Seagate BarraCuda Q1 480GB 2.5" SATA3 Internal SSD

I was looking for an extra SSD for my home server, found this one at a decent price. No regrets, runs fine... now, my server is able to transmit skynet files - only a few more years before it'll fully release judgement day globally, just hoping the Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 (T-800) wouldn't screw it up though. Anyway, here's the pros and cons.

Pros:
-Cheap SSD
-Reputable brand, decent warranty
-Black Colour (easy to match)
-Runs Crysis

Cons:
-No cache (it's a cheap SSD, don't expect one) I was looking for an extra SSD for my home server, found this one at a decent price.

Got for a friend's birthday, and it absolutely smashes the old Seagate HDD. Wish I had bought one for myself too! Got for a friend's birthday, and it absolutely smashes the old Seagate HDD. Wish I had bought one for myself too!

Without anything on the SSD except power at idle it showed approx. 8 to10 Degrees C above 2 HDD's and another SSD? The reading didn't change regardless of the ambient temp.

I have bought couple of these SSDs and it is good and easy to use, and haven't experienced any issue yet. In terms of performance, it is quite good and I cannot tell the difference in comparing with Samsung 860 500GB SSD. The only downside is the 480GB capacity as 500GB would be nicer. However, for this price, there will be certainly no problem at all. I have bought couple of these SSDs and it is good and easy to use, and haven't experienced any issue yet.

I purchased this SSD for my old Desktop , startup speed has improved even though I had to use freeware to clone my W10 HDD to it . easy to install.
good service from the Albany store , Sales rep was friendly and price checked the item to make sure it was the priced I expected. I purchased this SSD for my old Desktop , startup speed has improved even though I had to use freeware to clone my W10 HDD to it . easy to install.

I fitted this Seagate Drive into a Portable Caddie to use externally as an additional Hard Drive and is just what I was looking for and highly recommended for this purpose or used internally if required.
