So how many more stories of these drives being absolute garbage do we all have?
Of all the drives I’ve ever owned. From Hitachi, Maxxtor, Seagate, Western Digital and others…this is the only one I’ve had that died. Apparently this is a trend with these particular drives?
This one is currently a paperweight
My 4tb barracuda just maxed out at 5MB/s for some reason. It only lasted a year.
I transferred some data from one PC (Nvme SSD) to another PC over the internet last night which was a 4TB Barracuda drive and managed to get sustained speeds of 100mbit/s. Made short work of I think about 50GB of data.
Would’ve killed for those speeds in the Limewire days 😂
