March 3, 2019

I installed the firecuda in my ps4pro, it was easy and perfect for making my ps4pro super fast now!!! With it being a hybrid SSHD!!!it's an amazing upgrade. And by super fast, I MEAN very very fast!!!! Thank you so so much!!! VERY MUCH WORTH my money!!! I have 2. One internally and the other externally. My ps4pro is basically a ps4.5!!! This will definitely hold me over until playstation 5 releases

The WORST thing about this product are the negative REVIEWS.
July 18, 2020

When reading product reviews, I usually check the unfavorable reviews, first, to see what the biggest issues are with the product. With this drive, I found negative review after negative review where the buyers' primary complaint seemed to have something to do with them believing they received the WRONG product!

First off, the models "ST500LX025" (500GB), "ST1000LX015" (1TB), and "ST2000LX001" (2TB) are the model numbers for the NEWEST version of the drives. Amazon isn't shipping out the "old" version. The "Z" part of the model number seen on the packaging has to do with the fact that these drives now come in a basic brown box, instead of the colorful retail packaging.

Also, the FireCuda line is now called "Compute" (see Seagate's website and product manuals to confirm), so receiving a drive that doesn't say "Gaming" does not mean you got the "wrong drive", it means you got a more recently-manufactured drive with an updated label.

None of those... read more

Says new version, but you will receive the old version. Sluggish.
March 26, 2020

I was led to a screen saying there was a newer model. I bought that one, going off the model number, and received the old model number. Not sure if this is new old stock or something. Kinda feels sketchy.

The drive is not fast. If you leave it for 5 minutes it has to spin up again. If you go between folders with lots of pictures, it is so slow it will say it's not responding for a few seconds, then it will slowly start loading.

My computer is an MSI, with the OS running off an SSD, and my computer is fast and well maintained. The problems I am having are definitely the drive, not my pc. This will be replaced with a SSD and made into a backup drive I won't need to use everyday.
