Errors upon receipt
As soon as I started using the disk (software installation), file system errors started to appear. Believing there were a few bad sectors, I ran a check for bad sectors; but the errors persisted. Running SMART tests immediately detected a read error. I must have hit a wrong number.
Another time, I will systematically run a smart test before installing anything on the disks to avoid wasting time.

Very good cable
This cable is not easy to use but it works well and is easy to slip behind the motherboard.

Loose trays, then changed, the new one switches itself off and has trouble restarting.
Purchased in June 2024. The first drive of this model did not work when plugged in vertically, only horizontally. I asked LDLC to test it vertically and they saw that the platters were not fixed properly. They changed it for me. The new one of the same model worked well for 3 months. However, I noticed that after 3 months of use, when I was using it for file archiving, in a vertical external stand, it switched itself off, regardless of the fact that it was also horizontal. There were interruptions then very short restarts at the beginning then longer interruptions and more and more frequent until it switched off, not wanting to be switched on again for a long time, Will it die? The SMART tests (CrystalDiskInfo) indicate nothing in particular when it works.

An essential reference for storing my data, these hard drives are powerful, quiet and last over time. The first ones I bought 7 years ago are still working without a hitch.

Reliable and durable hard drive
The Seagate BarraCuda 2Tb (ST2000DM008) is an excellent hard drive that continues to perform perfectly after 4 years of use. It offers good storage capacity and continues to perform well for everyday use, whether for large files or applications.
In short, a reliable, durable hard drive that's still going strong, even after several years.Review automatically translated -

I don't have enough time to judge the long-term reliability of this HDD, but for the moment it's living up to my expectations. I'm used to SSDs, so I'd forgotten just how fast they can work, but they're still perfect for storage!

Good HDD, but only lasted as long as the warranty
After just over three years of loyal service as dedicated storage for my personal and professional files, of all formats and sizes, as well as some games and software that I didn't know how to put on my SSD (lack of space), this hard drive started to become very slow and to corrupt a whole bunch of files every time I rebooted. It's a good thing I do obsessive backups, or I'd have lost a BEAUTIFULCOUP of files, some of them over a decade old...!
The HDD I'm using as a temporary replacement is an old 5400RPM Barracuda that's over a decade old and has no such worries. Maybe I've just been unlucky and received a more fragile model than others, maybe Barracudas are of lower quality these days, I don't know, but I think it's a shame that it only survived until the warranty expired when an old model is still going strong.Review automatically translated -

A basic hdd
a good little hard drive, not blazing fast, but fulfils its role well. I use it to store certain games and films, nothing else to add.

Unreliable SMR discs
Hard drive using unreliable SMR technology, allowing the manufacturer to drastically reduce manufacturing costs, to the detriment of quality.
In 1 and a half years, out of 10 disks that have never moved, always in the same place, no knocks, etc, I've already got 1 dead...
To put it simply, SMR technology in a hard drive consists of having the data almost superimposed on the platter, so the read head reads several pieces of data at once, and has to sort them to find out what it has read, which results in reading errors, and so the sector is reread to check, the same problem with writing, so the drive is much slower than traditional CMR drives.
CMR costs more (I got the 2TB at the same price for CMR as for SMR, so where does the extra money for the SMR disk go?) and takes up more space on the disk, so you need more platters for the same size, but the data is well separated and there are few read or write errors.
In theory, SMR disks are supposed to allow larger capacity disks, but at Western Digital, the largest capacity disks (20, 16, 24 TB) are all CMR.Review automatically translated -

It's a very good HDD at this price, the speeds are good but it's still an HDD and you're not looking to play with it but to store it.

well at the beginning
fairly short lifespan in the end: less than 3 years
bought in July 2020 and broke down with permanent loss of 30% of files in May 2023. with classic internal storage use.
bad luck or bad series? no idea but it made me take the plunge and buy a Corsair MP600 Pro XT - 2Tb which was on special offer at the time. on the other hand, the loss of files really annoyed me.Review automatically translated -

Significant slowdown of the DD after a few months of work - need to replace it
After a nominal start of use in April 2021, the HDD has seen its working speed decrease and is emitting a regular clicking noise. No error info on Cristal Disk or CHKDSK.
Only its replacement after 26 months by another disk of the same brand bought on LDLC showed that this component was finally defective and was at the origin of the difficulties of operation of my PC.
A gesture from LDLC for this rare failure (Review automatically translated -

4 years of life
Buy in November 2019 ( currently July 2023 ) my hard drive gives up the ghost.
Sometimes it is detected, sometimes not. The PC ram because of it and sometimes freezes. Noises (beeps) let me know that it is having trouble working.
Luckily I was only using it for unimportant files.
The bugs started happening about 5 months ago.
Preferably for HDDs, change them in advance every 2/3 years to avoid ending up with a broken hard drive, which avoids having to take it in to be repaired.Review automatically translated -

This record lasted exactly 2 years and 3 days - unacceptable.
This drive lasted exactly 2 years and 3 days in a low intensity RAID pair. The other Seagate drive in the pair, an older version, is from 2015 and still works. Unacceptable.

LDLC always with its eyes closed
As always I am delighted with my order from LDLC, the products, the delivery, the descriptions on the site...
I have nothing to say, I am a loyal customer and will remain so, especially as I appreciate the company's philosophy.
My only regret is that I ordered a 2TB HDD and a sata cable at the same time, and that they arrived in separate packages. It's a shame for the planet :/Review automatically translated -

Two defective sectors in the unpacking
The hard drive was received with two bad sectors as soon as it was unpacked.
The packaging is too light for this kind of fragile material.
The disk is still functional but we'll have to see how long it lasts...

Nothing to say
I have been using Segate products for years and have never had a problem with any of them, and the same goes for this HDD, the speed of the transfers is excellent. The only fault I can give is the fact that this product was delivered in a separate box from my order (I know that it came from another stock).
