Product came WELL packaged within multiple layers of cardboard. Electrostatic packaging appeared unopened and drive looked new. Luckily I found my extra SATA cables and quick install hard drive brackets for my housing. All connected effortlessly and my I7-2700 recognized it when I started the system back up. Took me a while to figure out how to get Windows 10 to recognize the space but soon figured that out and I now have 1.8TB of useable storage space for files and backups. So far so good and no hickups yet.

Others: I really do not have much to say here. If this drive is not going to see a lot of usage, it'll last a while I'm sure. BUT if you are a power user or use a computer EVERY day for a while, this may not be the drive for you. Light duty computer usage, like what my parents do, this drive is perfect, gamer or heavy user, forget it. OR at least only use it to toss data on that you really do not care to lose. I personaly would want to spend a few more dollars and get a drive with a much higher MTBF. A two year warranty to me really states that it'll die in a year or right after the 2 years. Most drives with a 3 year warranty will last more than 3 years. I have some WD Black's that are more than 5 years old and have had 24/7/365 operation. Did I get lucky?

Or, maybe the WD Black is an enterprise level drive for the consumer. Do your research and find good drives, or have multiple so that you will be okay if one fails. I'm a big believer in RAID+good backups. This Seagate drive is CLEARLY not made for an array but you could do it. That would make for an interesting test. All told, I'll give this drive a 4 star, good basic drive, but I think there are better choices out there for your cash!

My HP Envy Computer Hard Drive crashed and I love this computer. 16g memory, fast, great graphics card. Never any problems. I didn't want a new computer so I purchased this hard drive and windows 10 and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. It was so easy to install. Just pull the lever and pull the hard drive remove the two plugs. take out the four screws put the new one in the four screws and slide it in. Turn the computer on and that was all it took. I really know nothing about computers and it was so simple. I couldn't be happier. It saved me alot of money not having to purchase a new computer. I am very thankful. It is a great product. I can't post this message thanks to my new hard drive.

Typical Seagate, typical Barracuda - ABSOLUTELY SUPERIOR to all the rest, this size, no different! When I have been lured away fro Seagate by a good deal on another brand, I have regretted it. Seagate drives last longer, perform more reliably I have yet to see one fail. Usually they are obsolete first. Actually I did see one die. It was in an external. I tripped on the cord and it bounced off the floor. No drive survives that. The exception of this drive is that is was the best price for this size. I paid a price for this seen only 2-3y ago. They are all far too expensive now! This was a DEAL! Think I will buy one more!
Two of these in raid 0 is FAST These drives benchmarked 450 MB/s reads in crystal disk mark. And around 400 MB/s writes. Crazy fast for a hard drive. Tho that was just sequentials. My randoms remained around ~2 MB/s which is decent but expected of a hard drive. I dont recommend anyone do this for anything but non criticals (one drive dies, all data is gone) but for something like game storage but want decent loading times, this is GREAT. Nearly ssd like speeds on sequentials! These drives are also super quiet. Much quieter than my old seagates from like 5 years ago, its honestly very impressive how far weve come in hard drive tech.
Was playing a game (that was on the drive) when all of a sudden a access error occurred. Drive showed it was there but accessing anything on the drive was a no go. Shut down the pc and double checked all connections and rebooted, seem to be ok after, so I started to move essential files from it to another drive, about 15% in it just plain failed to transfer and is stuck at 100% usage even when all programs have been closed. Tried to reboot again and it gets stuck at windows and just sits there. So I unhooked it and pc boots in under 10 seconds. Sad, the other, older seagate drive is still chugging right along. Barely got a year out of this one.....lets see if Seagate actually honors they're warranties.
Waited 'til the next day to open them - reaching room temperature is probably not an issue in the summer, but that's how it worked out. Both 2 TB drives were initial recognized by the system without a hitch (some people have mentioned having problems with that, thankfully not the case here). My specific setup placed each drive in an external enclosure (a Rosewill RX358 V2) routed into the motherboard via the eSATA connection (no hot-swapping, straight in). The machine is a 10+ year old Vista desktop – probably speaks more for the versatility of the enclosure than the drives, but it did work without a problem. Anyway, did a full format on both drives (took over 3 hours each), after which I ran CHKDSK on each (2.5 hrs each). And then after that, I did ran a surface ... MoreWaited 'til the next day to open them - reaching room temperature is probably not an issue in the summer, but that's how it worked out.

