I'm running five of these in my virtual storage pool (Windows Server 2016 storage pool) for my home server, four months so far. One drive developed two bad sectors, a reformat mapped them out. Maybe in another six months I'll trust them as much as the WD Red drives they replaced - until then all my volumes are three-way mirror, and I have offsite backups. Temperatures are low, of course - a main advantage of going to 2.5" drives. And these are pretty much silent. Not the fastest kid on the block - no surprise there. Still, I see less impact from SMR than I expected. It's interesting to note that the external version of this 5TB drive contains the exact same drive. Everything except drive serial number is exactly the same externally, as well as firmware and any other params I could inspect with HD Tune. At the time of writing the price for an external drive is 119 vs 189 for this internal version. Of course, pulling out the drive from the external enclosure voids any warranty, so it's really a question of how much the warranty is worth. Will more than one out of three drives fail during the warranty period? UPDATE 8/17/2018: All five drives have been running well since January. I wiped and reformatted them back then before redeploying. I have a spare drive but am not bothering with hot swap as uptime is not critical for my home server - I can accept a day's downtime if a drive fails hard. These little drives are performing as well as can be expected. Raising to five stars. UPDATE 12/16/2018: It's been a year now for most of my drives. Still running well. One drive has disconnected from my SAS card twice, hard to tell if it's the drive, card or cabling. In the process I got to see how well double redundancy works - the storage pool didn't even flinch, no downtime, no readonly mode, just rebuilt redundancy using free space on other drives while on single redundancy for a few hours. I ejected and reinserted the disconnected drive, and everything was back to normal again (albeit a bit unbalanced free space).

An easy install and great value, the drive performs well with short file copies between the Barracuda and an SSD (Hynix). Note it IS 5400 RPM, NOTE IT IS 128 meg CACHE. These are key factors in your drive purchase, performance vs. battery life. I've found it to be especially efficient with file or file selects under 2 GB for copies between the drives on the same laptop system. File copies and backups via a 1 gb network connection work great most of the time, and the read/writes are over 60 meg/sec write via the network to another 7200 RPM drive (WD Blue WZEZ), even 100 meg/sec to a (boot) SSD on the network. Expect the benchmarks to be correct, value at a good performance rate. As stated smaller transfers also have great burst over the 1 gb network, with less than 1.5 Gb copying in under 6-10 seconds. This drive does well on smaller copy transfers than larger files due to its 128 meg cache. It's a great second system and backup drive for an SSD (boot) drive based system, on a laptop or desktop. This isn't a workstation drive unless you work backups (Win 10 File history is FAST, as is Win 7 type backup), in which its value speaks for itself. I'd recommend this drive based on price and performance for all things considered. AS-SSD benchmark is reported as 130 meg/sec read, 120 meg/sec write on 4k transfers. It's consistent with other tested benchmarks for the same drive/model. 5 stars, not to mention I have a successful history with Seagate products! TC

This Review Is Specifically For The: "Seagate 1TB BarraCuda SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 2.5-Inch 7mm Internal Hard Drive (ST1000LM048)" It's Fast For A 5400 RPM Drive But I Think It Only Works With USB 3.0 Or Above Cables... I Have 2 USB 2.0 And An Enclosure And It Won't Work At All With Them.... Fortunately, I Also Bought A StarTech USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable At The Same Time And It Works With It Just Fine.... It Also Works Great Installed In My Toshiba Satellite C655 Laptop (It's Ultimate Purpose Of Course).... NOW - Keep In Mind ALL Hard Drives/ Disk Drives Can Fail... AND If They're Going To Fail, They Usually Fail Within The First 6 - 9 Months Of Regular Use... SO - Back Up Everything For The First Year Or So On ALL New Drives.... (Actually, You Should Be Doing That Anyway All The Time...) If The Drive Lasts Longer Than 9 Months To A Year, It's A Good Chance The Drive Is Fine And Will Last The Normal Mean Time Between Failures Of Something Like 800,000 Hours Or So... BUT Keep In Mind, Anything Can Happen.... ALSO NOTE - THE DRIVE COMES BLANK - They All Do As Far As I Know..... I Don't Know If You Need To Format It Because The Recovery Thumb Drive Did All That Good Stuff For Me Automatically.... I Installed It In My Laptop And Inserted The USB Thumb Drive Recovery Thingy I Made Following Toshiba's Instructions... It Took A While But Not Too Long (Naturally, We're Talking Like 13GB Here For Windows 7 From A USB 2.0 Thumb Drive...) And I'm Back To "Out Of The Box" New Again, Except With A Ridiculously Large Drive....LOL Old Drives A 300GB.... I Don't Know About Warranties Or Fakes Like Some Reviews Are Talking About, But Mine Has A Green Label And Came Sealed In A New Looking Anti-static Pouch...

