Seagate SSHD vs. WD Black

Alexis92 · May 10, 2018

WD2003FZEX ( Western Digital, 2013 ) vs. ST2000DX002 ( Seagate , 2016)

I am looking to replace my current hard drive as it is showing symptoms of breaking down. ( High response time, over a thousand MS. )

Please help me choose. I would very much prefer one that is faster. I play games like ArmA 3 which renders a lot and has a long loading screen with my current hard drive , I would get an SSD but currently i don't have the budget to do so, and these 2 are my only choices.

Please do not tell me to go with an HDD + SSD combo or just an SSD, as i am not able to because of my budget ( Also in a different Country wherein it's 2x the price ), i would need to choose one that would last me long enough and anything that would be more powerful on the long run.

Thanks.

WD Black.

I had that Seagate SSHD.
It wasn't any faster than a HDD and died in 6 months.

You might consider Seagate's version of the WD 2TB black drive. The Seagate BarraCuda Pro ST2000DM009 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6.0 GB/s 128MB Hard Drive. You get performance like the WD Black with the 5 year warranty plus 2 years free data recovery service on the drive. Just to stir the pot a little.

JoeMomma :

What HDD do you have now? Any other reason why it died or did it just suddenly fail?

littleleo :

I wish i had that choice, but i'm not in the U.S so i don't have access to Amazon or Newegg. I purchase from a limited shop.

Alexis92 :

My hard drives were chosen for reliability, not speed, because I have 3 SSD's.
C:\ Intel 750 PCIe 400GB Windows
D:\ WD Red 3TB data
E:\ WD Gold 4TB enterprise class backup
G:\ Crucial MX100 500GB games
S:\ Samsung EVO 5000GB Steam

I was using the Seagate SSHD for a few months as a test in my PC and was disappointed.
Then I put it in a portable USB drive enclosure.
It was never dropped or mistreated and I hardly used it.
It just up and died with no warning.

I would like to know how you managed to alter your time stamps, so your advertising post is above my negative review of your product.
I posted hours before you did and now you are on top.

I smell Shenanigans.
