Review on πŸ’½ Seagate ST500LT012 500GB 2.5" Internal Hard Drive - Momentus Thin by Alvin Hltan ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A nice option for the money, one of the best deals.

Bought in an old working HP laptop to replace a smaller disk. that was also a seagate and now continues to work as an external drive. the drive (along with the laptop) runs mostly 24/7 with a few interruptions. the average working temperature is 40-45 degrees, with rare rises to +60 and drops to +10. the shock sensor counted 15 events, well, it happened . Current Pending Sector / Reallocation Event by zeros. Load/unload cycle count over 500 thousand (when did you have time?). write / read at the level of 100-110 Mb / s. Apparently I'm (un)lucky :)

Pros
  • cheap, quiet, fast, low consumption.
Cons
  • thin (7mm versus 9, rather not a drawback, but an appointment. I had to make an additional gasket)
