ps4
This hard drive was purchased to be installed in a PS4 to replace the original 500gb hard drive, which is far too small, for the moment it works perfectly. I have no boot errors to report.

is hanging by a thread...
Let's be honest, on a batch of 3 disks, all of them work (for the moment).
Apparently Seagate has developed a new error correction system. This would be a good thing in theory, as long as you don't take advantage of it to cut back on your safety margin from the start!
To put it simply, the disk mechanism itself has a catastrophic error rate, but the software is so clever and has so much redundancy that it can recalculate the correct value from the bits of information it has gleaned.
Of course this can only be done by increasing the delay to access the data and the disk will also heat up more.
I therefore strongly advise against this model, which will not last long. The error rate, which is already indecent and unworthy of a major manufacturer, will continue to climb and as soon as it goes above the level that allows correction, bad sectors will appear everywhere.
What is treacherous is that it will come little by little, it will take longer and longer to react, the user will think he has a little slack and will continue to use it, and when he understands what is happening, it will be too late, his precious data will be lost.
I remind you that whatever the brand, a hard drive can fail at any time and you should avoid putting your whole life on it (family photos, etc...)
For this kind of stuff, it's better to use a NAS with several disks and redundancy at least of the RAID-6 type or to put them in the cloud because normally the providers of these services are supposed to guarantee reliability and make backups.
And for corporate data that you can't afford to lose or leave with third parties, there are professional grade disks that have a very low error rate and high reliability (in exchange for a higher price)

Irrecoverable data
I thought I was buying an SSD but it turned out to be a classic dir drive with mechanical parts. Damaged read head and unreadable disk. In short, I've just lost years of work and personal data. Not happy at all.

Good internal drive.
Correct speeds, and very quiet if you plan to use it in an external box, for example!

Perfect for turning an old computer into a small home server
I've combined it with a small SSD for the system, on a 2009 Macbook, to make a backup server.
The drive is plenty fast enough for backups and movies, since the bottleneck is the network.
For the time being, the drive is very quiet, so there's nothing to complain about there.
As for lifespan, we'll have to wait and see. :)Review automatically translated -

top as always
I bought it to add to a nas running omv, and it was immediately recognised after being mounted on a PCI/sata expansion card, and after being formatted by the system, it is already very full and I'm completely satisfied. It replaces an "old" disk from my old laptop which, after ten years, is starting to show signs of fatigue... As usual, delivery was fast, in a slightly bulky parcel, but it was well packed and protected, and the drive was safe.

Quiet and fast
To put in a NUC acting as a HTPC, this drive (9mm) is fast and very quiet. In a passively cooled machine, you can't hear it at all past 1m.
I can't say how long it will last, but from experience with this brand, it should last for many years, even in 24 hour use (under Linux).Review automatically translated -

Does the job
Installed behind an SSD, to replace a 500GB HDD that was getting a bit small, the recognition by Windows 10 was immediate and without any problem. Since then, it has been forgotten and has been accumulating data.

Good record / Fast delivery
This drive has given new life to an old machine too small to hold a modern system. The drive is used to make a home NAS, to host backups.
It is well known under FreeBSD.
Fast delivery as usualReview automatically translated -

1 out of 6 discs out of order on unpacking
I ordered these drives to put in a Synology NAS, 6 hard drives, exactly the same type. One of the 6 hard drives was out of order as soon as I started up.
Standard exchange in progress via LDLC. For the moment, the other hard drives are working and seem to be quite fast.Review automatically translated -

HDD 2 TB
Seagate has an excellent reputation, which is why I only buy Seagate Barracuda HDDs. It's my third and I'm always satisfied. Mounted in a USB 3.1 box, the transfers are very fast, 100 to 125 mo/s.

Installation of Free's Delta Box
Installed 4 disks in raid 10 in a Free Delta box
the discs work perfectly
However the viewing on the free player when recording the stream (pausing for example) is not 100% fluid - The box and the free player are most probably responsible for this problemReview automatically translated -

purchase for ps4
Hello,
I am very pleased with the delivery and the packaging, which is always fast and well protected.
I'm very pleased with the product, it's great, I bought it to replace the original hard drive of a ps4, it's easy to install, the console recognizes the drive and it's very quiet.
It's a great product, but it's not the same as the original hard drive.
I recommend this productReview automatically translated -

Excellent
The hard drive is fast. I'm not disappointed, the PS4 supports the hard drive without any problems I'm very satisfied. I recommend this drive for those who want to go from 500GB to 2TB it's the best.

No problems after one year of use
Mounted with SSD in parallel, the transfer between the two is fast.
Easy to install (like the others, I guess).
No problems for a year of constant use.
It's also quiet.

