Review on ๐Ÿ’พ Seagate Barracuda ST4000LM024 4TB 2.5" Internal Hard Drive: Reliable and High-Capacity Storage Solution by Kichiro แ Œ

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

As far as I understand, Seagate is so far the only company that produces 2.5-inch drives above 2TB for the consumer segment. The increase in disk space has resulted in an increase in the actual thickness of the HDD. It is 1.5 times thicker than the standard. Therefore, be careful when choosing a drive for your laptop, because. It won't fit into any laptop. It fit right into my HP OMEN X 17-ap002ur, the notches on the factory slide did not fall into the grooves due to the increase in the thickness of the disk, but this did not prevent it from being tightly fixed in the compartment. For a desktop in a closed case, an almost ideal silent option. The screenshot in the crystal disk does not show the entire volume, since when cloning the native terabyte disk, an additional logical recovery partition (Recovery) was created as much as 46.4 GB instead of 14, as in the native one, where the factory installation image is stored. Speed โ€‹โ€‹indicators are close to those shown by other instances of this model in tests and reviews on technical resources. At first I did not notice that the laptop became a little more noisy against the general background. But at night, when there is silence around, I heard a little unpleasant noise of the disc spindle. In general - not critical.

Pros
  • 1. Volume 4TB in 2.5" format 2. Good speed performance
Cons
  • 1. The thickness of the disk, but this is more likely not a drawback, and not quite a standard 2.5 "form factor, which is discussed below. 2. Noisy for a laptop, but not critical.

Got pros: More or less in terms of speed. Some cons: Used for rare backups. Died 2 months later with all data.
