Seagate 1Tb Internal Solid State Drive Review

I recently got a SanDisk 1TB SSD (Solid State Drive) and used a drive cloning device to clone my old 1TB Hard Disk Drive (HDD) to the new SSD. It works wonders in my 15 year old computer! It really speeds up drive-related activities, perhaps as much as 3 or 4 times faster. I think my old HP laptop computer is either a SATA or SATA II type, so I suspect those with a SATA III system would see even better speed results when going from a HDD to a SSD. Gotta love it!

(Please note I did NOT say a solid state NAS drive.) Seagate NAS drives provide great storage capacity, in a standard-sized package, and they're designed for NAS. Highly recommend.

I purchased this product to move the Windows virtual machine that I run on my MacBook Pro under VMWare Fusion off my internal storage because I was running out of space on the laptop's solid state drive. While I haven't run benchmarks, it appears it to start up and run the Windows apps as fast (or maybe only very slightly slower) than from the Macbook's internal solid state drive. It is an excellent product for this application.

If you are installing an internal Solid State Drive to your desktop computer, you'll need this SATA wire unless you are able to scavenge one off another attached device that you no longer use. It attaches to the back of the SSD (or other SATA device) and to the mother board.

Solid state drive worth it.

excellent little solid state drive - and powerful

Works with Seagate BarraCuda 1TB SATA HDD P/N 2GH172-021. The HDD was a 2nd drive in a laptop that died. The USB 3 SATA III drive adapter cable gave me the means to retrieve my data from the dead laptop.

My older Seagate FreeAgent 1TB drive is working fine, however, I thought I had better have a new one ready to go. What a great replacement when the time comes. Less than half the size in footprint and of course much faster. This drive is very portable. I was able to plug it in and use it without any fuss whatsover. I appreciate the color (red). Will be easy to identify.

I have been using a WD 1TB black for almost 4 years now. It's almost full so I needed another drive. That's when I came across this SeaGate 2TB 7200rpm drive that offering the same performance as the WB with twice the capacity and less price. Seemed a bit to good to be true. So I started googling about it for reviews and user feedbacks. It has got mixed reviews, some good some bad. But mostly good. So after 2 weeks I finally pulled the trigger on this. Once I installed it on my system, it didn't show up in Windows partition manager or in BIOS. I just booted into the Windows 10 installation drive and found it visible in the Windows installation drive selection window. Just formated it from there and restarted my PC and all it going great so far. Also noticed that this drive is a lot slimmer than the WD Black drive I have. S.M.A.R.T shows both the WD and Seagate at the same operating temps 33 degrees. It does make a slight noise when I boot up my PC, after that it's silent. I keep my PC powered off when I'm not using it. Using this drive as the second backup to my WD drive. Max fine transfer speed was shown as 200MBps. This is my first Seagate drive. Happy so far.

I use this to transport my Seagate 1TB slim hard drive, although it's a little bigger than what I needed. The Seagate is only 12mm thick so anything 13mm+ in thickness will work perfectly. With this I can transport my hard drive around with out being worried about damaging it.
