Seagate BarraCuda Pro 12TB Internal Hard Drive Performance HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache for Computer Desktop PC Laptop – Frustration Free Packaging (ST12000DM0007) (Renewed)

Cant go wrong with these bad boys. I have 7 of them and no crc errors since owning. Highly recommend, speeds are as advertised and they are sturdy builds.

So far so good. Easy install, fast and quiet drive.

Load and go!

i was searching for a large HD for my POE NVR and i came across this device. Since it's a good price per TB, i just bought it. When i got it, it says it's certified refurbished which i thought this one wasn't. I usually do not like to buy refurbished hard drives ad they usually dont last long, especially for something like an NVR which is constantly recording. Anyways, they shipped it very quickly and it has a new label and the device was packed like it was a new product. The label says certified refurbished, but i could have purchased a drive 4TB smaller but brand new for less So not sure how long this thng will last but i decided to give it a shot. Will report back if it dies early but i think should be ok. Anyways, for the price it's not a bad deal, but lets see how long this lasts. For now, 4 stars, the drive looks new and works, it was my fault for not reading the whole page to see that it was refurbed. If it works for a few years i'll bump it up to 5.

I bought the Seagate BarraCuda Pro 12TB less than a year ago, and it’s already showing bad sectors and overheating issues. The drive makes noticeable noise during operation and sometimes freezes completely. I expected much better reliability and quiet performance from a premium product like this. Unfortunately, it turned out to be frustrating and unstable. Not recommended for anyone looking for a reliable long-term storage solution.

Amazing no noise at all and works above what I expected the only thing I have to say is the 12tb not being fully there due to the binaries bs

Good hard drive backup. Reasonably quick as hard drives go.

My biggest complaint is that this drive was delivered in an envelope without any protection. I heard the clank when the delivery guy dropped it on the cement porch outside my front door. It wasn't damaged and appears to work fine. I ran smartctl on it and this is what seems weird. This drive is supposed to be refurbished, but according to smartctl, it's never been turned on before, which makes me wonder if the SMART data got reset or if I somehow ended up with a new drive.
