Revainrating 2 out of 5

I'm a little disappointed, not a good buy.

I took two, series side by side. One put it in the computer, filled in the files (about 40 GB), worked for a year (did not write anything), tried to pick up the files in a year - a reading error. Walked DD - stumbles on sectors, bad sectors do not disappear . walked DD with the flag oflag = direct, bad sectors began to disappear and already at the very end of the disk it hung. I connect it, it seems to start by the sound, everything is ok (it spins, the head walks, by the sound, it’s normal), but it’s not detected . only with the PC3000 it was possible to start (DRD / DSC flags light up, as soon as the disk tried to work further, the disk went into eternal BUSY) Walked By recording over space in PIO mode, all the "bads" disappeared, but with a cold start it took a long time to be determined, BUSY hangs for 15 seconds, then it seems to work. The second disc worked for less than six months, everything is fine with it. P. P.S made two tests in a row for reading a failed disk, the picture is strange, the results seem to be different disks

Pros
  • price, one plate, silence, size, buffer 128
Cons
  • heats up, errors occur early (not reliable).
