Greetings, happy evening, I am writing for the following a couple of days ago I bought this version of HDD but 8tb disk Seagate FireCuda Gaming Hub External Hard Drive HDD 8TB - USB 3.2, Customizable RGB LED lighting, Dual forward-facing USB for Desktop PC with Rescue Services (STKK8000400), but but .......everything was fine I saw the Seagate icon in My Computer, perform the installation of your tool and synchronized the RGB and all good, I was on the pc from 11pm until 02: 30 AM and during that time it disconnected a couple of times, then gave a little noise and after that no longer recognized the hard drive on my computer, I tried to try it on other computers and all told me the message "USB device is not recognized" even when I had the updated drivers, even when in device manager in the Disk drives appeared segate disk with updated drivers and still did not recognize it, in the same way in the Disk Manager it appeared to me totally blank and without being able to allow asiganación in fact it threw the window Initialize disk with the message Initialize a disk so that the Manager of logical disks can have access to him, I selected disk 2 which was the option that threw me with the following Use the following partition style for the selected disks, MBR (Master Boot Record) and GPT (GUID Partition Table) I chose one of them first with MBR and I got the error "A device that does not exist has been specified" message that threw me the same way with the GPT option and with the Unknown Disk 2 icon uninitialized and totally blocked because it did not allow execution of formatting or disk allocation, and this took me so for those hours, I have not got a solution to this and therefore I have not been able to solve this fault ..... Any recommendation? answer? help? Greetings from Caracas Venezuela@@WootDini

Thank you! Cheers!

@@WootDini Thank you so much, please keep doing great things :)

I got a big SSD and I had to make it my main hard drive and move Windows too. That's because the mods and custom content had to go in the "Downloads" folder in "My Documents" on the C:\ drive. As an external hard drive it didn't work for me.

Did you get a reply?. Showing I did not reply which is odd. Switched account to brand so I'm hoping it did not delete my replies 😕

@@WootDini secondary drive! It'll probably be for photos, programming, school stuff, etc Which should I get for that ? Should it be internal or external? Cause for primary it should be for games right ? Maybe I should move my programming stuff to the primary as well

@@WootDini If you could, that would be awesome😎🙂👍, just so I'm not risking to break my console, thank you so much😁

I try answer all questions:) Yea no issue at all. It won't affect the file at all

Hmm that's very low still. Do a check on the drive itself. Try run crystal disk to check that the slow speed is in fact from inter HDD transfer

@@WootDini ah thanks for the advice, gonna look for seagate barracuda

Does not work. Toolkit brings up no rgb options at all. Nothing. Your video is absolutely worthless. You're tons of help.

@Wootdini does it save the color you chose so the next time you plug it in, it goes to that color everytime?

@@WootDini I did that yesterday I left it running overnight. Now its not detecting the hard drive anymore.

@@WootDini unpacking zip files in the same folder and drive where it is downloaded. The average speed is about 25 MB/s.

@@WootDini STKM5000400 seagate latest expansion portable hdd 5tb Versus your review Firecuda Gaming Portable Hdd 5tb. is ~40$ more worth it ? beside RGB and Rescue warranty, is there any different in spec like sustainable write/read speed performance, cache ada raw speed in real world test ? is there any significant / slightly speed drop if 90% space is occupied with file/data ?

@@WootDini thank you 🤓

@@WootDini Yes, it is plugged into Netgear Nighthawk router. I had previously used it as extra storage on a Win10 and MacBook--connected directly to each separately back and forth.

Heya It won't increase your laptops performance. It will take strain off the main drive which may increase system response, but the device is not something that increases performance

Have an RGB party my friend !

@@WootDini thank you!!! it arrived and i could back up about 4000 of my RAW snapshots in 5 minutes!!! what a BEAST!!

@@WootDini what do you mean lock the drive?

@@WootDini I searched some forums earlier and found confirmation from people who bought to shuck. And found non Firecuda drives inside. I don't see how the performance could be the same if Firecuda is a SSHD drive. Maybe yours has a Firecuda inside but seems that's not the case with some. Weird and a bit foul on Seagate's part.

@@WootDini Hey I just realised you were using Crystaldisk. It shows the HDD as BarraCuda 5TB. So not a Firecuda. Very weird...

@@WootDini Thank You!

@@WootDini thank you so much 🤩

@@WootDini ☺️🤩

I ordered one of these today😁

Heya. So I'm pretty sure I replied here but YT deleted all my comments. So if you need any help, please make a new post so I can pick it up. Soz copy pasting this as I have 1000s of notifications that comments were not replied to.

Heya. I think so but depends on the price of a 1000mbps (into USB 3) portable SSD. The SSD would be more efficient but if there is a huge price difference (which there should be) this is a good product still

$50 is incredibly good

How lol???

@@kjmullinz Not sure if they made a mistake with the pricing or what happened, but it was a steal at that price. Should have bought more and sold them on ebay.

damn that's a hell of an offer. I got mine that went from 240 to 150 bucks, not as good deal but it's going to carry my cloth simulations on god.

@@WootDini bro whats the status

Hey. Portable yea of course

@@WootDini how do you do it

Hey how do you mean ? You just need to keep it plugged in

@@wootcomment like how do increase my storage on windows

@@WootDini thanks. I manually added it with the Autostart method and now I am happy :)

I have on of these for my ps5, they are too slow for running games directly off of, you can only use them for stroring your games, which is exactly the reason I purchased it for anyways.

@@WootDini yes

@@WootDini ok Nice are you going to review

Did your work for the PlayStation 5? Mine says it doesn’t satisfy the conditions for it to be extended storage

@@gtslade22 Yeah. Mine went in no problem. You just can't play games from it. It's for storage only.

@@joshuariddensdale2126 did it work with PS5 games?

@@gtslade22 It did, no problem.

@@joshuariddensdale2126 have you tried ps4 games via ps5 with it directly? But, I guess we don't need to do that, we just set those un played games aside in the hdd. Then reinstall(transfer) later.

@@WootDini well yes it works really good frost time I 🔌 in it’s 💯

Yes really good thing

@@WootDini I seem to find some of them being marked like 7200 RPM drives, but actual write/read speed does seem to be identical. They tend to be bigger in size, like 4 TB. Maybe it is wrong value or something to do with how bigger drive needs a faster disc to retain speed/write rates? In general, manufacturers are very shy of giving me any actual information about their hard drives. While RPM seems to not be important and all write/read speeds for decent quality drives seems to be about the same. I was concerned at first, because I had bought a cheap laptop which had great GPU (950M), best CPU which I could afford for a price range as it was seriously low budget I had for a laptop. i3 was a high end chip and a lot of options did not even had that. However, manufacturer cheapened out on hard drive and RAM (4gb). It had cheap 5400 RPM one and it was very painful to do anything on that laptop. When you loaded a game, I had memories of how slow it was and I thought that it should take ages to load anything. I tried playing a strategy game, Dawn of War 2: Retribution. It took so long to load a game that match already started for a whole minute... It is nice to see that it is not longer a problem. Though, I saw another reviewer comparing hard drives and he was using a drive which only managed around 80 MB/s write/read speed, so this one is almost twice as fast. There seems to still be a difference between the absolute worst and best HDD on the market.

All these comments are popping up saying I did not reply. Not sure what's going on :(

@@WootDini Probably youtube messed up something from their side. :/
