cool video, just missed some central points on disassembly partially the p10... is not shuckable cause the connector is on the pcb. Both are SMR, and i had bad experience with seagate brand so my advice... better the p10. Ah i prefer much more usb micro-b than usb type c... is much more solid and usb type-c will not bring any performance since disk speed are 130MB/sec in every case.
@@diaakukita my passport ultra use typec connector over usb 3.0.... so is just the connector, micro-b is also usb 3.0. No difference. Performance is basically the same, around 115-130MB/sec.
Surprising speed results, the wd black is supposed to be a high performance drive and possibly with a hybrid cache. since you can't use the full speed from usb I wonder if it's false advertising
I also runed the test multiple times to make sure the results are correct , in my experience you can get higher speeds on hdd only with a server / nas hdd lixe Exos Series for exemple or similar larger capacity HDD (8TB+)
Very big thanks for this video. Here in Vietnam we cant buy any internal 2.5 5TBs, so my only option is to but either one of these two and take out the drive. So I would have liked to see how they preformed as external drives direct on a SATA port. Thanks anyway.
pay attention that this is a bit thicker , reason why you only can find this format up to 2TB is because bigger than this won't fit into a laptop for exemple . Laptop accepts @7mm this is @10mm
You had to clearly show to people that western digital are still using the usb port soldered to the drive pcb. they won't listen these people. I always warn people to say well away of their drives.
I had no ideea at the time , was afraid to open it up all the way as it looked as it would breake , I am a bit disapointed of wd , I don't see any reason why they would do it like that , maybe they have some cost gain , no ideea , when I find time and nerves maybe will open it up all the way
Hi Alex. I'm having problems with my WD P10 gaming 5T external HDD powering up and staying on. When i push the connecter to the side it powers up and when I let go it loses power. What should I do? Can I fix this myself? The Data on it is very important to me. Thanks
I want to add a 4 or 5tb 2.5in drive to my mini ITX build which has very limited space. I was hoping to see the dimensions of the Seagate drive. Thanks for the video.
hi, thank for the video! Do you think that p10 has drive with standard sata connector inside? Like that Seagate. I ve seen some external drives which have non sata interface just stright plate with usb 3.0.
Hello , sadly the P10 is like you described with no sata interface , just opened it up again as I have not seen anything like this . So Segate is the way to go if you need the drive inside , I was thinking trying to put this inside Xbox or Playstation , not sure if is enough space tough
@@constantech4342 "I was thinking of trying to put this in Xbox or PlayStation". I'm sure you've already tried it by now, but for anyone else reading this later, the Seagate drive wouldn't fit in a PS4, I believe the maximum height of a 2.5" SATA HDD for PS4 is 9.5mm. The 4TB & 5TB Seagate drives are 15mm tall. So 2TB would be the maximum capacity for a HDD in PS4, for more you'd need to go with an SSD. Cost-wise it would probably make more sense to go with a 1TB or 2TB SSD internally and use a larger external HDD like the Seagate or WD drives in this video. Best of both worlds as you get the speed benefits and can easily move games back & forth. Personally at the end of 2020 I swapped into PS4 a 1TB Crucial MX500 SSD and moved my existing 1TB HDD into a Orico USB 3.0 enclosure (now in use as 'extended storage' for games). I did also recently pick up a 4TB Seagate One Touch, which seems very similar to the model in this video, but that's going to be used as a general backup drive for PC etc. I haven't tried connecting it to PS4 yet, but the default formatting was exFAT so you could _probably_ connect it to PS4 too (without reformatting).
Hi. Thank you much for your video. May you say which one quieter and has less vibrations/ clicks sounds? Need one for home rec studio so it`s important for me.
I see this comment most likely too late , but I have not noticed much difference between them , most important put them on top of some foam the click should not be loud enogh to be picked up on mics , and they mostly come when you first acces the HDD , once it is spinning I don't really hear anything , but to be fair I would better sugest an SSD , I got some Crucial M2 with 4TB at around 160 euro some time ago
Hi Alex, after your experience with both HDD, do you think that is better the Seagate or the WD? Which one is faster in your experience or provided you best results? Thank you!

Are wd black p10 bad?
Thanks for sharing the video
you did not void your warranty, it doesn't matter what Seagate says, the Magnusson moss warranty act applies.
Why would you not remove the drive form the WD, that's the only fucking reason i am here
It does not have sata conector , directly the conection for USB . I would have remove it if it was build to be removed , didn’t wanted to break it
They're thick for a 2.5" drive. Defiantly won't fit in a laptop.
Thanks for the info and review.
