User questions & answers

Question:	Usb 2.0. Support
Answer:	When I use it, I feel its heat dissipation function is good, it won't be very hot.
Question:	What is the warranty? i can't find any info on it at seagate except that there isn't a warranty via seagate based on the serial number i entered
Answer:	Hello,It can be used as a boot drive, but the PSSD needs to be connected to the USB2.0 interface on the computer.Thank you.
Question:	Can you use this for PS
Answer:	USB ports are charging only. Not a hub.
Question:	How many hours of music can this hold
Answer:	I have two WD Mybook 10TB HDDs and they act oddly, too. They vary between 130MB/s to 30MB/s for no known reason on a dedicated USB3.1 port. NO other drives are in use other than the NVe 128GB internal drive on Win10home 64bit system. Either HDD can start at 130MB/s and within seconds be bogged down at 30MB/s for 5 minutes at a time...briefly go back to 110MB/s, then right back down to 30MB/s. This is while transferring files from the internal NVe drive to the MyBook HDD. It may be cache management that is perhaps screwing around with the drive I/O. Either that or there is some "wear management" going on in the HDDs and it is alternating between PHYSICAL inner and outer tracks on the drive. Typically as you fill-up more of a standard HDD, the MB/s decreases and it can be significant...but this happens even when these MyBook HDDs are brand new, with no new added data as yet. My lower capacity WD HDDs (1TB and 2TB) attached via a Wavlink HDD USB3.0 docking station do NOT act like these higher capacity drives. They have consistent and as expected I/O speeds typically exceeding 120MB/s.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why does taking the sticker off of the 520 void the warranty
Answer:	Hi, Please check the below link for warranty void list for more information: https://www.seagate.com/support/warranty-and-replacements/void-warranty-checklist/ Kind regards, Dev Seagate Support.
Question:	My computer has a usb 3.1 port, will that be compatible with thunderbolt
Answer:	No. Thunderbolt and USB 3.1 are different formats. And if you got an adapter, you would create a bottleneck effect on its performance and end up causing slow access and transfer speeds
Question:	Can the hard drive be replaced easily (opening the enclosure) in case it fails
Answer:	That depends on what you are referring to. Its usually not difficult to install a new Hdd, Though that depends on your ability to work with Tech. That being said, if the drive fails, it would be replaced, not opened. So, in summery, installing new drive, not difficult. Opening the drive... not possible for most. And not advisable as the chances of success are nearly nil. Good luck
Question:	What is the rpm
Answer:	From the description: "Ideal for consoles, gaming laptops and mini PCs, FireCuda SATA SSHD hard drives feature SSD performance and HDD capacities. Enjoy 7200 RPM speeds" I doubt they'd include the part about consoles, gaming laptops and mini pcs if this was for the 3.5 version.

User questions & answers

Question:	My pc has a i7 8700k with 16 gigs of ram with a nvidia 2080 graphics card and already has one of these 1 tb ssd in it. Cab I install 1 more
Answer:	Almost certainly yes: you may need to purchase a cable to connect it to the sata port on the motherboard, and go into the bios to update the settings and ensure your primary drive remains the boot drive
Question:	Does this come with free cloning software
Answer:	I think so (on their website), but you seriously shouldn't be purchasing any WD Green storage options anyway. Sequential write speeds on them are famously low. I just got a new Samsung 970 Evo drive and it's literally 10x faster than this Green SSD.
Question:	What's the difference between this an a wd blue ssd? furthermore, would this be ideal as a boot drive on a desktop pc
Answer:	Performance and longevity, the Blue is faster than the green and has a higher endurance rating (lasts longer). WD Green is essentially the economy line, which tends to also use less power, thus being an ECO line. I wouldn't recommend the green line unless web-browsing and office is the extent of your computer usage. The Blue has 5 times the endurance rating, 400TBW vs 80TBW, which is enough of a difference alone, for me.
Question:	What's the difference between this an a wd blue ssd? furthermore, would this be ideal as a boot drive on a desktop pc
Answer:	All the negatives of a WD green HDD, brought to you in SSD form! But you are saving $11 ☹️

Question:	Where can I get windows 10 drivers for this drive
Answer:	Because the drive does not come with an OS, you need to install it. Here's what you need: a blank flash drive of at least 8gb and a spare laptop. All you have to do is download Microsoft Windows 10 creation media from their website onto the flash drive (it'll ask where you want it to be downloaded to) - once that's done, insert the flash drive into the computer with the new hard drive and it'll take it from there.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used with an iPad
Answer:	Hi, The Seagate hard drives are designed to be compatible with most major Windows and Apple Mac computer systems and was not tested on anything other than those two operating systems so its uncertain whether the drive will respond to the iPad. When using a Seagate USB external drive with something other than a desktop or laptop computer, Seagate recommends consulting the manufacturer of your device to understand what limitations may exist. Here are some common limitations: Format restrictions - NTFS, HFS+, Fat32, etc Capacity limitations - max capacity may vary by device Power Requirements - may require a drive that gets power from a wall outlet Partition type requirements - MBR vs GPT Feature limitations - some USB ports may not be compatible with external hard drives. Sector size - 512 vs Advanced format drive (4K) Kind regards, Dev
Question:	Can you verify if this device has a unique deviceid, aka device instance path, via device manager
Answer:	Yep shows up on screen as seagate
Question:	Why is it so slow on larger transfers? ie. 40mbs when writing more than 4gb
Answer:	Hello, Transfer speeds can be affected and be directly impacted by various factors. For example, such factors include: - File type - Size of file - Port versions - Services enabled - Computer configurations - Programs running in the background We mention these factors as a manner of suggesting the variables that can affect transfer speed. We would suggest you consider such factors and see what may be applicable. This can explain possible performance issues.

User questions & answers

Question:	So, how fast is this actually, in comparison to an average SSD
Answer:	If you’re using it on a PC, a regular SSD will pretty much always be noticeably faster. On consoles a this will give about the same load times on games once you’ve loaded the game a few times(due to the consoles not being able to fully take advantage of a SSD’s speed), in order for the drive to store frequently accessed files onto the flash part of the drive.
Question:	mb or 64mb cache
Answer:	According to the datasheet, this new drive has 256MB of Cache
Question:	What’s the difference between this “newer model” and st2000lx
Answer:	Doesn't seem that there is much of a difference except a "refresh" of the tech.
Question:	Will this work in a PS
Answer:	I put this into my PS4. When loading missions and such in Destiny 2 I have been loaded in about 10-15 seconds faster than my friends since installing. The drive went bad after 1 year and was replaced under warranty.