Ordered six of the 5TB variety back in June 2017. They're all members of an Intel RSTe RAID 5 array. I'm not certain if it's the Intel RSTe RAID or the drives, but they seem very very slow for what the specifications of the drive are. Slow I can live with, unreliable really bothers me. Less than six months in, one of the drives threw up several bad sectors. I marked the drive off as normal so the controller would rebuild the array and fix any parity errors. It took a little more than 24 hours for that to happen, but it succeeded. Then I told the controller to verify and repair. Again, a little more than 24 hours, but it was successful. Then a few hours after that, the troubled drive just stopped functioning completely. Currently waiting on Seagate to see if they're going to give me a new replacement, a refurb replacement, or nothing at all. Three stars because when they work, they work and the capacity is nice for the small form factor. I feel like I can't come down on Seagate too much, because at this point when you buy a hard drive you should know what you're getting into - nothing is guaranteed and luck of the draw seems to be how it works. Update 01/23/2019: Dropped to 1 star because the reliability is so poor with these drives that they are not worth the time. I always a very recent backup of my data, so data loss was not an issue for me. Though, without the backups, I most certainly would have lost something. Had six of them, with 5 active in a RAID 5 array and 1 assigned to be a hot spare. The final straw was having yet another drive go bad on me only to find out the hot spare died as soon as it was called into action. If you need to have even mediocre reliability, these drives are likely not for you.

Why I ordered this item: My old drive in my desktop was making some funky clicking sounds so I figured I'd swap it before it died completely. Wanted something with a decent amount of storage for game installs and photo backups. Likes: * Capacity is no joke. 5TB is a ton of room and I've got it loaded up with games and my whole photo library with room to spare. * It fit right into my 2.5 inch bay without any adapter nonsense. Just screwed it in and plugged the SATA cable in. * Windows picked it up right away and had it ready to format within a minute, no digging around for drivers. * It's a 5400 RPM drive so it's not going to touch an SSD, but games still open in a few seconds instead of a slow crawl. No likes: * It's a spinning drive so you can hear it working, especially when a bunch of files are transferring at once. Kind of a low hum/click combo. * Transfer speeds tank once the cache fills up on big copy jobs, you can watch the number drop mid transfer. Would I pay full price for this product: Yes Final thoughts: This is a straight up storage drive, nothing fancy about it. I wouldn't put my OS on it but for bulk storage it's great.

OMG. So delighted to get this product 2 days in advance before the Mon. Jan. 26th, 2026 delivery date and before the big winter snow storm Fern. Product and specifications were exact and compatible with my Eufy S380 Homebase storage system. The 2.5" dimension fit perfectly. I was somewhat cautious as it did not come with any screws to secure to the internal tray of the S380 Homebase system, but low and behold, this hard size snaps into the internal casing and doesn't move or shift upon inserting downward into SATA Slots. There is no need for the hard drive screws as 1.) The S380 doesn't come with them and 2.) The 2.5" drive snaps into the designated HD tray. Great idea with not having to mess around with tiny screws. So far it's been 4 days since receiving and installing and I'm very happy overall. Drive is quick, super quiet, and using the Eufy app very easy to format and begin continuous recording or setup for multiple recording events. Not sure how the seller got this product to my home in lightning time, but I'm not complaining. Kudos and shout outs to receiving my order, expediting so quickly, and delivering way ahead than I expected. Would definitely purchase from this vendor once again. I have 4 devices connected to my S380 homebase system and now thinking about some internal cameras to monitor if not home.
