Review on Seagate Barracuda hard drive 1 TB ST31000528AS by Andrey Koulev ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

I took 2 pieces in early April, and another one in early July. Confirming the recall below: One of the 3 screws is identified as ST31000523AS. Different pros: 2 magnetic plates for such a capacity, good speed (up to 130mb/s for reading) Cons below: the start is a little louder than the ST3500320AS; With active handling, it is clearly audible (although the screws are located half a meter from the head, in fact, without a case, it will be much better in the case); used less than a year yet, and all 3 drives smartly reassign sectors - 2 drives are still less than 10 remaps, the third one is already over 30. If it dies - I will change to WD
