As I said in a prior review for a WD I would recommend this drive over a comparable WD. However in some case(s) I would recommend the WD over a Seagate. It really depends on the trade off(s) and so on. The Seagate ran just a tad hotter than I would like. About 12 degree(s) over. At about 111 degree Fahrenheit. That may not seem hot but over the long term will add up. I also had it in a external docking station.

- Small - Fast - Large capacity

I was impressed by the speed of this little drive! Seriously I got 110.9 read and 109 write on CrystalDiskMark on a freshly installed Windows 10.


Reliability - I've used 3 of these since 2015 without any problems. Height - 9.5 mm is the correct height to fit in my Intel NUCs and is "standard" 2.5 inch drive height Capacity - 2 TB is the largest I've found in a 9.5 mm drive

Large capacity in a small foot print


Lots of storage space for a small drive. Is moderately fast. Good amount of cache.

- NAS product with a better warranty. - I have 16 of them and no fail yet withing a few months...


The item arrived in excellently-protective packaging and installed easily. Just be sure to assign the new drive in your settings. Plenty of info on the Interwebs for that. Using for about 1 week so far and works great! I paired it with 512gb SSD that came standard in my ASUS TUF Gaming FX505-GT

After a few weeks, I'm completely happy with this drive. It fits in a standard enclosure, and is fast and quiet.

No issues so far.

*Quiet *Fast er than most 7200RPM drives I've seen so far *Constant 7200RPM, all the way with no SSHD crawl when often shuffling large file around *Potentially the new feature regarding “Seagate SmartAlign technology provides easy transition to 4K sectors” makes the whole world of difference here! Quick & dirty test with Crystal Disk mark on my ancient SATA1 test laptop (specs below) running daily apps in background netted quite awesome results! Sequential Read speed: 141.5MB/s Sequential Write speed: 138.5MB/se Wow!


The Firecuda's hybrid (combining flash memory with rotating disk) is an economical means to get increased as well as faster storage solution for the Playstation4


This is a nice 1TB enterprise Seagate drive in a 2.5" form factor. I'm running this drive in a workstation. It came with a 5 year warranty. (Please note, this most likely will not fit in a laptop, if that is what you are seeking to do. It is much taller than a typical laptop drive.) So far, I'm very happy with it.,

Fast, Quiet and so far very reliable.
