Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD ST1000DM003 Review

For 8 years of work from this disk there were no troubles yet. Now I wouldn't buy one.Compared to PCI-e SSD is very slow, especially for the OS. But for leisurely work with medium-sized data arrays (processing and storage with regular backups! ) It is still quite good. It should also be noted that earlier Seagate paid more attention to the quality of its drives. Now they are not particularly unreliable. The statistics are here:

After four years, the score for reading large files is 204, and the score for writing is 195. I did not investigate any more because it was not necessary. There are no problematic areas or regions. labored nonstop for 244 hours. 1194 items were included (the current time is 22:30 in Hong Kong).

Although I am not an expert in this field, I have now (2022) made the decision to purchase a few extra terabytes. I loaded this disk to use as a comparison. For disks in 2022, 7200 rpm with a 64 meter buffer and an access time of 8.5 ms is pretty nice. Image of one of them from a screen:

I built my computer at the end of 2022. there are two hard drives of the st1000dm003 model in the system. Used for games and file cleaning. System on ssd. It is now August 2022, not a hint of a malfunction. Gorgeous pieces of iron, I will take more.

A year later, UNC appeared at the beginning and middle of the disc. Run HDD Regenerator 2022 and create partitions in unaffected areas. But the disk also began to disappear from the system, apparently the end is coming to the control board. There is 1 more disk, a full UNC disk.

Look at the graphs, the percentage of failures and the statistics of leaving this garbage to another world based on data on > 25000 xdd mine died after 2.5 years of use. showed >60 errors at 2% of the longtest check with the native seatools utility and refused to check further,comnfessing to death due to bad blocks

An honest appraisal of this item.Firmware cc47, no problem with parking was noticed. The disk works quietly and stably, I advise everyone.

It was taken back in 2022 as the main system drive, over time the system moved to SSD, and then to M2 NVME, but the old man continues to work as a file cleaner and is not going to retire, fire!

I bought it about a year ago, now it has begun to click periodically, smart writes will die soon, make backups, that's what I'm busy with for now. Better not take this model, wasted money, that's all! here is the report:

Bought about 3 months ago, used as a system! At first I wanted a smaller volume, but not a big difference in price and the volume of films in full hd won))) the latest firmware seems to be cc4 if I'm not mistaken! so far no problems! rustles and works in tandem with the old creaking and wide wd, also a terabyte! I hope it works for a long time)))

I took this disc two years ago, while alive (pah pah pah). The disc works fine, BUT over time, a crackling began, quite loud. If you pay attention, you will hear only him.

bought in 2022. After 2 years, crumbled. I haven't used a computer in 2 years. The HDD was divided into 2 parts, on one section the system on the other is a garbage dump. Before that, there was also a barracuda ST3500410SV, which still works, but there are already a lot of bad blocks. Now I bought an SSD and took a regular Toshiba 2 terabyte HDD.

After half a year of his stupid violence by downloading all sorts of kints on the tse (disk), he died in short, the cover is on him! Dzhigurda! ((

The WD20EARX standing next to it was bought a year earlier, and is still alive and well. This one was bought to replace another Seagate (I don’t remember the name), which also failed two years after the purchase. I won't trust Seagate anymore.

Never, NEVER buy a Seagate! First inclusion - June 2022, complete failure - September 2022. The most annoying thing is that it was included in the package of a monoblock, i. E. in fact, there was nothing to choose from

Problems began almost immediately, disappeared in the system but for unknown reasons. Hitachi stood next to me all the time, this one never failed. Seagate - the worst hard drives, this is generally understandable for the price, I spent a lot of nerves with it, now I will take hitachi, the toad is tight, but the nerves are more expensive.

I decided to write a good comment, there are a lot of bad ones, but I still have a normal disk, smart is normal without bads. etc. now 2022, the screw is fully functional.

I worked in a video surveillance DVR, after half a year of work 24/7 - it broke with all video files :( I did low-level formatting, as soon as the amount of data reaches 600 gigabytes - the disk turns off and nothing can be read from it. And every about 10 - 12 hours - hung.

In principle, a good budget HDD, good performance, stable operation. But the durability is not very good, the HDD from the same company has lived with me for almost 6 years, and most likely it would have lived longer if I had not ruined it. With its pros: Cold, thin, adequate price. Fairly fast. With intensive use, he lived for almost 4 years without problems. Different cons: After 3.5 years of work, he began to get weird. Periodically disappeared from the system, while suspending Windows…

I have been using it since 2022 with the only disk - the flight is normal, it does not fail, it does not fray. Whoever has something oxidized there - do not use system units in basements, and you will be happy!
