Unsuccessful purchase, I am disappointed.

32mb cache and 7200 rpm lured me in.)))))
I installed it in the Xbox 360 and noticed delays in games, such as minor jerks and twitches when actively driving in GTA 4 and NFS Rivals. Previously, it was a hard drive from Toshiba with a 5400 processor and about 16MB of cache, and this was not. In general, it is clearly unsuitable for gaming, hence WD Black was required. I will no longer use the Seagate.

Pros

a small stature and respectable attributes A HDTunePro test 144.1 Mb/s is the maximum read speed. 115.7 Mb/s is the average reading speed. 71.7 Mb/s is the minimum read speed. Access Time: 16.1 ms

Cons
