Practical product, nothing to complain about.

As I said above, it has been working for me for the 3rd month without any complaints, an excellent hard drive, I solve the noise problem simply by raising the frequency of the fans (the sound from the air is better for me than the one from torsion of the plate), otherwise an excellent drive from an excellent manufacturer with good speed. The decision to buy or not is up to you! I would pay attention to the Black series.

Pros

I checked the model in advance, so everything I will write will be about this model. I think it's worth starting that this is a single-platter hard drive and yes, it is fast enough (and they say that the search is faster), although you can't tell by its size. The tests were carried out several times 5-6 and at different times, in general, within 2 months. It has been in use for 3 months. Read - 153.0 - 153.5, Write 134 - 145 (Standard settings in Crystail Disk Mark 5.1.2). Many scold for the high response time, but I do not feel discomfort, it's still a hard drive and not an SSD. By the way, I hung the disk in front of the case in front of the fan, which is blown in and the temperature does not exceed 29C.

Cons

The downsides would be noise and vibration. When I bought, I knew what I was getting into and, even before buying, I figured out how to hang it in the case, but it didn’t work out with one vibration, there is still an unusual rumble from the work itself, it’s not at all loud, but at night you can hear this, I don’t know this is a problem all hard drives or just a specific one, but still worth knowing
