Review on Seagate 1TB Laptop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 2.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive (ST1000LM035) - Open Box by Hongseok Bak ᠌

I bought it in a laptop as a second disk (after SSD) for file cleaning. In my area, the Internet is slow, any streaming is difficult, so it is more convenient to download content in advance. For these purposes (low price and noise, decent volume) it fits very well. The lack of write speed is compensated by the OS caching in RAM, similar to re-reading, so I don’t see the point in a hybrid drive for file cleaning. Among the competing manufacturers there are no models with adequate characteristics (price, thickness, cache size and speed characteristics). WD and other modern models offer hybrid drives for much higher prices (already comparable to SSDs) or models with 5-year-old specifications, maybe this is logical, because. in a couple of years, 1Tb SSD will not cost so much and hdd will sink into oblivion, but for today it is a good option.
