Review on Seagate Barracuda 500GB ST500DM002 SATA 3.5 Internal Hard Drive - 7200 RPM by Hayden Iskandar ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything in the product suited me, the price is generally perfect.

There are five disks like this one in the computer, along with another barracuda-shaped disk that costs 750. Taking into consideration the fact that the disks have been in my computer for the past four years and do not work for only eight hours per day, each of the disks from a different year of production, ranging from 2022 to 2022, has already completed a respectable number of hours of operation. In all of the time that I personally used it, including recording, uploading, and information transfer, there was not a single broken sector that appeared, nor was there a single error. In general, the most problematic aspect of the smart was the amount of time it took to operate. Around this time last year, one of the disks started to make rattling noises, but there was no discernible change in the way it performed its function. The speed of operation is sufficient, and the discs do not significantly slow down the vehicle; however, it is not high-speed like the Velociraptor. Sufficient to build a house. The one and only thing that had me scratching my head was the relatively high temperature of the disks while they were operating; the temperature of each disk is typically around 44 degrees on average. Generally speaking, these are the discs of which you can be certain that they will not crumble at the worst possible time.

Pros
  • Durability, a reasonable speed considering the price, and noise level (works quietly)
Cons
  • Heat
