Review on πŸ’½ Seagate ST500LT012 500GB 2.5" Internal Hard Drive - Momentus Thin by Jongil Baek ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

This disk has been with me for about 3.5 or 4 years - it was bought to replace my old laptop, in which the motherboard died about a year later. After that, an external box was bought, into which this screw migrated. It has been like this until today. In my HP350 G2, my native hitachi began to bend, so it was decided to put a bunch of SSD under the system and a new HDD for storage, Hyper X Savage was eventually installed as the first one, but as an HDD, I planned to install WD Black on a terabyte, but I decided to check the state of this Seagate - I drove it in Victoria - not a single bad block, not a single red or yellow sector - no errors! And this is taking into account that it was operated in extremely unfavorable conditions. As a result, with a calm soul, I put it in HP in place of the hitachi - until I score, I will not change (and then I will apparently make it external again lol). Yes, it can be called somewhat slow - a low rotation speed and a small buffer affect it, but no lags or artifacts were noticed. Summing up all of the above - an excellent budget hard!

Pros
  • Cheap, quiet, reasonably reliable
Cons
  • If you do not take into account the price, then this is a low rotation speed and a small amount of buffer
