If you want to buy a 500G hard drive, which one is better

What I am using now is Seagate 500g single chip capacity 250g 32m cache Very good You can buy it **Around 420 1t of about 800.

About some people's opinions, it may be a problem with the firmware version written on the table** Some firmware versions are not very stable To avoid this problem, you can first look at the firmware version on the platter** and then search on it If there is a problem, there will definitely be a bunch of scolding, but the recent ST hard disk does not seem to have a similar problem It was half a year ago.

I wish you the best of luck in your purchase.

500g is cost-effective and ......It is a good choice for ......

Hitachi 500G 7200rpm 16M (Serial Port 3 Year Box) 380 Seagate 500G 16M (Serial Port 5 Year Box) 440WD 500GB 7200 rpm 16MB (Serial Port GP) 415 Overall, Seagate has the best performance, and Hitachi can be cheaper ......

Many people report that the Seagate 500g hard drive is very noisy, even when the program is not running, it is still rattling.

I didn't believe it at first, but two days ago, I went to the Science and Technology City to help a friend install the machine, and I saw someone take the Seagate 500g to the merchant to exchange the goods. It can be seen that the vast majority of Seagate's products have problems.

It is recommended that LZ choose carefully, and recommend buying in the near future: Western Digital, 400 blocks for 500g, 780 for 1t.

Seagate's is good, but when you buy it, you still have to ask him seriously whether it is a single or a double film.

Generally, the single slice is thinner, and the double slice is thicker.

Both have their pros and cons, the single hard disk has a faster read speed, and the double hard disk has a longer service life. That's it.

It's up to you to see what you need.

Seagate Barracuda 500g

Two slices. If you want to pursue cost-effectiveness, you can choose Western Digital or Hitachi.

Buy Seagate's. There are good and bad sayings about word-of-mouth. I'm a technician at a computer company, and I've always used gold diamonds, which are Maxtor gold diamonds, which is not bad.

But a few years ago, the gold diamond was acquired by Seagate. I switched to Seagate, and I feel that Seagate's is better than other brands. **Slightly more expensive than Western Digital, Hitachi, and other brands, about 20 yuan.

I think it's okay, I've been using it.

I use the Western Digital cache. More than 500 pieces. It feels good.

1. The storage capacity is different

The storage capacity of a 500G hard drive is 500GB, while the storage capacity of a 1T hard drive is 1000GB, which is equivalent to the storage capacity of two 500G hard drives. However, it is worth noting that the storage capacity indicated here is based on the calculation method of the hard drive manufacturer, and usually reduces the storage capacity by about 7% after installation on the computer.

2. Different:

A 1T hard disk is usually more expensive than a 500G hard disk, but in the case of the same manufacturer and model, it will not be much higher, and the general production is about 20%.

3. The number of discs is different

A 500G hard drive is made up of two platters, and a 1T hard drive is usually made up of 2 platters and part is made up of 1 platter.

You can choose different hard disks according to different needs, if you need to play games and read fast, the system runs smoothly or the notebook is always used on the move, then the SSD is more suitable; If you need a large amount of storage, then an HDD is more suitable.

The difference between SSD and HDD: First of all, in terms of appearance, HDD is larger than SSD, so it is heavier than SSD, and secondly, in terms of price, SSD is much more expensive than HDD. In general, desktop computers basically use mechanical hard disks.

The application range of SSDs is wider than that of HDDs, which play a very important role in the electronic world and are highly valued by industry insiders, while HDDs are not as flexible as SSDs. At present, the largest capacity volume of SSDs is a very large difference between the two when measured in terms of terabyte capacity compared to HDDs.

The internal components of the HDD are more complex than the SSD, and there are motors and fans that the SSD does not have, so the SSD has a great advantage over the HDD in this regard, and the SSD is much quieter than the HDD when working. In addition, in terms of power consumption, SSDs are also lower than traditional HDDs.

In terms of the important read and write speed of hard disks, the read and write speed of solid-state drives is higher than that of mechanical hard disks, generally about 2 times higher than the speed of read and write capabilities, SLC only has a read and write life of 100,000 times, and the low-cost MLC has a read and write life of only 10,000 times, which has no advantage over traditional hard disks. Another important point is that the solid state drive is used inside the chip of flash memory particles, and the mechanical hard disk is to store the data in the disk sector, when the problem of collision occurs when used, the solid state drive can minimize the possibility of data loss, compared to this mechanical hard disk is much worse.
