    Just a quick PSA or whatever the hell you call em to you people who are into computers… DO NOT TRUST SEAGATE.
    For one in my experience with them, I had a 3TB HDD in my computer in it’s factory model. That thing failed within a year, in which it no longer worked and all my data was gone except for the data on my 258GB SSD. Now I went to put in a brand new Seagate Barracuda SSD into my brothers new PC. Not HDD which is the one known for failing within a year, but SSD. A nice fast 6GB per second SSD that I put in, went to enable it… BUT it showed up in the device control panel as enabled already. But it didn’t function as an SSD. It just sat there. Did nothing. Can’t store anything, nothing. Brand new. This is 2 seagate products consecutively not working. Stick with either Samsung, WD or some other company, but seagate shipping what I would assume is a failed SSD, that’s just ridiculous and a waste of money.

    • Not good.
      Never knew anything about Seagate, but the name itself doesnt sound promising.
      I would say Crucial or Kingston could do a better job at being SSDs.
      Thank you for warning us and saving our money and time.

        Possibly might be wrong about the SSD issue due to me figuring out that my brothers PC apparently had a RAID port for a hard drive rather than a SATA available. So in order to get it to work, I would have to enable and create a storage pool linked to the new SSD. Which is retarded. I still am sceptical considering it wasn’t allowing me to create a storage pool after I uninstalled the device and restarted the computer. Barracuda SSD might be fine, but the hard drive is in no way fine.
