What did I pay for? This product is a failure.

Of 12 pcs. Identical workstations equipped with these disks have lost 8 disks in a year and a half of office operation. That's horrible. Naturally, the discs flew at the most inopportune moments. Beware of these discs.

I have been using an excellent disk for about 5-6 years. I have no complaints about work, I don’t know about the rest, like it or not, you want to humiliate this disk, but I will never switch from disks from this company.

Pros
  • Fast, not noisy, reliable, excellent performance, easy to use, perfect for the OS.
Cons
  • With poor contact SATA (Power) and SATA (Data) can click and sometimes slow down the system so that a blue screen pops up.

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

After 4 years: reading large files: 204, writing 195. I did not check further, without the need. There are no bad sectors. Worked 24 454 hours. (102022202222 22:30 Hong Kong time) 1194 inclusions.

Pros
  • Price. I bought it for 2500, because I urgently needed a disk, analogues were in the same store from three and a half thousand. Has worked for 24,400 hours and has not died. See comment. Works stably with a power supply of 10v, instead of 12. (drawdown of a weak power supply)
Cons
  • After 3 years, the contacts on the reverse side of the board and the contacts with the engine were oxidized. I had to clean it with an eraser. He was capricious with power, he did not like all the connectors. On one works, on the other periodically "falls off". I don't know what you might not like in such a disc?

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

I am not an expert to understand the nuances of the performance of this device, but now (2022) I decided to buy a couple more terabytes. I loaded this disk for comparison and . 7200 rpm with a buffer of 64 meters and an access time of 8.5ms - this is very cool for disks of 2022. Screenshot of one of them:

Pros
  • Two disks have been working since 2022. They didn't cause any problems. They survived several moves, worked in a raid, they keep the usual information: photos, music, videos, programs, games.
Cons
  • No.

I don’t know about the rest of the people who write bad reviews about this model, maybe another batch is the time of manufacture. But I will distinguish myself in order to strengthen the dignity that I wrote above, I will attach a photo of the "crystal disk". And it is also used together with WD Black 500Gb, both are blown by a 12cm fan, for all the time I usecommputers, I always install a fan in front of hard drives, not one has failed yet. There was a practice I bought a WD Blue 500Gb, there

Pros
  • Reliability, speed, durability (mine is 5-6 years old), for its price segment.
Cons
  • For all its long service life, there are no shortcomings.

Unsatisfactory, upset with this product.

Worked 368 days. Only worked about 9000 hours. All the time terribly dinged - he parked his heads. But we must pay tribute - quiet (when the head does not park). Fast - certainly notcomparable with SSD, but how will the capacity for data go. Gradually filled up almost to the end and I thought about increasing the disk space. He, apparently sensing this, rang terribly the day before yesterday and this ringing did not stop - I was frightened, rebooted thecomputer, ran tests that immediately

Pros
  • not expensive
Cons
  • Reliability first. And heads frighteningly ringing parks.

I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

So many negative reviews that it bombed me! ) Hard was used mockingly: - the system unit wascomnstantly moving, -the hard itself was often pulled out, moved around the area and turned on in thecomputers of all relatives and friends, so that later itcomuld return back to its native system unit. - the tie-in iscomnstantly clogged and actively moves and deletes 500 gigs of information (half of the whole hard! ), -from the spring of 2022 to May 2022, the system manager received acomuntless…

Pros
  • From August 2022 to (what right now? ) 12/14/2022 no problems. Bought then for 3 thousand.
Cons
  • 1 terabyte is not enough

Not a bad purchase, worth the money.

Here is my video review from the moment of unpacking to the moment of full installation of the operating system on the PC. ? v=JAeddlfnBP8 What can be said about the representative of the hard drive line - ST1000DM003, it is one of the top solutions in PC assemblies, the volume of 1TB is sufficient for many users, and given the price at which it is sold, it is a goodcommpetitor for similar products from othercommpanies. In my case, the disk was installed with CC45 firmware. Therefore, just in

Pros
  • Pretty quiet and fast. Decent model for the price and quality.
Cons
  • On some models, you need to change the firmware to the latest CC4H

I like it, thank you for the quality product.

I bought a couple in the store (different PNs came across: 9YN162-306 and 9YN162-500, FW: CC4H and CC4B, respectively). Included in the storage system. Wound up, formatted. I started to rejoice. Yep, not for long. After turning off the storage system and then turning it on - one did not start. Didn't unroll. The second continued to work. I took it to the store - the deceased was changed under warranty without problems. But lost time. And it is not known how much more they will work . I hope…

Pros
  • small price, big buffer
Cons
  • low reliability

Suitable for file storage, if there is nothing valuable to store there. Even now it works for me. But the system can no longer be put on it, since the first sectors have been killed. Unfortunately, I did not have time to exchange it under warranty, it was necessary to deal with this issue earlier. And since he has a guarantee like 3 years, as he began to crumble, I advise you to immediately contact there. See the official website for warranty information.

