The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

I don’t know about others, but my model (1CH164) comes in at least two versions: two-pancake and three-pancake. Heads, respectively 4 or 6. You can distinguish by the depth of the recess on the lid: if 0.5 cm or a little more, then two pancakes, if less, then three. Somewhere a long time ago I read that it was the three pancakes that fell in the first years of work. I, fortunately, got caught with two pancakes.
I bought it in the summer of 2022, today the flight is normal, the operating time is 11 thousand hours. Let's see how long it lasts in the end.
: bad sectors appeared in August 2022. I turned it off until I find a replacement. Let's see if it pops up or not.

Pros

1. Price/volume ratio at the time of purchase. 2. Noise level. I don't hear it at all when I'm at work. 3. Speed of work. Inferior to SSD, of course, but for a regular HDD, the speeds are good.

Cons

1. APM. Yes, yes, this nasty useless technology was rattling my brains with head parking every 2-3 minutes for a whole week, until I added hdparm with it disabled in autoload. 2. The presence of several variants of the same model, which differ greatly in terms of reliability and service life, about this in the comments.
