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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Second-rate goods, I wont buy any more.

I made a hard drive diagnostic in the Victoria HDD application. At first everything was fine. The hard drive was not very fast anyway, but so far it was fine for me, there was enough speed. But then he began to slow down a lot, everything began to work terribly slowly. I decided to check again in Victoria HDD, it turned out that bad sectors appeared. There were more and more of them, and they appeared faster and faster. As a result, the hard drive died, having lived a few days less before it would have gone 3 months from the moment it was first started. It was no longer possible to save him. Bad sectors are scattered throughout the hard drive, there are a lot of them. I highly do not recommend buying any hard drives from Seagate, as they do not know how to make them. They have terrible quality and a huge number of marriages compared to other firms that produce hard drives, which is why in America they even want to sue Seagate. I opted for a WD Black 500gb hard drive, a good hard drive. Wd and its subsidiary Hitachi produce good, high-quality hard drives, they do not break down as often and quickly as Seagate does, that is, they have less marriage. But again, not a single company is immune from marriage, just one company makes its product in good faith, better than another. In any case, the marriage can be exchanged under a guarantee, if this is of course possible. I don’t know about Toshiba, but there are also dubious models there. Now, in principle, I do not want to buy any hard drives from other companies, except for Wd and Hitachi. Among the companies producing ssd (the so-called solid state drives, much more advanced than hdd (hard drives)), I can name Kingston and Samsung as good ones. Also, of course, you should not buy cheap hard drives, especially used ones and without a guarantee, especially from this company. It's better to overpay a little and buy a good hard drive, and regret your nerves, and those little money that is now given away for nothing.

Pros
  • Quiet, thin, doesn't get hot.
Cons
  • Slow. Died after 3 months.
