Wow, nice ratings but is it reliable and last a long time? :P

Newegg has the Seagate 8TB drive on sale today and tomorrow for $199.99 with
promo code, or $229.99 without the promo. The Seagate reviews are pretty
bad, though. Also, note that the Seagate is SMR, so it comes with slow
writes.

5 Stars - 47% (15)
4 Stars - 22% (7)
3 Stars - 3% (1)
2 Stars - 3% (1)
1 Star - 25% (8)

Hopefully, the WD does better than this one.
