💾 Seagate 2TB BarraCuda SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 2.5-Inch 7mm Internal Hard Drive Review

Compared to the WD Black 7200 750gb, it is very noisy. I didn’t even notice how WD starts before, but this one is straight with a rattle. I am attaching photos of the surface of the NEW disk. I don't think he will live long. : After 9 months - the flight is normal. I use constantly. Already used to such a loud start. Didn't run any more tests.

Noticed sagging in the first week. Opened smart and ofigel, 2022 reassigned sectors. I did not have time to save the data, I pounded. Took over the hill, no guarantee. I did not expect this, that the screw would completely die immediately. It seems that the segate without rejection is allowed to sell the goods for sale, so that the buyers would test it.

The first time I turned it on on a freshly printed computer (Intel® NUC), the system did not start. CheckDisk'om revealed a bunch of errors

I bought it in Yulmart with a damaged package for 1900r cheaper, put it into a laptop, it turned out that it worked for 2 hours and it had 2 turns on, apparently Yulmart checked .

got into the laptop without problems, everything works. time will tell further. speed - all the same, it's 5400. as a pair of storage in a pair of an already installed 512GB SSD - it will do.

in general, SMR is evil and a dead end branch of evolution. So stupid and hung on the banal viewing of photos, the last time I had the 486th computer. And given that cheap SSDs have appeared, the niche of 2.5" hard drives is rapidly narrowing.

Pros below: Works very quietly and quickly. Didn't find any deficiencies. Cons below: He worked from 02/22/2022 to 07/31/2022, after which he simply died.

The packaging of the parcel was terrible, I would not be surprised if it fell into disrepair during transportation, it literally flew around the box. I didn’t even read the reviews when I bought it, I bought a Seagate out of old memory and didn’t expect this to happen from the box, although in the reviews many write that they have the same problem

I ordered goods for the fourth curling iron, the first hard drive got buggy, there are no such problems with the second one. It remains to be hoped - how lucky. The console works fine, I do not hear any noise. Downloads occur in exactly the same way when I was on 500GB to-shiba. There are no differences. Ideal for ps4 2tb. 80 games fit, 200GB left.

I read the reviews for this hard here, and was quite surprised. Perhaps I was just lucky, but I have not observed any of the described problems for more than a year and a half of operation. During operation, it is almost inaudible, the temperature never reached + 50C, incl. and long-term transfer of large data volumes. I have not done surface diagnostics yet, yes. Of course, it all depends on the use case. Initially, this hard drive was bought to expand the disk space in the ASUS Zenbook UX310…

When copying 100GB to 30% of the process has already begun - the speed dropped from 130mbs to 80mbs. Then up to 40mbs. And then even up to 1-2 mbs. This is nonsense, of course, why put such a low-quality product into powerful workstations. The hard drive is STRONGLY heating up, cracking with some strange sounds, and the recording speed of 1-2 mbs (albeit jumping) makes it clear that it is dangerous to store information on such a hard drive. In general, this is to immediately sign an infe…

Before that there was a WD Black WD7500BPKX, 750GB. It stood as a second drive in the MacBook Pro 15 2022 mid (not retina) instead of a DVD drive. There was no longer enough space, I began to look closely at the disks > 2TB. Unfortunately, there is basically nothing to choose from, disks of this size and up to 10mm high (for laptops) are produced only by Seagate. I would gladly take WD, but they have disks as high as 15mm, they won’t fit into laptops :( As a result, I settled on ST2022LM015 as…

Accordingly, if we take into account the already published reviews, then the main problem with this hard drive is not its noise characteristics (22-24 decibels are not so terrible). But overheating inside the body of a real decent laptop makes using this disk only as an external storage for archive files, which contradicts its declared characteristics and common sense. After low-level formatting, no new erroneous clusters appeared. As a result, the "health" indicator of the disk has grown to…

This HDD is designed to be used as a storage of information, and not to install a system on it, as many do for some reason. The main advantage of this HDD is high cache hit and high recording density, I use 4 of these in my home NAS in the Thermaltake Max 2504 case. Hard drives perform well both individually (NTFS file system) and together (if everything is placed in ZFS). By the way, I did not observe any problems with overheating, although one such HDD was used for 2 months as a second laptop

I bought it in May 2022, used it as a portable drive (in the case) - backups, photos, videos, etc. The disk lived for a little over a year, after which it first started connecting every other time, and then stopped altogether. SMART is not readable, the disk is seen as not initialized with a volume of 134217Tb. It gives an error when trying to initialize. The partition table is not restored. When trying to recover data with various software, the computer goes into BSoD after 20%. I hesitate…

When I ordered, I thought the reviews were garbage, but no. Pay attention to the serial numbers match on the photo of the disk itself and in the programs. I tried to check a little, I did not check further, and so everything is clear. In general, think for yourself, decide for yourself. I warned everyone Different pros: I didn’t see it, except that it looks beautiful and fast delivery Its cons: Some of the sectors are not very, I hope that it does not fall quickly.
