A good product at a good price, I advise you to try it.

The black box's contents are identified by my smartctl as ST4000LM024-2AN17V. (If my review malfunctions, I'll eat it:)

2022-12: After the warranty had been out for two years, I finally opened the black box. Without it, the load's temperature dropped from 50 to 40 degrees, making the lightbulb even brighter. I had to wrap the black box in electrical tape several times. As there haven't been any broken blocks or files discovered, the speed hasn't decreased.

2 2022-07: It abruptly came to an end in less than a day after two and a half years, leaving no time to respond or copy files.

Pros

It completes the duty, no serious issues were discovered after half a year of use, no blocks have been broken or reallocated, and the speed is adequate (110 megabytes per second for sequential reading).

Cons

It can reach temperatures of up to 50 degrees while under heavy strain, indicating that being enclosed in a black box has little to no impact on temperature (however, 50 degrees seems to be within the declared norm). He had to cover the light bulb when he moonlights at night with a blue flashing flashlight. It is accurate to say that SMR occasionally experiences recording speed degradation in the reviews that surround it.
