I've been using it for 5 days and everything's running smoothly, no slowdowns (Windows, games, movies, music), but the only thing that bothers me is the click sound after turning off the computer (my other drives, Samsung and Western Digital, don't have this clicking sound). If it breaks, I'll let you know. 1. Low price (1 Terabyte bought for 30 EUR).
2. Does not heat up during operation; there's a 12 cm fan facing my disk (Everest sensor shows 29°C for the disk and 24°C in the room). 3. Suitable for installing Windows. 4. My disk has the latest firmware CC46 installed. 5. Contains 2 platters of 500 GB each and is optimally tuned for torrent distribution and downloading, meaning when a large number of users access data on the disk from torrents, it won’t slow down or crash. 6. This model has new mechanics inside. 1. Connected to the Sata2 port, formatted the drive with Acronis software, and partitioned it into 3 parts: Drive C: Windows-xp (25GB), Drive D: Games (160GB), Drive E: Storage Dump (740GB). When I started filling up 740GB with music, the drive began making a suspicious metallic knocking sound, a short TUK-TUK-TUK, but after copying smaller files, the knocking stopped! 2. After shutting down the computer, there's one loud metallic TUK sound. 3. The Smart check passes without errors (why, then, is it making noise!?). |
There were different drives - WD, a few Samsungs, about 5 Seagates. But in my personal [censored] the ST3500413AS took second place after the famous 7200.11 series of the same company. p/s It is obvious that among Seagate with SATA3 support there may be successful examples, but I do not recommend purchasing. quiet and cold terrible graph of linear read speed, many "slow" sectors. Compared to the old st3500418as, the new st3500413as has over two times more sectors with an access time of 50ms (6262) than the old one with 20ms (2607). Previously, two-head drives showed uneven read speeds between the top and bottom heads, but a difference of one and a half times is a record. |
The drive was used for storing archival data, barely worked, and was rarely connected to the computer. It just barely made it through the warranty period and then died without the possibility of recovery. I only managed to transfer the data off it. At the service center, they said that the heads were stuck to the surface and there's nothing that can be done! managed to leak data from this piece of crap frank marriage i recommend it don't buy |
