Review on πŸ’Ύ Seagate Exos 7E8 4TB 512n SATA 128MB Cache 3.5-Inch Enterprise HDD (ST4000NM0035) by Joe Jordan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Suspicious. suitable for data storage

The disc I received is also listed as TERASCALE not EXOS but the model number and specs appear to match Sea Tools. Date of Manufacture - 2018. This drive is LOUD, easily 2-3 times louder than the Seagate 7200 RPM 2TB it replaced. Power on hours and life bytes written were listed as 0 in Sea Tools, but the drive had the date in the marker at the top of the label, leading me to believe the drive was used and the time counters were erased in the firmware. As loud and annoying as this drive is, I'll probably use it in an external case.

Pros
  • Something above
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
