If not for these dances involving a tambourine, the disc might be regarded as being of a very high quality. I have high hopes that the producer of these discs will make the necessary improvements in the near future. Some pros: Extremely quick, and it's possible that this drive is the quickest in its class among those produced by a variety of companies (this applies to ST2022DM001 and ST3000DM001 drives and not only to this model) Various disadvantages: Accidents occuring constantly. I have already purchased four ST2022DM001 disks, and all of them have the following issues: After subjecting the device to some load (read-write, for example a torrent), the performance dropped drastically to only 3-5 megabytes per second when using the factory firmware. This issue manifested itself regardless of the operating system, and it went away from the system entirely between 5 and 10 minutes later. The disk is also gone after a reboot, and the only time it can be seen is after the power has been turned off. I tried literally everything on a variety of controllers and in their various modes of operation; at one point, I even set a jumper to limit the bandwidth to 1.5 gigabits per second. The contacts of the head connector were given a cleaning. APM was not connected. despite updating the firmware to the most recent version available on the manufacturer's website, the situation has not improved; the only difference is that the disk is no longer stupid and moves more slowly, but it has not stopped falling off the system. If the disk is not very heavily loaded, it can work for a long time without failing, but you need to load it, and then it takes a half an hour as it falls off. This is an interesting feature that I noticed, and it only applies if the disk is not very heavily loaded. Even though it appears to be overheating, the smart thermostat only registers a temperature of 32 degrees. Today, I soldered all of the microcircuits and added heat-conducting rubber bands to the memory chip (they need a thicker rubber band) and to the drive-head controller (there is a need for rubber thin; the most interesting thing is that a heat sink is provided on it; however, for some reason they regretted the rubber band). It is my working hypothesis that the failures that occurred were directly attributable to the local overheating that occurred in this microcircuit. I have already put in two hours of testing, and everything appears to be operating normally at this point. There has been an elapse of time. The bugs have not been fixed, and the rubber bands are of no use. I solved the problem by fixing the disks in my computer. I initially believed that the issue was with the hardware, more specifically with the components becoming too hot, but it turned out that this was not the case. The issue lies within the disk's application. The firmware is not sufficient on its own. It is necessary to make some adjustments to the program on the disk using specialized equipment; once you do that, the disks will function perfectly.
