Review on Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD ST1000DM003 by Mateusz Sztrekier ᠌

There was an opportunity to choose from 4 copies. 2- China, 2- Thailand. One China had a noticeable high-frequency noise, Thailand all had a low-frequency rumble, and only one China did not make any noise. In appearance, it differed only from all in that the SATA connector was manufactured by FCI, others were foxconn and seem to be TE. Pros below: Fast, thin, not hot, single pancake. The firmware goes with a bang. And the price is cheaper than similar other manufacturers at the time of purchase. Its cons: There are no new firmwares for Chinese models with CC4D firmware yet, probably because of the already successful previous one.
