Seagate STEA2000400

Advantages: Speed, design, price.

Disadvantages: Not found.

Comment: The speed is very good, beautiful design.

Advantages: Stability, works everywhere, including in several TV set-top boxes without additional power.

Disadvantages: The box crumbles.

Comment: Since hard drives are checked for a long time, and for the most part they are about the same, I rate it quite critically. I don’t have any complaints about the work, but I put a minus for the external case. The box is not strong, unpleasantly "pressed through" when pressed. The protrusions of the "diamond" instantly begin to scratch on any surface. I believe that for this you can remove the score, because for this price you expect a more or less "status" thing, which will not deteriorate if you put it on the table.

Advantages: Works without add. power supply.

Disadvantages: Not yet detected.

Comment: I use less than a month, while there are no complaints.

Advantages: Compact, convenient.

Disadvantages: Not found.

Comment: Works smartly. Problems with connections have never been.

Advantages: quiet
cold

Disadvantages: not

Comment: Powered by zyxel keenetic giga 2.
Torrent, dlna on 2 telly, for all it is enough.

For some reason they didn’t leave the plant to sleep.
I had to put a dream myself when idle for 30 minutes.
I managed to do this with the Seagate_Dashboard program.

Advantages: What I expected, I got it.

Disadvantages: Short usb lanyard.

Comment: No problem connected to a laptop, TV. I did not measure the data transfer speed, but everything suits me, high-resolution films, when connected to a TV, go without “brakes”. The heating is quite small, barely palpable with the palm of your hand, the vibration is felt only if you put your hand on the disk, respectively, no noise.

Advantages: Light.

Disadvantages: Not yet noticed.

Comment: Good disk. For 2 TB is quite good. I have CrystalDiskMark issued:

Advantages: Appearance, memory size.

Disadvantages: Not.

Comment: It is worth every penny spent on it. Quickly records information. Great device for your money

Advantages: 1. Lightweight
2. Write / read speed (if you have USB 3.0 on your device)
3. Design (to each his own, but I'm correct)
4. Able to "fall asleep" without disconnecting from the computer / laptop and quickly wakes up when prompted

Disadvantages: Virtually no, except for the "cones" of the hull. After some time of use and carrying with them appeared scuffs on their ends. Not at all annoying, although noticeably at a certain angle. But for me personally, this is not critical at all.

Comment: Perfect drive for your price. But for 2 months of work, no complaints about the work of the device. If there are problems - I will make adjustments to the comment.
