Where?
I negged, because i didn't know why you just wrote $97, would have helped if you wrote $97 was best price before or something like that.
(Tried to revoke , but couldn't now)
Because you never give the context for the price. At least say something like “it’s been $97 before” or “I got it for $97 a few months ago”. It’s like if I went into every AirPods deal and commented “$99” because of the eBay deal. Everyone would assume it’s that price now and want to know where
He is joking guys. Where is your sense of humour?
If that's a joke then he needs to work on his delivery…
He says it on every portable HDD deal. He might be trolling rather than joking
The 4 TB silver for $127.57 too, good price if you don't need the 5TB
plus $10.3 delivery for me.
Is this a good drive for storing games/movies etc or should just be used to back up windows and documents?
The speed of these portable drives are 7200RPM or up to 120MB/s.
The drive inside these is a Seagate ST5000LM000 5TB BarraCuda 2.5" 15mm SATA3 5400RPM
Nevertheless, they are good drives in my experience, I have one of the older version (same drive, slightly different enclosure) and no problems so far.
Also have 2-3 of the 2TB (shucked) and a 1 of the 4TB, same style drives, all have been good so far, some are now 5-6 years old and still going strong, as standard storage drives.I guess it must be one of the better 2.5" SMR hard drives.
None of my four Backup Plus 5TB from 2017-2018 (different case design from current ones), containing ST5000LM000-2AN170, have shown any SMR characteristics. Yet these are SMR if you go by Seagate's CMR/SMR table.
It'd help if decent review sites started testing HDDs again. Just can't be sure if these are as good as or worse than my old 5TB portables.
Unsure of difference (may be the internal spinner is different), but the Seagate 5TB was listed cheaper:
