Working perfectly great in my Ideacentre 5i , it was super easy to install. This product is affordable too.

i’ve had it in my oc for the past couple months it works perfectly fine but i’m gonna upgrade to an ssd this drive was temporary

I've been using nothing but these 1TB Barracudas since they came out in 2007 when they were super expensive. I'm currently using three of these in a Synology DS416. I have two of these Synology boxes, which replaced my HP MediaSmart EX490 boxes, which I ran for about ten years. I did not by new drives for the Synology boxes, but rather gradually moved over my 10 year old Barracudas. I started with two used 1TB Barracuda drives in the Synology which were hot spares from the old Wintel servers. Then I copied the data from my other drives, and then plugged in one of the old data drives just liberated. After the volume rebuilt itself, I got a report that one of the drives had a bunch of bad sectors. So I ordered this new one using Prime, and the next day replaced the failing drive. Ok, now it gets interesting. Synology claims you can hot swap a drive without it being in some sort of special hot swap tray, so I tried it. It worked perfectly. The Barracuda spun up and was added to the available farm. I used the Synology utility to then add it to the volume and told it to "repair" the volume. It all worked perfectly. From the time I opened the Prime package until the drive had been replaced was all of ten minutes. The Seagate Barracudas are super reliable. The other two, which are also ten years old, are still going strong, but I'll start swapping them out for new drives, one at a time any way. I think after running continuously that long, that just maybe I've asked enough of them - just maybe. Gotta love these drives. And, if you haven't tried the Synology boxes and you need NAS or a small home or SOHO server, you really can't beat them for ease of use. Yes, you don't get an AD with them, and you can't load a WinTel database server or mail system on them, but if you don't need those, they're great.

Have only had it for a month or so, but so far, so good. It’s replacing a 13 year old version of the same model that had started giving me a warning about its age (I believe it was crystal disk software that warned me, while preparing to do a backup).A great value and most importantly, reliable for me.
