Review on Seagate ST16000NM002G 16TB 7200RPM HDD by Buana ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

the drives are perfect for a nas that you put in a closet and you wont hear. Its pros: huge volume - this is from the obvious. i took two to the computer - i downloaded half of the rutracker)) ill take two more later for us on 4 disks. the write/read speed is great! price! of the solutions for 16tb, we only have western digital for 10 thousand more. or seagate ironwolf, which are also more expensive and, according to the company itself, are like the previous generation. in general, if you want exactly 16tb disks - take it either exos x18 16tb - there is no difference, just x18 are declared with a higher memory density. Its cons: terribly noisy! and im not talking about background noise, its around 30 db, im talking about head parking during recording, they sometimes just drive the devil out of the disk. i have a chic case with noise isolation be quiet darkbase pro 900 - even in it the disks are audibly noisy. sleeping in a room with a computer with such disks is not an option. my computer is not in the bedroom, so its not critical, but it should be taken into account when buying. i compare the noise with wd100efax: seagate is significantly noisy, including due to 7200rpm (wd100efax has 5400rpm). i also compared it with wd100efbx, which is 7200 rpm - seagate is still noisier. in short, server disks and you need to shove them into the desktop with an understanding of what you are going for)) in my case, the norms - noise is a retribution for volume.
