I’ve been using this Seagate BarraCuda for over 3 years, and it’s still the drive with the highest storage capacity in my computer. I’ve installed heavy games like Call of Duty, FC 25, MK, and many others, and they all run very well. I haven’t had any technical issues with it, and it has definitely served its purpose.
Easy install, very good!
