Review on πŸ’Ύ Seagate BarraCuda 5TB Internal Hard Drive HDD – 2.5 Inch SATA 6 Gb/s 5400 RPM 128MB Cache - Ideal for Computer Desktop PC (ST5000LM000) by Chip Palmer

Revainrating 1 out of 5

2 drives, 100% failure within days.

2 of 2 panes are dead. The first trip lasted about 3 weeks. I wrote about 300GB of data on it as a test for infant mortality and everything was fine. A few days later I tried to write about 500 GB more and the hard drive died (it spun up but is no longer recognized by the system and other systems). Returned the original Revain and got a replacement which causes a BSOD almost immediately on a stable system. Remove hard drive, no more BSOD. The system works well with other drives and worked well with the first drive until it died. I would not recommend this disc to anyone. It's disappointing that it's almost impossible to buy a decent quality hard drive these days. I think next time I'll try a Western Digital drive, which I usually have even less luck with.
