yeah, if it is empty. Fill it to 80-90% and you will see the difference ...
Getting 3.6 TB from a 4TB HDD is a terrible waste of 400GB space just for the file system's formatting info, so... (1). What file-system does this HDD use, and can it be formatted to some other MORE EFFICIENT file-system that gives more actual storage space? (2). Can this be hooked up to my networked AVR & Smart TV in the drawing room and STILL be accessible (read/write) from the networked PC in my bedroom (e.g. I just downloaded a file to my PC and I want to transfer it to this HDD so that the file can be read by my TV/AVR)?
You earned yourself a sub.
Can I two external drives like SSD and HDD in my laptop with two USB ports pls reply
I bought mine, when I shake it the insides move a bit. Is it broken?
i got 1 for 50 bucks
Does it work for PS4?
Nice white noise lmao
I saw WD My passport 4Tb much faster) Read 130-140, Write 120
Can i store my xbox one s games in this hard drive? Nice video btw
I just got 4 tb few weeks ago it was on sell $130 here in Canada. because I was running out of space for my games and some other things I didn't want to re-download games from steam on my crappy net speeds
Does it work with dvr? For surveillance cameras
Great vid bud. I’m looking at this exact Drive for my MacBook Pro 👍🏽
Quick Question: Does anyone know why the write speed during actual use (copying a bunch of files over to another folder on the same drive) only gives me 30-35MB/s? Could it be that the drive is slower because it needs to read and write at the same time?
Those Seagate drives are awesome for the price. Have one and use it to edit and to store photos, they’re durable and a great value.
Nice review! Thanks for the video.
Good review
Does it work with Xbox one?
i cant stop reading the comments with a Indian accent
Does this work for console, like PS4/Xbox
Is there any case for this hard drive
Is this work for ps4? Thanks
What about noise? I have the previous model of Seagate external 3.5" drives, also 3TB, and it's louder than my desktop computer (which admittedly is very quiet).
4:27 Terabytes*
nice informative vid. probably gonna get this one.
Please can you do a version of this without that (awful) distracting music. I can't listen to both!
Hello, To the point video. Not boaring. Keep it up. 1. I am video editor. Can i use this drive 24x7 like internal drive. 2. Which is best external hdd to use video editing (use for 14-15hrs a day) rply soon. 3. And please make a comparison video on seagate backup plus hub vs backup plus protable.
lmao. you need to stop black magic when transferring files.. will go much faster because the drive it not being hammered by black magic....
Good video brother, very informative. However, you need to improve your audio quality. There are an array of inexpensive microphones out there, I recommend a condenser microphone. A fairly decent one will set you back £20-£50, fairly inexpensive.
report back!
Same Seagate: after a few monts: DEFECT! impossible to start. Bad expirience with Seagate Drives.
I've been using mine for a year and half and it's still awesome! I'm sad that you can't buy these anymore. There's nothing else out there like it!
TIme for your promised update - is it still working?
is this drive still working??
Hi I just wanted to know if you still have the hard drive and does it still work because I'm about to buy one for my PS4 Pro I noticed that this video was posted like two years ago 2017 now and I just wanted to know how long did it work or it's still working
Is it still working? Please let me know, cuz i wanna buy one .
what is drive condition after 1 year of use?
Hey how is the HD now?
How do I encrypt my drive? What are the steps? Thanks, I have a MacBook Pro
Thanks for the nice review. Is there a way to switch this to RAID 1 mirrored mode yet? That'd be perfect for a backup drive. Just like RAID 0 striped is completely imperfect (stupid, really) for "backups", as it doubles risk of failure. Even more if the drives are 7200rpm and run warmer.
Are you still happy with this drive?
Any update on this drive?
is that need an adaptor?
all these nerds acting tuff with the military/survival knife hahahahhahaha its a bit of tape.
Update? How is the Seagate Drive?
is this drive only for mac? Does not work on windows ?
hows the hard drive, is it good enough for the xbox one, does it get hot, and does it turn off and on? thanks for the video, im looking for a good external hard drive for my XB1 and thus seagate is very affordable for 5tb
Which macbook pro do you use for your video editing...
