Review on 8TB Seagate Backup Plus Hub Desktop Hard Drive with Data Recovery Services by Jasmit Singh ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Quite good, but I expected more from it.

SeaTools for windows native tests, short generic and long generic hang, short drive self test passes. The test in the seagate manager is passing, there you can also set the parking time of the heads, downloaded through the site. The temperature is 51 C (half an hour of inactivity after use), in the room 24-25 C, it stands vertically on the table and there is nothing around. During operation, it makes a sound and there is a strong vibration every ~ 5 seconds, as if something stops and goes again, while the disk does not stop. When idle, the same garbage every ~ 20 seconds, sometimes annoying. Now in the load the temperature has risen to 53 C, thermal calibration is possible by vibration, but it’s so strong and with such a temperature, it’s strange. I looked at another external drive toshiba canvio ready 1tb 2.5", there are the same vibrations, with about the same time, but they are practically not felt. After reading the forums, I came to the conclusion that + - this may be the standard state for their drives, a way to remove this I didn’t find it, if anyone finds it, let me know. About + - someone is fine, someone will get into problems like mine. It is clear that both temperature and vibration will have a negative effect on the service life simply because it cannot be the normal mode of operation. I ran tests, everything is fine on the surface, the numbers of parking lots and other garbage do not grow much, the only thing where it doesn’t pass is the temperature of use (HDDScan, HD Tune Pro). At the moments of vibrations, the write speed drops by ~ 2 times (resources monitor win7). As a trifle, it was the second disk, the first one turned out to be defective, the indication was on, but it did not spin and the system did not see it. I want to say something about those. support, or rather the lack of it. Referring to Federal Law 242 (storage of personal information), they refuse those. consultations, although they can easily communicate with an impersonal user. SMART AIDA64. 01/С3 (160204912/160204912) change in +- from day to day. 04 (184), 07 (1506910), С0/С7 (2639/2715) is gradually increasing. I got the values ​​after writing 1.5 TB and ~ 4 hours of reading from it, NTFS system.

Pros
  • Large volume
Cons
  • heated Strong vibration/sounds Those. support in 2022 does not work
