Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor quality, not suitable for use.

Bought with a laptop based on Core i3 3110m. It heats up to 50 degrees at idle and up to 65 at load. A little less than the processor, but for the processor it's normal. Flying 13 thousand hours. the last time when copying, the laptop hung and the MBR was damaged, the OS did not start. Somehow, with dancing with a tambourine, I restored it with the help of software, somehow loaded the OS, somehow launched a checkdisk with a full check. After 2 (!) days, disk C was scanned, about 90 more bad sectors were found. I reinstalled Windows, because because of the bad sectors, it didn’t want to run anything and the folders didn’t open, formatting the c drive again. After installation, I made a checkdisk again - and again broken sectors. But while Windows is working, most likely the disk will go to the trash in the near future. For comparison, Seagate ST3160811 AS has been working on a computer for 11 years, 51 thousand hours of flying time, 24 bad sectors, but it works.

Pros
  • Not
Cons
  • Overheating, Bad-s, unstable operation

Its pros: Normal reliable stable HDD Its cons: Didn't find it. In the first review it is written that it is heated. This problem appears when there are bad sectors.
