Review on πŸ”Œ Seagate Expansion 3TB Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive (STEA3000400) in Black by Mei Liana ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not satisfactory, upset with the product.

Commentary on the STEA2022400 model, which has 2 terabytes of memory. I spent a week researching the topic of external hard drives, and I made my decision to purchase one completely based on the reviews and ratings I found online as well as the information provided on the websites of various manufacturers. It is necessary to have the disk in order to store photo archives, papers, assorted applications, and torrents that are downloaded remotely. The most of the time, you will have your device connected to the Asus RT-AC68U router. High speed, dependability, and not necessarily SMR were the primary characteristics to consider (tiled recording). The disc has received positive feedback overall, however nowhere on the packaging does it specify the recording method that was utilized. It has been decided; take it. When I began to unpack everything, I got a glimpse of what was hiding behind the pretty exterior. The damned thing finally arrived: a ST2022LM007-1R8174 hard drive, which is the same one that had a tiled record and had extremely unfavorable comments from users. It is unfortunate, to say the least, that the maker does not communicate this in any way, shape, or form whatsoever. As an advanced user, I would prefer to select a product that has a so-called "narrow" range of features and parameters, but unfortunately, this appears to be a game of chance for me. It is important to note that the initial hours of disk operation went off without a hitch, that I connected it to a laptop via USB3 and fed it a folder with movies that totaled more than 300 GB, that the recording speed was more or less stable and was in the range of 90-130 Mb/s, and that the temperature was maintained in the range of 48-50 degrees Celsius (room with air conditioning). Because of the enormous number of unfavorable reviews caused by the marriage of this particular hard disk drive model (ST2022LM007), I am no longer able to entrust him with all of the essential data that I need to store while maintaining my peace of mind. In conclusion, the purchase of this external HDD caused conflicting emotions. On the one hand, when using the disk in the first hours after unpacking, we see a relatively stable and good speed. On the other hand, extremely negative reviews about the disk model inside the case, frequent cases of marriage and data loss, and the very fact that the manufacturer does not indicate anywhere that this drive uses SMR all contributed to conflicting emotions.
