Review on Seagate 6TB 7200 RPM HDD by Stanislaw Dwojak ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Some kind of defective product, I definitely wont buy it anymore.

I bought it, brought it, installed it, turned on the computer, let's copy everything on it. While waiting for copying "enjoyed" crackling and squeaking. Fortunately, I read the comments and knew what I was dealing with. I flashed it to the latest version of SN05. What changed: The level of crackling when reading and writing random 4k blocks has become quieter by 25%. Those. crackle frankly annoying. the system unit stands on a table at 30 cm. When copying 100 GB, it warmed up to 40 degrees (there is a 120 mm fan in front of it). Long chose between this and WD GOLD 4T. Both are good, both crack a little, but there is more memory and cache. I chose this one, because. I saw that the crack is being treated with firmware + I myself have another Seagate ST1000VX000 for 4.5 years already and there were no problems with it. I'll try to return it to the store and if they accept it, take the WD GOLD 4T. . A day later, the value of "Positioning Errors" fell from 100 to 68. 2. After a month or a little more - dies. When watching movies ~ 20 minutes - cuts off and ceases to be visible. Only a reboot helps, the computer freezes very much.

Pros
  • + Price + Read/write speed + 5 year warranty
Cons
  • - Loud crackling - There is a slight vibration when copying. (more details in the comments).
