![]() So, we assume that we may work with Maxtor STM3500320AS drive as with the Seagate F3 architecture, Wyatt family drive.įirst of all, connect the terminal as for the Seagate F3 drive and open it in the Seagate F3 utility. Seagate drives have the same model that belongs to the Wyatt family. This fake Maxtor drive has the STM3500320AS model number. Seagate F3 (did you really think it was Maxtor?!).Samsung Trinity, M8E family (not Seagate).Samsung Trinity, M9T family (yeah, you were right).Hitachi ARM, 7210DLE6 family (not Toshiba).It may sound crazy, but the drives shown above are: Before starting the data recovery process, you should define the family and architecture of the HDD you deal with.įor example, try to guess what vendors and families should be selected for the drives listed below. Will you pass this test? Each vendor has several architectures and families of drives with their unique features. ![]() The drive itself comes without any applications and is truly plug and play – at least on Windows 11.A great variety of hard drive manufacturers exist nowadays. Note that the pictures are actually stored on the drive itself. Unlike most competitors, Mylio can accommodate a maximum number of photos (50,000 for that tier) and you can connect up to four computers (but unlimited mobile devices) to it. The drive comes with a three-year warranty and an assortment of trial services: 6-month Mylio Photos subscription, a photo cloud storage, worth $50 and 6-month Dropbox Backup plan, a popular cloud storage service, worth around $48. ![]() I didn’t detect any significant rise in noise under load and the Ultra Touch didn’t feel warmer to the touch when transferring files. > Want another option?

In real life though, a 10GB mix of files and folders took around 74 seconds to be transferred which is roughly 137MBps which is a bit faster than the 2019 Backup plus at around 130MBps. ![]() Writes varied from 129 to 137MBps while reads hovered around 140MBps on average, depending on what software was used. There’s no real surprise in store during the test: I used five benchmarks and it was a mixed bag as there is no real innovation (other than the Type-C connector) compared to the previous external 5TB hard drives. New technologies like HAMR or Helium are reserved for more lucrative markets like data centers where the need for smaller 2.5-inch hard disk drives is non-existent. There’s not much hardware improvement that can be made as there is little to no incentive to invest in R&D. What I wrote four years ago is still valid large-capacity portable hard drives have reached a plateau. Three things that are notable about this drive are (a) it is thicker than average (15mm) thanks to the extra platters it carries, (b) it is more expensive than external hard drives that use it: $129 when we last checked on Amazon (c) it has a two-year warranty whereas all Seagate external hard drives have three-year warranties by default. At the heart of all the six 5TB portable hard drives sold by Seagate is a 5TB Barracuda internal HDD, the ST5000LM000, which spins at 5400RPM and has a 128MB cache. I reviewed one from Seagate, the Backup Plus, in 2019. (Image credit: Desire Athow // Future) Hardwareįor the past six years, 5TB has been the highest capacity reached by traditional hard disk drives in the 2.5-inch category.
