"Seagate Barracuda [-------] ST3320613AS HDD Sounds #harddrivesounds Recorded using Shure's MV88+. #harddrivesounds #tech #asmr #nostalgia #shorts --------============-------- The Barracuda [-------] series is very easily Seagate's most infamous. While the 14th Barracuda generation had a particularly rotten apple in the ST3000DM001 Barracuda [-------] had rotten apples across the entire tree. Not a single model was exempt from at least some hatred for the series. The infamy of the series itself comes primarily from firmware bugs which bricked the drives and made them unusable if the user was unaware"

"🌱 Sounds of the WD Caviar Green WD10EADX #shorts #tech #asmr #trending #harddrive Yes this is ANOTHER Caviar Green. Bear with me.

Like its cousin WD10EADS it spins [--] platters at [----] RPM (there's that so-called "IntelliPower" for you) while using [--] heads to offer a single terabyte of capacity. While it may not have the same level of performance as WD10EARS/WD10EARX it doesn't excuse the fact it's still slow as molasses compared to other drives of the time even being slower than Caviar"

"The modern Seagate scrutiny of low-cost hard drives. #shorts #asmr #tech #trending #harddrive At first you may think "oh this is a SkyHawk surely it's better than Barracuda right" but in fact there's more to it. So yes these do use the same HDA as lower capacity Barracudas (ST1000DM014 and the single-platter variant of ST2000DM008) and some SkyHawk models even use SMR rather than CMR.at least this one isn't one of them. The issue lies in build quality something that is a subject of concern in these lower cost Seagates since these drives have the potential to crash rather easily if the user"

"The most common Seagate "Grenada" drive one could find. #shorts #asmr #tech #trending Grenada saw its debut in the 14th generation Barracuda family some of which were labeled "Desktop HDD" much like the drive shown in this Short. Lower capacity drives like the ST500DM002 were instead for the most part refreshed Pharaohs although that's not to say there weren't 1-head Grenada variants of them as well. The Grenada family of Seagate drives were in a very odd position at this point. The ST3000DM001 took upon itself the courage to be massively unreliable and that may have even rubbed off onto"

"The most infamous HDD of all time. #shorts #asmr #tech #trending #harddrive Yep she's a beaut. Despite how unreliable these drives are these are actually some of my favorite sounding IDE drives when the bearings are in good shape. IBM's ceramic motor bearings are oddly satisfying to listen to although perhaps not for those who have fallen victim to a 75GXP failure. Even if these are Deathstars they still have a place in my heart. I'm quite lucky this drive is not only in good shape but also has the updated Deskstar firmware which enables preventative wear leveling (sound familiar). Although"
