very good 4 to hard drive ( to convert to GPT )

Seagate is a good brand of HDD, I have several and they all work well. the particularity of this hard disk is that they makes 4 to. This disk is of origin in format MBR, but be wary on Windows in your management of disk the format MBR takes maximum partitions of 2 to max! So the hard disk is divided into two partitions one of 2 to and one of 1.6 to ( yes the 4 to is only 3.7 to in the end ) So to solve this problem and to have only one partition of 3.6 or 3.7 to, it will be necessary that you convert your hard disk in GPT this format allows to create more partitions and especially to have a partition beyond 2 to.

Deficient sector

I'm not even a month into using a nas deja 16 sector defective I find it quite scandalous for a hdd that does not run H24 (extection of the nas automatically at night) and that moreover has not even 1 MONTH!

Perfect, but...

Hello,

I read the reviews and I remember that if the temperature in the disc continuously exceeds 40 degrees, the mechanism expands and rubs on the platters, resulting in mass errors and various problems.

Tip: Don't put the drive in a closed external usb case (temperature rises to 48 degrees) because in an idle and ventilated environment the temperature doesn't drop below 30 degrees. Its smaller 1TB brothers are better off, with a maximum idle temperature of 24 degrees and an ambient temperature of 18 degrees.

Yours sincerely

Great

I picked up the 4TB Seagate BarraCuda because it offers excellent value for money for those who need lots of storage space. With decent read/write speeds and good reliability, it's perfect for backups or mass storage. The only downside is that it can be slightly noisy. All in all, a very good choice for everyday use if you're looking for capacity without breaking your budget.

Excellent product

Nothing wrong with the brand. Very good manufacture. I've already bought competing brands but Seagate remains one of my favourites in terms of value for money as well as lifespan. I bought it mainly for bulky storage, and it fulfilled its role well. Once powered up via a docking station, it boots up quickly and is easily recognised by Windows 10/11. Transfer, read/write are pretty fast for 5400 rpm. Very satisfied with the product, I'd recommend it with my eyes closed.

Reliable and worth

The price is well worth it and I've never had a problem with them. I've been moving my old discs from PC to PC for over 6 years and they've always been OK!

Disappointed

I wouldn't recommend the product after using it for 3 years.

Apparently recommended equipment, I must be out of luck. I've had them for just over 3 years now and one of them failed yesterday and the other is starting to make noise and I can hear it. It's a shame because these are the two disks on which I copy my business data. I can't recover the data from the first, and I'm looking for an emergency replacement for the second.

Seagate 4 TO

This is the 6th HDD of this brand and capacity that I've bought, the other 4 are in external HDDs.
No problem for the moment
LDLC is very competitive compared to other suppliers

Good drive, too early to talk about reliability, but usually the SEAGATE brand offers good hard drives.
I chose it for large data storage. Does the job well

Just right

This drive replaces another 2TB Seagate Barracuda, which had become too small and was already quite old, with no problems. The new one works just as well (we'd have been surprised if it hadn't) and is just as quiet, which is something I like about Seagate.

Purchased in 2019, it's starting to break down

I bought this drive in February 2019. It's starting to fail now, in December 2023, I've just had the first problems (file system errors, SMART test failure). So it will have lasted 4.8 years, or about 42200 hours.

RAS : works :) we'll have to see how long it lasts.

The previous 2T HDD dates back to 2012. It runs 12 hours a day; it's not a system (it's a 0.5T SSD). It jammed (seized up). Solution: the hair dryer on the disk. It's back up and running and I've been able to recover my latest data, which hasn't yet been archived.

The 4T fitted without any problem in a free drawer in the tower, but fortunately I had 'the right screws' in stock. It runs under W7.

For non-geeks, go to My Computer
C:\system32\compmgmt.msc /s
Storage/Disk management
Right-click on the new disk
Follow the instructions. At the end, the window looks like the attached image. If you plan to make copies between disks, it's best to assign a new letter, even if you have to change it again later.

Good entry-level storage

However, it is a little noisy for my taste when the drive is in use. Other brands make quieter HDDs.

1/4 of a clerk

I have received the four hard drives I ordered.
Unfortunately one of the four is faulty, there is a repetitive read head noise when starting up.
I have to check with the service department.
The other three work perfectly.

Great price

For the price and silence a nice 10/10
I was rather Western Digital but now, it's 2 times that Seagate surprises me in good.
This 4Tb is even worth my 4Tb from WD, which cost almost 100 Euro more a year ago, in loaded speed and despite its low rotation and its lesser cache...
For this price, it's clear, there is no better.

However, I am disappointed that the disk in question refuses to be formatted, whereas two other disks purchased from you have been formatted without any problem.
What do you recommend I do in this case?
Thank you

So far the product is working without problems.
In place of a 1TB storage drive that was starting to show signs of age.
Not the fastest but for storage it does the job very well.
I have an identical one that has been working for 5 years without a hitch.

It does the job, well. What more can I say here... well, I'm still very happy with LDLC and their professionalism. I'm very happy with their professionalism, everything is well received and compliant, no recycled material from glassy salesmen, and in these times of rare video cards, it's with them that I understood that I shouldn't try to get one elsewhere.

One in two chances

Three years to the day after I bought two of these discs, the first one gave out with a sudden clatter without warning. The second seems to be working fine for the moment but is the lesser of the two. In my day, as the other guy would say, "proven reliability" lasted a little over three years. Well, it's got a two year warranty so...

Because perfection doesn't exist. And it's still better than 8/10. I'd put it down to the wait, between the time you buy the product and the time it's delivered.

Very good hard drive, I took two of them to make a RAID 1 (mirroring). The two hard drives work very well, quiet (or at least not noisy enough to bother me) and 4Tb one can add "very spacious".

Very good choice

Received 6 days after ordering (Belgium) - very good!
Well packed and protected (the disc in cardboard and surrounded by corrugated cardboard but why a cardboard box 4 times too big?)
Unformatted (normal) - immediately recognized by W10 and immediate proposal to format in GPT - very good.
Small CrystalDiskMark test (1G file: 140Mb read and 125Mb write - very good for a 5400rpm)
We'll see in use...

Intended to replace an old defective Toshiba 2TB drive, this hard drive works well in my tower. Although the spin speed is slower than my previous drive, I have not noticed any particular drop in speed when loading my programs.
