Review on ๐Ÿ” Seagate Skyhawk 4TB Surveillance Hard Drive with SATA 6Gb/s, 64MB Cache, 3.5-Inch Internal Disk - Frustration Free Packaging (ST4000VX007) by Adam Komosa แ Œ

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best thing I have ever used, highly recommended!

Conducted special research. On Ubuntu Linux 19.04, the HDD is in video surveillance mode. That is, the set of instructions "ATA Streaming Feature Set" is enabled by default and how to disable it is not written anywhere. In Windows 7, the mentioned set of instructions is disabled by default in the driver, and I donโ€™t even know how to enable it. Fortunately, Microsoft, unlike Linuxoids, went the most reliable way. As a result, when writing files in Linux, files are written quickly, but with errors (as it should be with the "ATA Streaming Feature Set" instruction set enabled). On Windows 7, files are written without errors because error checking is not disabled. Flight is normal. I donโ€™t know how it will be in the tenth Windows, but I hope that Microsoft will not let you down.

Pros
  • * High recording speed, because the HDD is optimized for use in video surveillance systems with simultaneous recording of multiple video data streams. * Low power consumption. * Low noise. * Low vibration. The HDD has special vibration sensors. * Low temperature.
Cons
  • * The impossibility of using the HDD in Linux OS for domestic purposes.
