Seagate Barracuda Q5 SSD 1TB up to 2400 MB/s - Internal M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen3 ×4, 3D QLC for Desktop or Laptop, 1-Year Rescue Services (ZP1000CV3A001)

Previously I was using an HDD which had the rpm of 5400. As you can imagine it was pretty slow. Initially it was just a few random stutters here and there but the problems started occurring way more than I expected.That's when I switched to an SSD, and believe me when I say this, it has drastically improved speeds, loading times, boot up process, and any other function that requires disk usage.Q. Is it good for gaming?Ans. Definitively, ((given you have the right hardware))Q. Is it good value for money?Ans. I tried to wait out for a sale and managed to get this at Rs 5100. Your mileage may vary. But at this price segment you won't get anything better than this. There is an option to go for crucial or WD blue sticks. All of them differ slightly but the read and write speeds are best on the Seagate One.Q. How do you install it? ((Is it easy to install?))Ans. It is very easy to install. First you locate your M.2 drive slot. You remove the screw already threaded in place. Carefully take out the drive from the packaging. Insert the SSD in the M.2 slot at a 45° angle. Once it's in, slowly lower it so that you can screw it down. Be gentle don't apply too much pressure.[Try to be in a static free environment. If you don't have any equipment that you can use to ground yourself then just go outside and hug a tree. It might seem funny but it does the job.]Final review.Q. Is it worth buying it?Ans. Absolutely yes.The difference in speeds is astonishing. You'll notice it the moment you boot up.If you're looking for an upgrade, look no further, you've got it right here.Cheers. Happy gaming.

very fast

Very quick and stable.

I bought this for my Acer Nitro 5 laptop which is 3 years old. The laptop came with a 128 gb Sata M.2 SSD. I was not sure whether this Seagate Barracuda NVMe M.2 SSD will work for my Laptop, but i took a chance and it works well. The bench mark test shows 2300 MBps read and 1050 MBps write speeds. Though it is faster than the orginal Sata M.2 but i did not find any considerable change.Anyways i wanted to upgrade the storage size of C drive as 128gb was not enough.Overall its performance is good. No complaints. But should have tried the Crucial or Samsung brands.

I have Seagate Barracuda Q5 SSD 500GB as primary and WD SN 770 1TB as secondary. Copying around 260GB of data from one drive to another was completed under two minutes. Through-out the speed was almost 1GB per second. Quite impressive!Can't say how long this drive will work. My motherboard is Asus B650 Gaming Plus and it does provide two PCIE 4.0 and 3.0 port. Thank you, Seagate!

Read and write speeds are nearly as describe.Try to register on Seagate india website for warranty, but website is not accepting the serial number.

One of the best value for money product from Seagate, I thought that the ssd is not correct, then I went to computer stores for comparision, compared with WD ssd, HP, samsung, Kingston ssds. They sell sata m.2 ssd on 5000, HPs nvme ssd on 6500, what would I tell about samsung and kingston, both them are skyrocketed on prising. Also compared on online computer stores, they are little 200,300 cheap but last they include tax on it and make it more expensive, lastly thought, chalo kharid lete hai, kharab hoga to wapas ho jaega 😅😅.. But gajab gajab, best in class, used QLC nand chip, speeds are such nice, tested several times, no issues in large files transfer, speed are constant. Best 👍

Biggest issue is the screw for installation. Seagate should provide it. Don't migrate or clone os to ssd but install a fresh one beacuse if u clone or migrate u will only get 60-80% speed. Overall performance of laptop which had oy hdd previous increases by 50% and smoothness can also be noticed. If u have more budget ho for Seagate Firecuda or Baracuda 510 which will give more speed. My laptop was Lenovo Ideapad S145-15IIL. Suggestion:- If u want to know whether ur lenovo laptop will support ssd then simply schedule a call at lenovo and they will help.My boot time with hdd:- 60secs - 2minsBoot time with Seagate Baracuda:- 3.5 Sec and even less(my boot code got corrupted somehow which is easy to fix).For gaming this ssd is not too preferable but go for Samsung or Baracuda 510 or Firecuda as they are faster. But U can definitely enjoy many games in this ssd.The 500gb varient gives 2300/900mbps speed and the 2TB varient gives 2400/1800mbps.

It smooth and worked well on my HP laptop. Everything is good. Just little storage removed. But it still better and cheap than Walmart.

Excellent

Funciona correctamente, no se calienta en exceso y ofrece velocidades altas y consistentes para el rango de precio que tiene.

parfait et facile a installer

Ottimo prodotto, unico problema che arriva senza vite di fissaggio e trovarla è un altro problema. Fa il suo lavoro appena installato deve essere subito inizializzato altrimenti non viene riconosciuto dal sistema. Il prezzo cmq è onesto , consiglio l'acquisto.
