My main desktop is iMac 2017 comes with a 1.03TB hybrid hard disk, I took it apart and added a 512GB SSD; my main notebook is the eighth generation of Xiaomi game book, slightly DIY, stuffed with three hard disks, 1 piece of 1TB + 2 blocks of 512GB; originally felt that the capacity has been very large, but ~
But with the continuous increase of information in the computer, the space is still not enough, so I want to buy a mechanical mobile hard disk as a warehouse disk, after all, the mechanical hard disk is cheap and big bowl, such as today's protagonist, Seagate Ruiyi 4TB mechanical hard disk is only 600+, this is 4TB, think of 2011, my 1TB Seagate mechanical hard disk are 900+, sighs ah!
After unpacking, the content is relatively simple, just a data cable and a hard disk. One end of the data cable is USB 3.0-A, the other end is the USB3.0 Micro-B interface, I don't know why there is no Type-C interface, is the power supply factor considered? There is something to know that can be told.
The appearance of Rui Wing is still relatively tough, the performance is a classic oblique texture, not fingerprints, and the sense of business is more sufficient.
The back is also oblique texture, and the nameplate is like a waistline, simple and neat.
There is a micro-hole LED indicator at the edge of the hard disk, and the Micro-B interface of USB 3.0 is close-up.
Although it is 4TB, the overall thickness control is not bad, much shorter than the coin.
The weight is only 224g, and it will not feel cumbersome when traveling, on the contrary, 4TB can hold a lot of things.
First put on the Win computer, seconds to identify, displayed in the disk management tool, the disk has a hidden space, here should be Seagate's TOOLKIT tool or firmware and the like.
Habitual hard disk to hand to see the health and power time and the number of times, the hard disk is only powered on 10 times, the total time is less than 1 hour, perfect!
Taking advantage of the empty disk, first run down the speed, CrystalDiskInfo Shizuku Edition shows that read 138.56MB/s, write 134.56MB/s, for mechanical hard disks, this speed is still very good.
After the actual test, the writing and reading of large files and multiple files can basically be stable at 113MB/s, which is close to the speed of the test.
Because I also have an Apple computer, I often jump between win and Apple, so I have to try to see if I can write files on Apple, directly identify after accessing the hard disk, and there is no problem in reading and writing.
The write speed is also very ideal, basically stable at about 115MB/s. Why can my USB stick write normally on the Win system, but it can't be written on Apple? After studying it for a while, I found that it was originally a file system pot, and the U disk grid into exFAT can be apple win all eaten. This 4TB Seagate Ruiyi mobile hard disk is also exFAT format, learned a trick ~
Next, I thought, can I use this hard disk to expand the PS4? There are many free games on the outer service, and the hard disk space that comes with PS4 is simply not enough, and it is troublesome to disassemble and replace the hard disk.
Attach the hard drive to the PS4 and find the peripheral device from the settings - the USB storage device
Find the connected hard disk, select it, you can start formatting the hard disk, and use this hard disk as a PS4 expansion disk.
After the expansion, the original 500G PS4 suddenly became 4.5TB, which was crooked.
The free game of the external service can be downloaded, here is a reminder to ha, if it is used as a PS4 expansion disk, this mobile hard disk will be formatted into another format, the data inside will all disappear, and then, the formatted hard disk on the PC can not be directly read, so it is best to buy 2 pieces, a piece of daily use, a piece hanging on the PS4 body.
Oh, there is a point forgot to say, seagate home of the TOOLKIT tool is very easy to use, you can automatically back up data, business, office people are very practical, whether the computer modified the file or in the hard disk modified the file, only the hard disk access to the computer, will automatically two-way synchronization, no longer have to worry about messing up the file version.
Finally, there is another very critical point, which is data security. In fact, the hard disk is not so easy to break, our desktop computer hard disk, some used for more than ten years will not be broken, but not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, Seagate's hard disk comes with a data rescue service, in case the hard disk is broken, you can contact the after-sales free shipping back to Seagate Laboratories, after the rescue is successful, data encryption and then return, this is very good. You know, my company before a 500GB mobile hard disk is broken, contacted a professional data recovery company, spent more than 3,000 to restore about 85%, so that the official 3-year warranty and 3-year original rescue service is still very valuable!
Well, that's all there is to it, let's talk, do you prefer to use a mechanical hard drive to store data or prefer to use an SSD to store data?
