Review on Seagate ST1000DM003 Internal Desktop HDD - High-Quality Hard Drive for Reliable Performance by Makoto Oonishi ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall good, but I expected more, there are disadvantages.

Before, there was a Barracuda 72002022 with 750 gigabytes of storage space. If anyone knows, it's the one with the defective piece of firmware. Hence, after the flash, he honestly worked for about seven years before passing away suddenly, which was unfortunate but understandable under the circumstances. I decided to replace him with the model that was advised, and I have high hopes for our continued working relationship. After a few of weeks have passed. I went out and purchased an additional disk that was identical to the first one, and then I installed it on a different computer. After the performance evaluation, I felt a great deal of disappointment. The graph of the speed is a saw. In total, I tallied ten (TEN!) different instances of failure. Two of them are located right at the beginning of the disk, extremely close to zero; the other eight are scattered throughout the range of 100–150 Mb/s. The following is what HDTune distributes: 197, 154, and 0.3 megabits per second (Maximum, average, least). A few more laps were completed. Every time you look at the chart, the number of dips and where they are located will be different. The following values are as follows: 191, 1452022 Mb/s. The results of this test showed that there were a total of five depressions, the two largest of which were located in the center of the disc as opposed to the beginning of the disc as seen in the first test. You have reached the conclusion that you must connect with hard disks. Anything that is being sold right now is a complete and total loss of money. The previous steadiness and dependability are no longer present. What exactly is the point of the discussion if disks purchased from the same company during the same month exhibit such a wide range of varying qualities? Even though it's a bit of an investment, I'll go ahead and purchase an SSD because I don't see any other alternatives.

Pros
  • I was able to acquire a Seagate ST1000DM010 from this location. Quite a respectable screw. There were found to be no differences from the prior series. Works in a hushed manner. It is completely inaudible; there is no crackling and no knocking at all. The results of the benchmark HDTunePro 5.5 were as follows: 199, 167, and 103 Mb/s. In accordance with this, here are the fastest, slowest, and average reading speeds. The program is absolutely seamless and there are no breaks in it. SATA2 is the interface that is used to connect the drive. Currently, the temperature is hovering around 30 degrees.
Cons
  • Please refer to the remarks regarding the purchase of a second disc of the same sort!
