5 out of 6 people that play Russian Roulette have a personal experience that it's safe.
The huge failure rate for Seagate was predominately the 3TB drives, but their entire range has a higher failure rate than WD and HGST

Hot!
I see Amazon have matched so I've bought it from there as I had £50 in vouchers to spend.
Been waiting for this to drop - Thanks for the heads-up OP :smiley:

Some people haven't got a Scooby.
Seagate had issues with their 2 and 3TB drives but the 4 and 5 are far more reliable.
It goes without saying; if you can't afford to lose the data stored on the drive back it up to something else too.

Great price for the capacity. I've reserved one while I consider the Seagate failure rate and make up my mind.
Flubit also gave an instant offer of £96.99

one of mine has recently had the click of death, no possible way of getting the stuff back without paying out a small fortune

£10 voucher for every £100 spent. Has it expired?

Should be fine with an xbox one.
I've got a 5TB Toshiba drive plugged into mine and it was detected just fine.

good price (lost my faith in seagate though after couple of drive failures)

Me too.
I am now only buy WD Red or Black.
Although this price is good. I am not taking the chance.
Originally I was thinking of upgrading my storage to 8TB per drive, and the price is around 180-200 per drive.
But given I had bad experience with Seagate and their 8TB drive do not have good review, I give up on that as well.
