Seagate ARCHIVE 8TB HDD review 3

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/19/2016 09:35 AM [ 17 comment(s) ]

We review the Seagate ARCHIVE 8 TB HDD. Though SSDs are the thing to purchase these days, if you need massive bulk volume storage then you'll need a HDD. We are not disappointed at all in regards to price and value for money.

Does it make annoying chirping head parking noises like pretty much all (if not all) newish Seagate HDDs?

If this drive gets used correctly it shouldn't matter if it farts a couple of times per day let alone chirp.
This drive if people don't know is meant for infrequent data access and/or long term data dumps. I use a ton of them at work for our dumps for projects that have long been not needed. And my 20ish of them don't chirp. Not to nuthug Seagate or anything btw. I have tons of drives from WD, Seagate, and HGST.

I've had mine for 6-7 months now. It does chirp every hour or so. I have mine to never spin down. It seems to do it much much more frequently if your room is cold 65 F or below

got five of these in a raid5 configuration for a little over a year now and no failures or issues so far. performance wise, they are only so-so, but seriously, for storage, NAS and big files, these drives are fantastic.

it's seagate... but doesn't mean it will fail at all... it's just the noise.
