for my SQL Server machine. I have about 8 instances of SQL data servers on one machine, each with numerous databases, and I make daily (7 day rotation) and weekly backups (up to 1 year). On one drive, it was filling things up too much. So I got this as a second external SSD, and it's now the weekly backups for all instances and databases. Works great! Hardly noticeable. And I DID pull a backup for a client from 2 weeks ago and it restored really fast. Like my Mac, this Windows 2019 Server shuts down entirely each night (after backups), so it's not on 24/7. Haven't had any issues.
For the price, this drive is fantastic. If it weren't for how quickly technology improves, I'd probably buy a couple of more and stick them in the closet until needed. Great storage solution!
I game on a laptop, so this is perfect considering i use a 2nd monitor from my laptop screen and game on both screens when I want. But its nice to have the SSD for the fast game loading. I would recommend it because of how many times i've loaded into games in seconds.
I know SSD's are expensive. But I think this product is worth around 60-70. I think i paid about 80+ for it. Probably more.
But regardless this is a good deal if your wanting to game and get something good. I've had no issues
it comes with a USB - C and a typical external USB plugin. 2.0? or something idk
But because of the price i want to say 4.6/5. Just because of the issues I had. And the cord for the USB C is just a little too small. But otherwise. Great product (Just lower it. I would have gone to a better product if i was smarter and had the knowledge i have now. But its whatever)
I bought this solid state drive for a desktop computer I built in 2010, around an Asus P7P55D mother board with an early I7 processor. The motherboard was 2009 vitage, built in Japan, and a top of the line product of the time. I still use it everyday.
The Seagate Barracuda would not work on the Asus desktop. I tried it on another desktop computer I bought from HP in 2016, an HP Envy with an I7 processor. The Seagate SSD worked just fine on this computer.
It took me a while to figure out what the problems was. I also think some other people who have bought a Seagate and have complained about it not working actually had the same problem. The problem was that the old Asus P7P55D did not have USB-3 controllers incorporated in the motherboard. After all, in 2009 USB-3 was just being introduced. What I found out was that Seagate drives are NOT downward compatible. In other words, they will not work on a computer with the older USB-2 drivers and controllers. This situation was the same with Seagate external backup drives. They will NOT work on older computers that only have USB-2 controllers. You can tell by looking at the end of the cable, is it black or white or red? If so, then it is probably a USB-2. If it is blue then most likely it is a USB-3. But not always! On the old Asus P7P55D the mother board had two usb ports that had blue tabs in them. But the schematic diagram of the Asus showed that only USB-2 controllers were incorporated. And the spec sheet verified this.
All the Western Digital backup drives and internal drives proved to be downward compatible to USB-2. As a result, I only now purchase Western Digital (WD) My Passport drives.
This issue only arises when going from the SSD or regular hard drive, from Sata output to USB. If you are using the Seagate internally and are going from the sata output of the drive to the motherboard sata input/output you won’t have a problem. The problem with internal drives is when you are cloning the new drive via a usb arrangement to then be installed into the computer once the cloning is done. If your adapter (sata to usb) is USB-3 and your computer doesn’t have USB-3 controllers then you are out of luck.
Fortunately, you can purchase a SATA to USB-2 adapter from Amazon for about $8.00
As to some other customers who accused this vendor of not giving a refund on a defective SSD, I don’t know the particulars but I suspect something such as described above probably happened. From over 40 years of working with computers I can tell you that it is very very rare to have a defective solid state drive. They have no moving parts. If they are damaged it is usually because the person has not grounded themselves of discharge static charge on their body.
I am writing this review to let other customers know that from this vendor I got a full refund. I returned the fully working SSD to them in a carefully packaged box with bubble wrap and sent it to them via United Parcel Service, (UPS) as from lots of experience, that is the most reliable and safest method.

Reviewed in Mexico on April 9, 2021
Currently SSD's are expensive per GB compared to HDD but well worth it as they are not prone to mechanical failure. Seagate are a well known make which is why I chose them after some research. I have used this drive on a windows based machine and a Linux based machine with no issues at all and it's a great way to transfer large files between the two.
