Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Best drives so far. Works as advertised. Seller has good communication. Every seagate drive i have bought since more than 15 years worked great lasting at minimum for 7 years of continued using.

The drive runs far cooler than the old wd drives it is replacing. The drive is somewhat noisy on startup/sleep but overall the performance is good. The drives are a bit noisy and run warmer than some others i have used.

It explains that seagate has modified how the data from the built-in s. Datum is stored. Good question. Can't say enough.
