I had to buy urgently, because. on the past ST31500341AS tortured BSOD and Acronis showed a level of life of 0%. I transferred information in the size of 1.5TB for more than a day with periodic popping of blue. I thought - maybe the old screw is a brake, but then how to explain the removal of Windows. Old sizes of 17GB through the unlocker in 8 hours . The blue screens did not stop, but Acronis shows 100% and this is somehow calm.

One and a half to two years of using several dozen disks did not reveal any problems. Installed on workstations as system and local raid arrays. For some reason, fresh drives are noisier than those bought six months ago.

Has pros: fast delivery, well packaged, the rest can be said in a couple of years Some cons: sooooo noisy, the old one of the same company, which had plowed for more than 10 years, also made noise before death

From the first day of installation, a wild rattle that hits the ears. In addition to this, sagging in the game. I still couldn’t determine exactly the fault of this disk in this, but this did not happen on ssd with more demanding games (I understand that Hdd is not recommended for installing games, but anyway, the fact remains). Also, when transferring a large file, the speed jumped from 10 to 160MB (jumps were frequent and the transfer took a long time). I can not recommend this product for…

This model clearly has a factory problem. Basically, everyone has a rattle and figs what you write down because of the low speed. And it's exactly the same for me. In such cases, the main thing is in which store you purchase this disc. Try to buy in trusted stores with good service so that you can quickly and efficiently make a return. I bought in CITILINKI which I considered a good online store. When he brought the disk back for return, the receiver found a small noticeable dent on the corner

Some pros: First of all, the price and volume. I ordered the first such disk together with other components from Germany, and when it had 200 GB of free space left (out of ~ 1800), the recording speed was at the level of 1.5-2 Mb / s. I don't know about reading. I decided to take a second disc, and it so happened that the choice fell on the same model. Cons below: The old disk is quite noisy even though they are both half full. Well, the strongest drawback is a drop in speed by 100 times. Well,

For 5 years I used 2 such hard drives. The first served for 3 years and died, starting to slow down terribly, but managed to pull out the data. The second disc died after 2 years and died just disgusting. With the disk connected, the system from the M2 disk did not boot. I will try to unload data through the docking station. There were no critical smart errors either in the first or in the second case. In summary: Tired. I will move on to competitors.

My other Barracuda served for seven years, then broken sectors appeared. Then the Winchester died! I was left without a database of songs. I bought this hard drive. I am slowly rebuilding everything. I hope that this Barracuda will last me more than 7 years as well. In terms of popularity, this model is in third place, but the first two are much more expensive .

I turned off the parking, put it in the box and connected it to the router, there were no problems with the disk. For the sake of interest, I looked smart in half a year - everything is fine. Excellent hard for file cleaning.

After the disk is 1/3 full (or active recording on it), problems begin (due to the SMR feature). I do not advise using it either in raid or for torrents. I don't recommend buying at all.

I took it as a file storage, didn’t plan to use it as a disk for the system or a game medium, so I don’t know how it works in these scenarios. During installation, there were dances with a tambourine, the disk did not start, it turned out that the problem was in one of the power cables of my system unit, I just plugged it into another and everything started up. I will ate the information as I use it, if there are failures in the work.

Has pros: Everything is working. Thank God they didn't get killed on delivery! Its cons: Terribly packaged! How can a hard drive be packed in two postal packages!

I took a disk for a desktop, it has been working for 4 years without any complaints. I am satisfied with the disc, I recommend to buy.

Pros: Packed well, bubble wrap, anti-static package whole, the disc is new. Has some cons: When installed in a PC, it emits loud high-frequency sounds and gets very hot, while the computer is not detected. I tried to put on different PCs the result is a defective disk.

There used to be Western digital and Seagate, other volumes, but this one is the loudest. Periodically, it emits some other short squeak.