Pros
  • Nimble
Cons
  • Bad blocks quickly appeared, signs began to show after 1.5 years Now, after 3 years, SMART looks absolutely terrible

Upset and disappointed, the product is very bad!

The drive was purchased as part of external storage in 2022. All this time, it stood in the corner and was used to periodically save backups of the system and store long-term information such as photographs. For the last half a year, the drive has been constantly connected to a desktop PC and almost never turned off. statistics: working time: 1897 days, 13 hours 4 days left Starts/stops: 330 the disk is rapidly crumbling, loses initialization, the read speed is near zero. I believe that…

Pros
  • There are no special
Cons
  • Unreliable. Died suddenly

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

It is absolutely inaudible during operation. It worked perfectly for 8 years, at the 9th year the service began to turn off in games and reboot, as a result, a lag of 15-30 seconds, it happened in games that weigh more than 60 GB, like GTA 5 and the Witcher 3. After trying to fix it, I worked for another month and also began to turn off and reboot when opening the device manager and entering folders with photos. I think that the hard drive has simply become obsolete.

Pros
  • Quiet, cool, durable, low power consumption.
Cons
  • Worked for 9 years, I don't think they exist.

The price/quality ratio is great, I will buy again.

I chose this miracle but I wanted 2022DM003 But it turned out to have 3 disks with a volume of 667GB and 6 reading heads, that is, the temperature and durability are questionable for 15000DM003 - 2 DISKS and 4 heads, and I chose this 1000DM003 1 disk and 2 heads, this obliges me to long-term work less mechanics speed 205 mb/s I confirm with a very large silence the parking of the heads is present there are clicks fir noticeable but the software turns it off I chose from a lot but 205 meg more…

Pros
  • Slim body, cool, VERY quiet just tin 1 932 GB hard drive and 2 read heads, 24 month warranty
Cons
  • China production from 07/2022 firmware CC4B (I understand the latest firmware cannot be changed because it is indicated on the case and the 24-month warranty flies)

Expectations were not met, average quality.

I made the purchase in January of 2022 for the year 2022. for the past 2 years and 10 months, it has been utilized for file cleaning and torrents. in which the first year is spent working virtually nonstop. already over 15,000 hours of operation, and with good smart. read test results: warnings: 2 (slow sectors), speed: according to the timetable, from 233 at the beginning to 99 MB/s at the end in the casing, the basket with ssd and hdd is blown by a fan, the temperature is less than 30 degrees

Pros
  • fast quite reliable cheap
Cons
  • one model, but the filling is different; I got lucky with the revision, which is 9YN162; the firmware version is CC4H.

I have had this disc for a long time. I bought it in 2022, I don't remember. "Disabled" parking permanent software Hard Disk Sentinel. It has been working in this mode for a long time, for several years. The program starts with Windows and disables the "green" saving mode. No problem. Changed 2 computers. The SMART data is more than telling. It used to be under Windows, about 4 years ago, and now it's like a file cleaner for everything. Actively used all the time, torrents are not around the…

Pros
  • Reliability, speed of writing/reading data after many years of operation, silent reading/writing of data, low temperature during active reading/writing of data.
Cons
  • The disk simply works properly for a very long time, there are no shortcomings.

Bought 4 pieces in RAID0. (Integrated chipset controller in X79) The array gives out 550MB \ s both for reading and writing (serial). And both in ATTO and in CrystalDisk Mark. Satisfied with the result. Has pros: Thin cold fast. 64MB cache allows you to get an additional speed boost through the use of write-back cache and other technologies. Has some cons: 1 out of 4 discs vibrates quite strongly. The vibration itself doesn't bother me, it's more about its nature and possible consequences.

In general, a good model, a good choice for an average computer. The disk really at short idle stops. After that, when you try to access the disk, it turns on as if it is about to take off (as a side effect, the computer is waiting at this time). I failed to ate the firmware, because. there is no ate for my disk. Here is what the utility from the developer shows: Model: ST1000DM003-1CH162, Serial: S1DFV6CE, Firmware: CC49. Therefore, when buying, if possible, you need to take into account…

Pros
  • Thin (and light), no noise, good speed.
Cons
  • With a short idle time, it stops. For my series of firmware ates that solve this problem, it did not turn out.
