The content on the RAM drive is then deleted. robocopy is used with default arguments to mirror it onto the storage drive under test. The test starts off with the Photos folder in a RAM drive in the testbed.

Performance numbers are typical of what one might expect from a 5400 RPM hard drive, with peak performance close to 150 MBps for the 5TB Backup Plus Portable and around 135 MBps for the 2TB Backup Plus Slim. We can see that the Seagate Backup Plus external storage drives do support NCQ and UASP.

This assumes that the host port / drivers on the PC support UASP. If the numbers for the two access traces are in the same ballpark, NCQ / UASP is not supported. The plain '4K' ones are similar to the '4K Q32T1' except that only a single queue and single thread are used.Ĭomparing the '4K Q32T1' and '4K' numbers can quickly tell us whether the storage device supports NCQ (native command queuing) / UASP (USB-attached SCSI protocol). The plain 'Seq' traces use a 1MiB block size. The 'Seq Q32T1' sequential traces use 128K block size with a queue depth of 32 from a single thread, while the '4K Q32T1' ones do random 4K accesses with the same queue and thread configurations. Internally, CrystalDiskMark uses the Microsoft DiskSpd storage testing tool. Two of the traces are sequential accesses, while two are 4K random accesses. Real-world performance testing is done with our custom test suite involving robocopy bencharks and PCMark 8's storage bench.ĬrystalDiskMark uses four different access traces for reads and writes over a configurable region size. CrystalDiskMark is used for a quick performance overview. The testbed hardware (the Thunderbolt 3 / USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port enabled by the Alpine Ridge host controller in the Hades Canyon NUC) is reused. That's thanks to one's reasonable expectations of a product's usability & lifetime.Our evaluation routine for hard-drive based direct-attached storage devices borrows heavily from the testing methodology for flash-based direct-attached storage devices.

Oh, look! Here's someone who says I should buy 2x4TB HDDs and use only half of that because the other one is just to make copies of my files, all while SPENDING TWICE AS MUCH ON THE SAME SHIT. There are 3rd party recovery services as well. Then you never would have needed expensive recovery services. Their plan is to sell super cheap hardware, then make tons of money off recovery services that cost an arm & a leg.Hard drives fail. decisions for people you hate, buy them Seagate hardware. REMEMBER: If you frequently fix computers and make I.T. Good design, too bad it's Seagate hardware. I'm done with this company and it's problematic producs they don't stand behind. Have multiple other drives lying around here.

A Seagate HDD? No thanks, I still remember how they asked me for over $1000 in order to recover data from a 7200.14 2TB Barracuda that literally did nothing but sit in a case - all less than a year into warranty (they also asked me for the serial in order to invalidate the warranty with me on the damn phone - I can't believe it to this day I've been through this nightmare with Shitgate!). 18637390 said:DaglesJ and Thudervore have just read my thoughts.
