I need the Seagate FireCuda 120 SSD 1TB because I recently retired and am finding how quickly images chew up space. I'm gathering together images for family history, as well as nature pictures.

I need the Seagate FireCuda 120 SSD 1 TB because I have an unbearably slow internet connection and I can't download the recent ~100 GB games in a few hours, so I need a larger storage to have them downloaded as I don't know when I want to play with what . :)

I need the Seagate FireCuda 120 SSD 1TB because I am learning about machine learning, and I want to create ML models on COVID-19. I have always counted on Seagate for the most reliable hard drives (only small used HDDs off of eBay, but still...), and I would love to use a fast SSD to be able to learn about and train machine learning models with one less bottleneck.

I need the Seagate FireCuda 120 SSD 1TB because I was too far behind both in terms of capacity and storage working speed. I would be very proud to use a Seagate ssd in my computer.
Thank you

I need the Seagate FireCuda 120 SSD 1TB because I have just had 2 Seagate hard drives give me SMART errors with immanent failure (Relocated sector count) both 500Gbytes (Barracuda 7200.12 s/n 9vm6r835 and Barracuda 7200.11 s/n 9qm764cf). The prize of a Firecuda 1TB drive would be a great replacement for these failed drives. Good luck to all and thank you for the chance to win a top notch prize!

I need the Seagate FireCuda 120 SSD 1TB because it is the perfect match for my data processing job.

1. As it has 1 TB big storage so I can store my raw data and database storage on it and also fast SSD so it will greatly increase data processing speed than my existing HDD.

I work a lot with gigantic data processing. My workflow starts from processing raw data to do ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) into the database management system followed by aggregation to be a summary of information that can be displayed in the dashboard visualization.

2. As reviewed by W1zzard in this link,
A. The Seagate FireCuda 120 1TB SSD has Durability: 600 TBW (Terabytes Written), more than enough to store my data safely.

B. In the Write Intensive Usage section, which is the most important part of data processing, W1zzard concludes:

Code:
 "If you plan on writing a lot of data to an SSD, this is the drive you want. Write speeds above 500 GB / s all the time, no TLC write holes - amazing results that are better than many M.2 NVMe SSDs in our test group".


Thanks to Techpowerup, Seagate and everyone involved in this giveaway thread.
