Pros
- A regular disk, suitable for archival data storage.
Cons
- SMR recording technology, which means that with large amounts of recorded data, you will have brakes and the write speed will drop up to 40MB / s
Pros
- Fast, very quiet, low vibration, high volume.
Cons
- 1. Doesn't know how to brew coffee. 2. High-frequency HDD squeak (~17.5 kHz) as, in fact, in many other HDDs (it is definitely present in my WD RE 4 TB /~19 kHz/ and Hitachi 500 GB /~18 kHz/, which I had no idea about before, until I built the noise spectrum). But in all the cases listed above, this squeak is audible if you bring your ear close to the device. From a closed case, this frequency practically does not penetrate outside (this sound is not distinguishable already at 0.7 m directly in front of hdd, and even more so with a closed system unit). 3. Not cheap, 15 k. Rub /10202222/.
Pros
- Quiet
Cons
- Unreliable
Pros
- 1) Quiet, barely rustling when recording, and it’s not audible at all, despite the fact that it is essentially in a server basket that goes outside installed in the desktop instead of three 5.25" slots. 2) Does not vibrate, the body does not tremble, the basket does not tremble and it does not tremble. 3) The coldest HDD that is installed in the desktop, at a starting temperature after loading the operating system at 28 ° C, with moderate work, it warms up to 33 ° C, and drops to 32 ° C without work, but here you need to consider that the server basket has cooling, and it is located just opposite the fan. 4) Since it has not yet broken down after 7499 hours of operation, I will now conditionally consider it relatively reliable, but this is not accurate. Nowadays, there are no reliable HDDs, there are only those that have not yet broken down and have already broken down. 5) It has not yet started to fail or require to clean the contacts, as it was with that old series of green WD 2TB. 6) Of course, the main and only advantage is the low price for the amount of memory compared to SSD.
Cons
- 1) Low and unstable speed of work, therefore tests on reviews of new devices are irrelevant, as well as mine. 2) In continuation of the previous paragraph, not very multitasking. It can hang even while showing folders, for example, if you give it various tasks in parallel, such as checking torrents. 3) If it eventually breaks, it will be bad, for all HDDs, the main drawback is durability.
Pros
- Cost, reliability.
Cons
- No
