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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor product, the quality is below average.

I ordered 2 IRU Office 511 computers for my office. The ST500DM002-1BD142 hard drive is installed in this model. I alerted him to the crackling of the hard drive during operation, I decided to check it with the MHDD program. In the SMART parameters 1, 7, 195, 240, 241, 241 are non-zero (moreover, the RAW values ​​are at least 6-7 digits). When scanning, no bad sectors were found, but during the scan, at the slightest vibration of the system unit case (if you move it, for example), sectors with a long response time appear, which indicates the fragility of the design of the HDD itself. Such a hard drive will not last long and soon performance problems will begin because of it. I'm already planning when to go to the warranty and change the wheels to more reliable ones.

Pros
  • I do not see.
Cons
  • Already a new disk has poor SMART parameters, strong crackling during operation.
