Reliable product for all occasions, quality on par.

CrystalDiskMark 8 results included with the review; will work for a while - I will add a review. In principle, mechanical rotation disks are now taken for cache, temporary folders, temporary renderer files of all kinds - and durability is not expected from them, but still changing such screws every 11 months is an inconvenience, it may make sense to switch to cheap ones for these purposes ssd (the same 2.5 inches sata), search with a more or less "safety margin" according to TBW .

Pros

The amount of bubbles inside the box in which the courier brought the disc is off scale. Those. it was wrapped in one layer, pasted over with tape on top, and then they wrapped a soooo roll of bubble wrap on top, what else to do with it =)) It is clear that there were reviews (almost under every disc on the market there are such), they say that they carry pizza deliverymen and taxi drivers - and it is only in a factory bag - but such an amount of pimples is already a bit too much - and the box can be smaller in size and smaller pimples. The disk arrived working, determined both under ide and ahci, spinning of the spindle without noticeable extraneous sounds; the sound of head unparking, which is traditionally loud for a Seagate, does not get very hot during operation (neither when it lies open on the table, nor in a cage under airflow, 33-37C maximum when copying 1.4TB of data); Quiet, conventional Seagate drive in the consumer segment

Cons

Gray import, search for firmware on the Seagate website (from the 2022 only via VPN) by serial number: the serial number is not determined either in the European region, or in Asia / CIS, nowhere except . . China - in the China region, the serial number is determined , there are no new firmware. Seagate guarantees, which we loved so much, will also, of course, not be. This is an intra-Chinese product for the Chinese market, the seller (IP, of course)) put some kind of paperwork - like "sales receipt. Return time 7 days" you buy without any guarantee, if you are not lucky with a particular copy, then you are not lucky
