Seagate Barracuda Compute drives in 2TB, 3TB and 4TB are all SMR. The 1TB Compute drive is PMR. Barracuda Pro drives are all PMR, hence the inflated price. Do not be persuaded by the 256MB cache, this offsets the drop in random read/write speed associated to the SMR drive. Seagate do not disclose which of their drives utilize SMR and have removed this information from their datasheets, so I hope this informs your purchases.
The reason for 4 stars even though it failed? The customer service experience was genuinely the best I have ever seen. Chat support at 11pm, to a human, they had a refund in my account in minutes, and they arranged an easy way to send the bad drive back....I swore I wouldn't buy one of these again...but I did. I can't beat that customer service experience and safety net.
Likely just unlucky with bad drive, but very satisfied with god tier customer service.

By chance I found out recently that SMR drives pose serious issues for NAS and RAID implementations, and that several drive manufacturers have been hiding the fact that they are using SMR technology to reduce costs and not declaring that they are using it on an open way.
This is one such drive, I recommend you keep away from this drive and really research the drive before had to avoid this well hidden pitfalls. I certainly do not trust Seagate as much as I once did because of this. Also check the drive part number after you receive it as this listing shows 2 possible variants even for the 4TB option.
To make sure I unpacked my backup PC which already had a second drive and attempted to install the new drive.
Again no second drive appeared in windows or BIOS. Conclusion faulty drive. Decided to leave small drive in current PC and take advantage of Amazon's return policy.
Not Amazon's fault package was undamaged and sealed. The problem lies with the manufacturers, as the price of drives falls the number of faulty ones seems to increases!
The item arrived in a bubble bag, not the usual amazon box, but I didn't notice any damage to the bag, so I'm assuming the disk was dropped prior to shipping as opposed to being miss-handled during delivery.
Completely useless hunk of plastic and metal, and a waste of my time... will be requesting a refund / replacement.

I recently built a PC with a 500GB SSD for the C: drive and two of these for the D: drive. Windows 10 has this amazing Storage Pool ReFS feature that allows you to do both RAID 0 and RAID 1. I opted for RAID 1 which is mirror so the data on D: is safe from one drive failing. Storage Pool ReFS does not allow you to boot from it hence the SSD.
Seriously you should be using SSD as your main drive and these hard drives for storage and backup not for running programs.
