Review on Dell 5000C50064AD43E1 Seagate Desktop Inspiron by Ha Joon ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very pleased with this purchase, will recommend it to everyone!

Nonetheless, it has been creaking for the past two years despite the fact that no serious jambs have been found behind this disk. After 251 days of use, the hard drive was replaced because its disk surface attribute had deteriorated to between 54% and 74% mechanical health. The software reports that everything is fine, but users have reported slow startup times and file system recovery crashes after using the software from the manufacturer's website. I bought a brand new one, and I'm crossing my fingers that it will last me at least another two years. It's worth noting that after two years: The oldest disk in the system has been running for nearly five years, clocking in at 10516 hours (438 days) of operation, with no signs of dying. The second oldest disk in the system has been running for 6118 hours (or roughly half a year) with no signs of dying either. The disk subsystem is extremely power-sensitive, so I recommend a standard power supply for anyone who regularly ships their disks. Overall, a top-notch producer; I had no idea they'd be this high-quality, and I heartily endorse their products.

Pros
  • Fast, low-noise, and energy-efficient.
Cons
  • It's sturdy right out of the box; that doesn't mean it's particularly durable, but it should give buyers pause regarding data integrity and disk health.
