This drive is SMR (shingled magnetic recording). Seagates lame work around for higher capacity. This is likely the cause of poor reviews by seagates these days. The drive has to rewrite data over and over again to pack it tightly. This obviously causes early failures when used often. Stick to 4tb for seagates without SMR and WD or HGST for 5tb and larger.
