Review on Seagate Expansion Portable 2TB External Hard Drive HDD – USB 3.0 for PC Laptop (STEA2000400), Black - Efficient Storage Solution for Your Computer by Nurul ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, good quality, not bad.

My smartctl defines the contents of the black box as ST4000LM024-2AN17V. (I'll ate my review if it breaks down :) 2022-12: two years later, the warranty expired, I finally opened a black box - without it, the temperature in the load dropped from 50 to 40 degrees, and the light bulb became even brighter, I had to wrap it with electrical tape in several layers. No broken blocks/files have been found for two years, the speed has not degraded. 2 2022-07: after two and a half years, it suddenly fell apart in less than a day, leaving no opportunity to react and copy files.

Pros
  • Copes with the task, no fatal problems were found in half a year of use, there are no broken and reallocated blocks, the speed is satisfactory (~ 110 megabytes per second for sequential reading)
Cons
  • At high load, it can heat up to 50 degrees: apparently, being in a black box does not have a very good effect on temperature (however, 50 degrees seems to be within the declared norm). At night, he moonlights with a blue flashing flashlight, he has to cover the light bulb. What they write about SMR in neighboring reviews is true, the recording speed still sometimes degrades.
