Renewed Seagate BarraCuda 5TB SATA 6Gb/s Internal Hard Drive - 2.5-Inch, 15mm (ST5000LM000) with 128MB Cache Review

The work of technical support is at zero! From the beginning, they sent me to the other end of the city to send the goods through the receiving point, and they sent me to the receiving point, saying that they did not accept the goods of this supplier. Then spent a week trying to figure out how to send the item back. Some "specialists" of technical support say send it as it is written on the website, others do not send it in any case, wait, we will check with the supplier how to send it. It's

I bought 4 disks, the next day 2 were strewn with errors in SMART. One day later began to fall off the system. Never seen such a thrash before.

The benefits of it include: 1. Storage space. It now holds the title of being the most capacious 2.5" HDD available on the market. 2. An absence of both noise and vibration. Especially considering its magnitude and speed (5,526 revolutions per minute). 3. Temperature. Even on an open stand, where there is only natural convection and no forced airflow, the screw is always 1-2 degrees Celsius colder than its other 2.5" brethren. And this is despite the fact that it moves quickly and has a lot of…

Has some pros: 1. Capacity. Today it is the most capacious 2.5" HDD on the market. 2. Low noise and vibration. Especially given its size and speed (5526 rpm). 3. Temperature. Even on an open stand, with natural convection, without forced airflow, the screw is always 1-2°C colder than the other 2.5" brothers. And this is despite its speed and the number of plates. Cons: 1. Size. The attached photos show how (! ) it is thicker than a "normal" laptop screw. Accordingly, it will not fit everywhere.

Has some pros Handled copying a huge number of small files perfectly, while the flight is excellent. Its cons: Price. The same, but with a loss of warranty, you can pull it out of the USB box much cheaper.

I put it in my laptop. Took the lid off and it won't close. Hot. I had to buy a cooling pad. When formatting, get ready to dance with a tambourine. When trying to duplicate another disk on it, the volume fell to 561GB and this is eliminated only through installation in the beech compartment. Not a single adapter saw the entire volume. While satisfied. Different pros: Volume, price (you can pull it out of a portable external 5 terabyte 2.5" External HDD Seagate Backup Plus [STDR5000201] and the…

In fact, there are no alternatives in terms of capacity and size. Such discs have been in use for a long time, if not overheated and not dropped, they will serve for a long time. It may not fit under a laptop due to its size, but in a compact assembly, as a portable and for similar applications, that's it. With its pros. It works quite fast, for file cleaning behind the eyes, it does not get warm enough. Different cons: High height, may not fit in some compartments. The price is high.

Delivered 4 such screws in NAS in Raid5. (((After a year of dancing with a tambourine, I realized that SMR and RAID are incompatible things. It only works fine for a few minutes, then that's it. The brakes are wild. Backups are really not for such disks. They are only suitable for temporary recordings in small portions. In short, this like you buy a car, and it turns out that there is such a technology in the engine that you can’t drive 100 km in a row on it, you need to stop periodically so…

I strongly recommend against using these discs. The write buffer is enough for a maximum of 30GB, after which the speed drops to ZERO. absolutely not suitable for backups. for torrents - a big question, an attempt to download BDRip or 4k of a decent amount will simply clog up all the resources of the disk subsystem. the rating is not even zero, it is negative. I will try to return the wheels under warranty.

What the hell is the post above?! This is some nonsense! If you clone disks 600 gigabytes on it, then be kind Akronis create the second section, in the remained undivided part of the screw! He will not show the full volume of 1 terabyte, LEARN THE MATTER! I also have a Barracuda Pro in my computer, for 10 terabytes, there are only 9.09 terabytes, the number system, nevertheless.

I bought this for my new Tablo Quad Tuner. (It's a bit fat for him, but I can improvise) This hard drive has been in service for almost a year. no noise I have the maximum recording quality, no freezes and jumps. It stays cool. Works great in the environment I have it in.

I bought two of these. Both failed within three months in a static environment. When I looked at the purchase it said "updated" which I think is refurbished. So the original apparently failed, it got repaired, and it failed again - moreover, most likely for at least the second time. Buyer warning!

DO NOT BUY. These discs are a waste of money. Bought 4 in March 2020, less than 3 months have passed and 2 of them are already out of service. Total damage $600.00. I'll replace the other 2 before they fail and throw them in the trash. Read the other reviews, they all say the same thing.

The hard disk failed quickly within a few months. Even though the listing states a 1 year warranty, Revain sends a "Warranty Expired" message to your Seagate website. Industry-standard hard drive warranties are 1-year, 3-year, or 5-year. BAD DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND THIS SELLER WILL NOT COVER IT! NO BUY RECOMMENDATION!

OEM product. Do not buy. The disk didn't show up, I had to use disk manager to get the disk ready for use. Once the drive was connected and formatted, my entire system was stuck at a snail's pace. I only bought it to store Steam and games. It took half an hour to download a launcher just to start steaming from this one. I almost immediately reformatted the hard drive and sent it back. I'm still waiting for a return.

Data corruption and data loss problem next day after purchase. The hard drive also fails and accumulates from the system to reboot. However, this does not appear to be a drive error. Switched to ext4 file system instead of NTFS. I know from experience that Windows processes often require more effort and often require more power. So I'm waiting for a case with an external power supply instead of what I have now which is only USB powered. So I believe this drive may draw some power, so be sure to

I bought this drive to add to my HP SFF Workstation because I needed extra internal storage for backups but didn't need it for fast work. It wasn't a fast ride, but it worked. Well, about 1 year. I had a system that ran a deep virus scan on a drive using Norton. When I came back the system was frozen. The system wouldn't even boot (it wasn't a boot drive) with a 5TB Seagate drive attached. Unplugged and tried in an external USB dock. I turn it on, I hear the small USB device detect noise, but…

I needed the biggest 2.5" drive I could get/afford to put in a Tivo Bolt+ DVR. I decided to take a chance and buy this refurbished drive as it is cheaper than a new one. The drive arrived in great packaging and looks brand new. I installed it in a Tivo Bolt+ DVR and it works as expected. Now I have over 790 hours of storage for HD recordings. Note that this is a 15mm high drive, which is taller than most laptop drives, although 15mm is one of the common standard heights for 2.5" drives. Just…
