Good product at a good price, I recommend to try it.

He was the owner of two such discs: 2022 and 2022 of release. The newer one died after a month of use, and was replaced by a Seagate Desktop with similar specifications. The other one works great and surpasses the new Seagate in all respects (especially noise). Unfortunately, a huge percentage of defects is a problem for all HDD manufacturers today, so I put an optimistic four. The drive is very good as a fast and quiet data storage in addition to a bootable SSD.

Pros
  • Quieter than most modern hard drives. Excellent sequential write / read speed (in the case of my copy - 180 and 160 MB / s, respectively).
Cons
  • Vibrates quite a lot. On some modern z170 boards, it is not possible to switch to IDE emulation mode to set up its "brains". Marriage comes up.
