Review: Seagate Archive HDD v2 8TB SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache Internal Bare Drive with SMR Technology 3.5" - ST8000AS0022 - Lotsa storage but not very fast. Works great for archiving, like the name says.
Review: Write speed isn't great, fluctuated from ~160MB/s to down to ~8MB/s copying ... - Write speed isn't great, fluctuated from ~160MB/s to down to ~8MB/s copying almost 2TB of movies. Read speed is fine, more than enough to stream content from. Takes a sec to spool up, but other than that it's been great. Over 17000hrs on one and just bought another. Drives are the exact same, just different firmware versions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best value archive hdd
*by R***P on April 15, 2018*

this is a great drive for long term archive of movies pictures etc. just be careful to check warranty expiration date at Seagate.com before you open package. Twice now I have received drives with only 1 year left that had sat on a shelf somewhere too long