What camera do you use jeff?
wait, an internal 5TB BarraCuda 2.5" is double the price of this
Thanks for the video. Now I can put my external HDD to use
Thanks friend, I was waiting for the internal 5TB Seagate HDD to get cheaper for one year, so finally I searched yesterday if there was another option to buy because it was very expensive and the only one 5tb 2.5 inches hdd, I search for external and I found Seagate 5tb hdd 50€ lower than the internal, imagine last year it was 80€ expensively the internal than external, thanks for the video that you open it up and we saw that they were petting the same hdd on external and they selling it for more money, i order it today, i need space in my ps4 😂👍
Thank you mate. I was looking for this. I'm planning to buy 5TB Seagate for my ITX build. Using SGPC K39 case. Hope this HDD can fit in.
These are 15mm drives that won't fit most of the laptops. They are cheaper than the 9.5mm internal drive because there are more discs inside the enclosure, which means lower density each disc and slower and cost the manufacturer less cost to make. If you are using a desktop and looking for storage space this is a good option to save cost, if you are a laptop user, check the spec before purchasing otherwise you'll have to use this as an external drive in a damaged case.
Would you please share a speed benchmarking for it after using it internally?
That looks thicker than a laptop hard drive. It is similar to the WD My Passport except that WD has only a permanent USB 3.0 connector on My Passport. It is a shame really because some people wanted to use them in their laptop and desktop. The fact is that both that drive and the WD drive are odd. I wonder if WD did that to make you buy a desktop or laptop drive for those purposes and make you pay more too while possibly cutting manufacturing costs. I can't see any other reasons for that anyhow. It would be nice to be able to use them either way we like to. The way I see it parts that are more standardized would probably sell more anyhow. I just hope they remember there is always a market for standard SATA and SAS hard drives and that if they no longer produce those it could jeopardize their profit margins and even sales.
What’s the real model of internal hard drive? I want to know their specs.
I noticed that 5V 0.85A is written on the hard disk at the technical details. Will the drive work with a standard SATA power connection?
Very interesting review turned out :) But there is no most important thing, namely the speed characteristics of the disk in the operating mode. WAITING FOR INDICATORS with CrystalDiskInfo.
That's such a thick drive! I don't think this will fit into a laptop. Should be used on my desktop or NAS. Great video though.
Guys be aware laptops use 9.5mm and these 4tb drives are 15mm and will not fit
Will it fit into my Dell Latitude e7440 laptop ????
Great tutorial mate! I’m tempted to do this to mine and put it in the empty slot in my laptop. Windows runs off the M.2. Drive in the laptop so in theory this drive isn’t gonna be getting thrashed with small read/writes any more than it would if it was still in its caddy being used as an external backup. Can you tell me the dimensions of the unit please so I can check against my slot. Thanks in advance :)
I wouldn't, not ever again. Four Seagate External Drives failed in two years, whilst the Internal Drives have Never failed. I have a Seagate 40Gb PATA drive from 1993, still works. Now I buy NAS Drives, and fit them in an enclosure. Guaranteed for 5 years, and that is with the expectation that they will be running 24/7. They are making them now with External specific boards, which means that they will not transfer to internal use. Because people were doing this, and the External HDDs fail too frequently.
Thanks for your effort and sharing your experience with us. Nice and natural and thus effective way of presenting the topic. As mentioned earlier, one should consider the issue of warranty/guarantee on taking the device apart.
this seagate dies after some months so where is the point im even buying one of these?
So, supposing you take one of these apart--can you put it back together without any issues in functionality?
Were you able to successfully use this drive internally in a computer? I came across this interesting page detailing how Seagate may be putting some proprietary code on the USB controller to prevent the drive's use as internal storage: https://lime-technology.com/forums/topic/32408-seagate-5tb-externals-mystery-solved/
This is exactly what I wanted to see because some manufacturers had started putting some proprietary connectors onto their external HDDs (or soldering some stuff on them) to somehow prevent people (looking at you Toshiba). Kudos to Seagate for keeping this standard! And thank you for doing this teardown so we can comfortably buy these to use as internal HDDs for our PCs!
