Review: I still don't understand why I can purchase this Seagate expansion backup unit for less than the cost of the naked Barracuda drive inside. Any hoo, if you want to use the drive as intended, it is designated a backup drive because it comes with software pre-loaded and the drive itself has two partitions, an EFI boot partition and a standard NTFS partition for your data. The idea being that you can easily boot from this unit in the event of a PC issue. But for those of us running Home Theatre PC's, the case is fairly easy to get into to harvest the naked drive. I have all the proper spudger/case tools, but I was not able to open the case without breaking a few case clips, but most of us don't keep the case after harvesting anyway. Regardless of whether you are using as intended, or harvesting for another purpose, I have been running an HTPC for twelve years and have found the Seagate Barracudas to be incredibly reliable. Even the drives running almost 24/7 have lasted for a minimum of 8 years. I have also found that Barracudas never just work one day and not the next, they seem to gently remind you that they are starting to reach end-of-life. I ripple the older drives through the house network storage unit, which runs in RAID1. You will walk down the hallway and notice one day that the array is rebuilding. That is the indication that one of the Barracudas has done all it can and it is time to order a new drive. But even then, the Seagate drives usually hang on in for another two months, giving you plenty of time to order a shiny new one from Amazon. So, as long as Seagate keep making then, I'll keep buying them.

Review: This is the 2nd one I have bought, after my son dropped the first one and knackered it. but that is no fault of the design, I guess any brand would break as it has moving parts inside (unlike a more expensive SSD). Easy to set-up, has ample storage and is good value for money. If using for PS4 or anything similar, I would advice getting some sticky feet to attach it to your console so it doesn't get knocked off
