I've been using the Seagate backup plus 4TB portable (SMR) for more than 2 years. As time goes by (after numerous write operations), its performance degrades. However, there is a way to refresh the hdd.
- Read/write speed (USB 3.0) on day 1 was about 14x/13x MB/s
- It's being used for scheduled daily backup (update mode, with add/change/delete operations)
- After a few months, the write speed reduced to 9x MB/s
- Quick format the hdd, read/write speed was back to 14x/13x MB/s
A quick format (in less than 10 secs) is good enough to refresh it! I did that once every 6 months (about).
While the Seagate USB controller was bad (died prematurely), the ST4000LM024 4TB SMR is good (so far). It works fine after putting into UNITEK Y-3363 |
