Great capacity, in little bitty living space.
Not fast, but pretty good for NAS. Reliability is a concern, but a couple months in and no issues yet. Beniice if there was more options in this size.

Used in a Tivo BOLT+
I wanted the largest 2.5″ drive I could get/afford to put into a Tivo Bolt+ DVR. I decided to take a chance on this refurbished drive as it is less expensive than a new one.The drive arrived in excellent packaging and looks to be new. I installed it in the Tivo Bolt+ DVR and it works as expected. I now have 790+ hours of HD recording space.Note that this is a 15mm high drive which is higher than most laptop drives, although 15mm is one of the accepted standard heights for 2.5″ drives. Just make sure that your device will take a drive of this height. It fits in the Tivo Bolt+ fine. I also put one of these into my MSI GT72S MQE laptop, and technically a 15mm drive doesn’t fit; I was able to install it bot the bottom cover of the laptop does not close securely where the hard driver is located (there is a bulge in the plastic). It is workable, but technically not correct.If you need a large capacity 2.5″ drive, this 5TB model is a good value at the refurbished price, as long as you can deal with the 15mm height.

Great storage and reasonable priced
Most 2.5 HDD in the 7mm slim form factor only go up to 2Tb. This drive is a bit thicker and not very fast, but work great for backups. I used it in a 5.7L SFF itx gaming build with a total of 17Tb storage.

Do not buy renewed
I bought this hard drive to use as my servility system storage. Worked once and when reformatting, it stopped working. Seller states on his page a 2 year seller warranty. They claim that they have no control over what’s on page. Contacted Amazon customer service and they directed me to seagate warranty. Seagate customer service let me know that the drive was used in a NAS system and the parent drive failed (how they knew that is beyond me). They claimed that they cannot service it through sea gate warranty because it was 5 years old. I bought it in 2023! Seller doesn’t want to provide support although it clearly states that on the item description and Amazon is allowing these types of sellers on their market. Be careful buying renewed. I am never purchasing a renewed item through Amazon. eBay has a better customer service experience and guarantee.

Massive Storage Power!
The Seagate BarraCuda Internal Hard Drive is a storage powerhouse! With its 5TB capacity, it offers ample space for all your files and media. The SATA 6Gb/s interface ensures fast data transfer, while the 128MB cache enhances overall performance. Despite its massive storage capacity, the 2.5-inch form factor and 15mm thickness make it suitable for various systems. If you’re in need of reliable and high-capacity storage, the Seagate BarraCuda is an excellent choice. Renew your storage capabilities with this impressive hard drive!

I made it fit into a PS4 Pro
Out of the box, this does not fit into a PS4 pro as the slot where it goes is not thick enough. The mounting bracket also adds bulk so it cannot be used in the final installation.Had to add some insulation to the exposed PCB side as that will rest directly on metalI removed the bottom cover of the PS4 pro and the rear metal shield.Then i connected the drive directly on SATA connectorFinally i replaced the rear metal shield. I did not screw the screws all the way down as the shield was bending around the hard drive. This also created some force to hold the drive in place as it would not have this benefit without the bracket.Now i have 1.5TB free space left after installing my whole library of PS4 games.

Drives fails within short period of time!
I bought two drives from this vendor. I had one drive fail on me under a year, but the vendor was nice enough to replace it (In fact, that is the reason why I am giving them a review as high as I am).Normally I don’t really have too many issues with hard drives, even refurbs I would use just for some throwaway space in my server, but these drives have been an issue. I had one completely fail on me in less than a year and now my other one starting to fail in about a year and a half since purchase.I would recommend going spend a little more money and getting a new drive over this because I, as well as others, have not been having a good experience with these drives. My plan was maybe to get 3-5 years, was hoping more towards 5 years, but I am not even getting 2 years out of these drives.
