I’ve had this drive running in my Homebase 3 Eufy security setup for a while now, and it’s been working perfectly fine with no issues at all. It’s quiet in general, feels like nice quality, and performs smoothly. The only small downsides are that it does vibrate a fair bit and makes a bit of a sound that’s hard to describe. It can also get a little hot at times, but that seems perfectly normal. Overall, it’s been reliable, fast, and solid well worth it and I genuinely enjoy using it.

This HHD works just as expected. It’s easy to install if you know what you’re doing and know your way around the inside of your PC. It’s very good quality which is why I love Seagate. It is quite heavy but that didn't cause any problems for me. It’s worth the price, with stuff like this it’s better to not go for the cheap stuff and go with a trusted brand. Overall 10/10 and i recommend.

I bought 2 of these about a year apart, the oldest has just failed at just over 3 years, it didn't fail catastrophically, but over a few weeks the errors increased dramatically, which gave me time to ensure my backups were up to date. Although some may think 3 years is good for pretty much continuous use, I personally expect a minimum of 5 years, the majority of my drives usually at least this long (some even older) I actually have around a dozen, some in NAS units. So to sum up: The quality, is only reasonably good, the fact it just didn't stop and gave me time to check my backups, gives it the fourth star. It obviously looses one for not lasting the expected 5 years but I maybe just have higher expectations.

Formated 14TB drive and got 13.7TB out of the HDD. Why Your Hard Drive Shows Less Space Than Advertised If you’ve paid attention to hard drives, USB flash drives, and other storage devices, you may have noticed that they always have less space than promised once they’re formatted. The reason for this difference lies in the way hard drive manufacturers advertise their devices, versus the way Windows computers actually use the storage devices. There’s also some overhead required when Windows formats your drive, for the file system and boot data, though in comparison to today’s large hard drives, it’s not a lot. To a hard disk manufacturer, one KB is 1000 bytes, one MB is 1000 KB, and one GB is 1000 MB. Essentially, if a hard disk is advertised as 500GB, it contains 500 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000 = 500,000,000,000 bytes of space. The hard disk manufacturer thus advertises the disk as a 500 GB hard disk. However, manufacturers of RAM don’t sell it in even groups of 1000 – they use groups of 1024. When you’re buying memory, a KB is 1024 bytes, a MB is 1024 KB, and a GB is 1024 MB. To work back from the 500,000,000,000 bytes above: 500,000,000,000 / (1024*1024*1024) = 465.66 GB Keep in mind that the hard drive manufacturers are using the accurate description of the terms–the prefix giga, for instance, means a power of 1000, whereas the correct term for powers of 1024 is gibibyte, though it isn’t often used. Unfortunately, Windows has always calculated hard drives as powers of 1024 while hard drive manufacturers use powers of 1000. That’s a difference of nearly 35 GB over what the average buyer would be led to believe a hard drive contains. If hard disks were advertised in terms of the amount of space they actually contained when you connected them to your Windows computer, a 1 TB hard drive would be labeled a 931 GB hard drive instead. Alternatively, Windows could update their UI to use the correct definition of gigabyte–other operating systems, like OS X, have already changed their representation to correctly state the right amount of space.

I bought 2 TB HDD for my Lenovo Gaming 3 laptop. watched some youtube videos to fix it my laptop. faced some challenge while attaching HDD to my new laptop. but after fixing it, its working good. worth to buy

HD Tune programı ile 2 saat 20 dakika süren bad sektör testi yaptım, hiç bad sektör çıkmadı. En uygun fiyatlı, en ince ve kaliteli 7200 rpm hdd bu sanırım. Aslında 10000 rpm'lik hdd almak lazım ama kara borsaya düştükleri için alması zor. Piyasa maalesef 5000 rpm'li hdd'ler ile dolu. Ama siz yine de 7200 rpm'nin altına düşmeyin. Bu hdd'nin hızı yeterli, oyunlarlarda sıkıntı çıkarmaz. Forza 4'ü, 1tb'lik WD'den (7200 rpm 150 MB/s) bu hdd'ye taşıdım, oyun daha hızlı açıldı. HD Tune benchmark testi: Transfer Rate Minimum : 99.2 MB/s (225 ile başlıyor test tam biterken 99 mb'ye düşüyor.) Maximum : 330.8 MB/s Average : 299.0 MB/s Access Time : 0.4 ms Burst Rate : 225.4 MB/s CPU Usage : 29.4% (yazılan dosyaların boyutuna göre rakamlar doğal olarak değişebilir) Crystal Disk Mark testi: Standart 1 gb'lik dosya testi Okuma: 226.15 MB/s Yazma: 212.66 MB/s

Sehr gut geeignet für NAS und Geräte, bei denen es auf niedrigen Geräuschpegel ankommt, Schreib- und Lesevorgänge sind leise genug um nicht negativ aufzufallen. Schreibperformance ist sehr gut, ebenso die Leseperformance, hier gibt es nichts zu kritisieren. Haltbarkeit muss sich noch zeigen, die Herstellergarantie von 5 Jahren weckt jedoch Vertrauen. Gutes Produkt, kann ich so empfehlen.