Anyway, did a full format on both drives (took over 3 hours each), after which I ran CHKDSK on each (2.5 hrs each). And then after that, I did ran a surface scan (read only, I think) using “Minitool Partition Wizard Free”. Great free program BTW – I’ve used its surface scan function with great success before. And that was a another 4 hours or so. I remember clocking an initial 11 hours of non-stop usage. And then after THAT, I copied a significant bit of stuff onto each. 1st drive has like 260 GB free now (so 1.5 TB copied), and the 2nd one like 900 ish GB free. As of right now, the drives are mostly for offline storage - so except for a few days of (literally) non-stop activity in the beginning, they haven’t seen a whole lot of up-time overall. I do plan on updating this review in about six months – so say a prayer that I remember to. ;) If for some reason it gets locked and I can’t edit the review later (I haven’t done this too often), hopefully at least this initial pass will be helpful. P.S. - I didn’t mess with trying to adjust the firmware in regards to the Advanced Power Management (APM) to change the head-parking timing. Mostly because a forum talking about it referred to an earlier make of this same drive – the 0001 version from 4 years ago (ST2000DM001). I’ve got 3 of them in PCs (they get frequent to daily usage) with the drives themselves getting moderate to HEAVY usage. One drive in particular has received almost constant usage on a daily basis – over 4 years running. Since it doesn’t seem to have affected these models from 4 years ago, I figured I’d just leave it on these newer ones.
Bought this to upgrade from a over-full 1TB WD Black on my main system. This is for game storage on a system with an SSD for boot/OS. I read all the critical reviews and considered all the various drives I had used over the years, then went ahead and picked one up before the promo code ran out. I have completely downloaded my current library of games and have plenty of room left. I have not had any performance issues, the drive is completely validating the claim of 7200RPM spindle speed. I think the reviewers who are having trouble need to look at how their motherboards are configured and/or look at updating their primary chipset drivers. I have already picked up another of these when the sale price repeated and a 4TB model on similar sale. I have complete ... MoreBought this to upgrade from a over-full 1TB WD Black on my main system.

I have complete confidence in these drives, far less negative reviews than recent WD Blue/Black reviews.
Having built dozens upon dozens of computers through the years, I have used all manner of hard drive manufacturers. Seagate hard drives have graced many of those and to date, I have had great success with them. True, in the age of super fast SSD's, the good old mechanical drives with whirring, spinning platters are hardly very exciting, bit they are still great when extra capacity is needed and super fast speeds are not required. This 2TB Seagate BarraCuda M006 is priced right in the mix at $69. The 64MB cache is great, sadly the 2 year warranty is not nearly as good. To get a 5 year warranty you will need to spend more on the Pro model which is of course more expensive. That being said, I have 3 cheaper Seagates spinning in my server right now 24/7 for over 5 years ... MoreHaving built dozens upon dozens of computers through the years, I have used all manner of hard drive manufacturers.

To get a 5 year warranty you will need to spend more on the Pro model which is of course more expensive. That being said, I have 3 cheaper Seagates spinning in my server right now 24/7 for over 5 years and all are working perfectly still. Acoustic wise, this drive is very quiet. Spinning away far below the hum of my case fans. Performance is decent. Like most mechanical drives, it does well with larger files. I believe in real world testing and not synthetics. Testing 8GB mp4 averaged transfer speeds of 179MB/sec for read and 101MB/sec for write. This is a decent result. Transferring 10GB of MP3's was a hair slower with 157MB/sec average read, but strangely faster with writes at 142MB/sec average. Overall I'd say that the Seagate BarraCuda ST2000DM006 is a solid drive. It performs well, is quiet and is priced fairly. The only real downside is the slim 2 year warranty. I give it 4 eggs.
I used this drive to store my Steam/Epic/Blizzard libraries. Game updates/installs can perform 10s of GBs of writes (ARK is over 100 GB). - Original drive started showing significant slow downs after about a year, and then Steam started reporting "Disk Write Error"s for most game updates, especially for larger 10+ GB updates. I noticed that on these updates the drive write speed would start off fine but then shortly plummet to mere 10s KB/sec then to zero. - Early on the drive did not show any errors. It passed the short tests in SeaTools. However, it was very common for MS Windows to report errors in the file system. Requiring me to periodically run chkdsk to fix. - The drive eventually showed errors in the short/long tests in SeaTools and the drive was replaced ... MoreI used this drive to store my Steam/Epic/Blizzard libraries.

Same symptoms. Read/write speeds dropped to 3/67 MB/s (yes, that is 3 MB/s read speed) as measured by CrystalDiskMark. Both of the drives which failed were SMR. I have 2 other Seagate Barracuda HDD drives in my system which are 4 and 6 years old, but still going strong. These drives are the older CMR technology. I do not think SMR is up to task for handling game libraries. Final note: I had originally given this product a 2 egg rating because it was being replaced under warranty. I would rate it at 1 egg since the warranty replacement also failed. However, the site will not allow me to change the egg rating.
