Everything was chic for almost a year and a half, then it became envy when copying, suspending the entire system, displaced sectors appeared. The most unpleasant thing is that Seagate does not have service centers in 2022. The company's website nicely confirms your eligibility for a replacement or refund and offers to ship the product to an address in the states. When choosing a screw, first of all find out the availability of service centers in your city or at least in 2022.

Pros below: During the entire period of use there were no problems. Everything is working. Nice features: beautiful appearance in mac design, long USB cable, convenient backup program (I don't use it myself). Adequate data transfer rate. You should not compare with the speeds of internal hard drives: SATA here, USB here. Has cons: The plastic case creaks slightly when pressed. The manufacturer did not provide rubber pads on the stand, so all vibration and noise is transmitted to the table. Sin

Used as storage in conjunction with a router (wl500w). Under heavy load, the network overheats and rises. As a result, the router hangs (swap) and the home network drops. (Added later) Now I have two of these (for 1.0 and 1.5Tb). They work 24/7. Added airflow - stable operation for more than a month. Has pros: Beautiful. I can not say that it is very quiet, but it does not bother. Its cons: It gets hot and overheats. If you are going to use it frequently (24/7), airflow is required.

This model was offered under warranty instead of a 1.5 TB hard drive from the same manufacturer that failed after 3 weeks. Without checking the performance in the store, I could not connect it to the computer at home. The hard drive was not defined as an external drive. Took it to a service center. Without saying a word they gave another one just like it. Worked for 2 weeks. Began to click and crack. I'll take it and I won't contact Seagate anymore. Three screws and all with the same flaw! Per
