Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Gb hard drive for $12 from amazon. Com. Uses usb 3. Works great for backup of ps3 datum. Only issue is amazon put 3 small drives in a big box with no packing. Gb/s transfer rate is usually supposed to be 600 mb/s, but that's because of using usb.

Cons

Seagate is pure junk. The surfaces of the drive are not clean; there are small bits of debris and smudges all over the drive. The upper word of hours was not cleared in the attempt to reset smart data.

Many hdds of the same kind from hitachi and wd, this is the worst one i have ever used. Any ssd beats these by a mile. I will not be buying anymore hd's from amazon vendors.

Unrecognized in disk management, doesn't spin up, and makes a beeping sound. The connector fingers have scratches which indicate they were previously plugged into a connector. It was very clearly pulled from an unsold dell laptop.

Shipping

The shipping was really fast and it was very well packaged.

Everything was there and works as it should, shipping was slow

Best of all, they worked very hard to get the unit to me with fast shipping.

Packaging/appearance

I bought one of these drives, came perfectly sealed and in packaging like it was a new product, opened it up and plugged it in,... Read More

Maybe a 5 star review will encourage them to wipe the data before packaging these hard drives as if they were new.

Competitiveness

Although these are slower 5400rpm sata 3 drives, i've found them useful for a number of things.

I just wanted to extra capacity per price of hhd, where the speed doesn't matter as much if it's just for file storage that doe... Read More
