I am just a regular bystander, but I have known the Seagates for a long time; their barracudas have been doing their jobs for a very significant number of years. Vneshnik took it for the sole purpose of storing and transferring working files because he knows they are heavy for me because I make videos. It goes without saying that in this day and age, you should have an SSD, but the price is too much for 2 terabytes, and volume is something that I value. The prior external HDD was connected through USB 2.0, thus the speed differential is still extremely noticeable at this point. Let's wait six months to a year to see how it manifests itself, but in general, nothing bad happens to hard disk drives (hdd) if they are not removed from the table.
