Review on Seagate SkyHawk Surveillance Hard Drive Data Storage by Michal Wojcik ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Well done, but I wont buy any more.

The disk was purchased in the system unit instead of ST1000DM003, which got its spindle with a hum. The sistemnik is on my desk, besides, in the corner of the room, 120 Hz of the engine are clearly audible. The purpose of the disk is long-term storage of personal files, so speed was not a priority, but silence and reliability (which an ordinary buyer can only judge by reviews) is the main thing. And of course, no SMR. After a long study of the Internet, it seemed to me that the ST1000VX005 is what you need. I did not go for an increase in volume, a terabyte is enough (there is a server and a bunch of other disks for backups and media trash), one pancake - potentially less noise and beats, quickly becomes ready. But, as it turned out, the copy that came across to me, lying on the table, is also buzzing. I even wanted to return it, but still I checked it, if I fix it in the system unit, there is no hum even against the background of fans rotating at a minimum speed. But the sediment remained, I wanted the ideal. Lena persuaded her to come down. In addition, my modification 2EZ102 is also less than the declared speed. A trifle, but also a minus. Therefore - only 4 stars.

Pros
  • Works
Cons
  • Did not quite live up to expectations, which were based on the promises of the manufacturer.