No problem, quiet, fast enough and I hope reliable enough, second only to the M2 I put W10 on.
I only use it for storage, and have no problems accessing it, fast enough for me.Review automatically translated -

not well
My hard drive burned out on Sunday 20 May which had an impact on the power supply, the 12 volt doesn't work anymore. A smell of burning and out of the pc I unplugged everything in panic. I had a backup power supply from Corsair of 750w, I realised that the 12 volt power supply had failed and the hard drive had burnt out at the level of the electronic plate, now there is a dent and for several days it could smell like burning. Not at all happy with this product, waiting for an exchange of this defective product.

Installed as 2nd hdd - no problem at the moment
Mounted in tandem with a WD 250GB Blue SSD, the transfer rates are very satisfactory:
example for a file of +/-2.7GB
From SEAGATE to SSD :
Average rate = 1GB/s - time = 4 sec
From SSD to SEAGATE :
Average rate = 124MB/s - time = 11 sec
From SEAGATE to SEAGATE (on 2 different partitions) :
Average rate = 120MB/s - time = 12 sec
And for LDLC's services, always top notch, fast shipping.Review automatically translated -

2to of games!
Bought this to replace the hard drive in my first generation ps4.
It fits on the original chassis without any problem and even offers a slight performance gain compared to the original HGST drive.
It's especially the capacity that I appreciate in relation to my use.
It will also be perfect to replace the disk of a laptop as it does not heat up more than another model and it is silent.
100% satisfied!

Nothing to reproach him for the moment
Bought to replace the meagre 500GB that came with the PS4 Slim I had just bought.
It's a 2.5" mechanical hard drive... Installs well in the PS4 with no problems.
Still early to have an opinion on the long term, it's only been two weeks, but nothing to report for the moment.Review automatically translated -

Perfectly adapted to the need
Bought to extend the capacity of my ASUS Zenbook whose 1TB drive was filling up too fast, it replaced the original drive thanks to its 7mm format. So, the old 1TB went to join the second slot of my other ASUS N750 (great these laptops with 2 slots) which gives me also 2TB of capacity. I'm very happy with the operation and LDLC delivered quickly and well.

New hard drive for a ps4, fits perfectly and quite quiet. It does its job without flinching, does not heat up too quickly despite the number of hours using the console.

Compatibility with NUC uncertain
The drive runs very well for several minutes (60-100 MB/s write rate), then slips afterwards with moments of absence (0 MB/s) and intermediate peaks (almost back to normal for 5-10 seconds). Incompatibility with the NUC? Strange... So, it's a 2.

No apparent problems.
I use it in a usb 3 raid box, no apparent problems. However, I can't swear to its long term reliability. The disks are only used for backups once a week. On the other hand, I use an old version of these disks on a Synology NAS (4 disks), they have been running non-stop day and night for over a year without any problem.

Nothing to report at this time
This disk is used to replace the PS4's one, which is far too small. For the moment it does the job without any problem.
We'll see in time, it's like good wine, it's only with time that we can know if a hard drive is of good quality.Review automatically translated -

Avoided
I just finished paying in 3 installments for this hard drive for my PS4, and it just broke
The other hard drive I had before lasted AT LEAST 1 year and 2 months, this one only lasted 3 months... So I really don't recommend it if you want a HD that lasts with you... The other hard drive I had before lasted AT LEAST 1 year and 2 months... So I really don't recommend it if you want a hard drive that lasts with you... Plus I live in the DOM TOM and to return a product (IMPOSSIBLE) and I don't think they're going to send me another one for compensation, so with the taxes I got, it's more than 120€ in the trash because of this hard driveReview automatically translated -

Very good for a PS4
I bought it to replace my 500GB hard drive on my PS4 and it works great. It's easy to install, just use a screwdriver and it's ready to go. I have nothing to report so far, the PS4 accepts it perfectly.

No Problem
Fast delivery.
Hard disk installed without any problem to replace another one of 1 Tbyte thanks to Acronis and a USB3 and Sata box.
Full copy of the two partitions with adaptation of the program to divide the 2 larger partitions according to their capacity.
Still requires a few hours of copying.
Copying files from partitions with a file manager such as Multicommander does not work. Same with the Windows 10 manager.Review automatically translated -

I have been using it for a month now and have had no problems with it so far. I've been using it every day for a month now and no problems have been detected yet. I've been using it every day for a month now and I haven't had any problems with it yet, and it's great to be able to install all your games without worrying about the space left.

These Seagates are not reliable
Well, you have to wipe the slate clean for this drive. Out of 3 Seagate drives ordered 2 are not working with the same problem. The drive seems to want to boot, but is not recognized by the system.
I hope LDLC will be up to the task of giving me a refund. Because I will have to change my choices.Review automatically translated
