Description

The Memory Center is the ideal storage solution for large amounts of data. Photos, movies, and music files have plenty of space on the 3.5" hard drive. 

The glossy plastic casing looks classic and fits well on any desk. Want to quickly transfer large video and music files from your computer to an external hard drive? No problem with the Memory Center.

The hard drive can achieve 10 times higher transfer rates than hard drives with USB 2.0. Read rates of 85 MB per second and write rates of 75 MB per second ensure fast data transfer.

High Capacity - High Speed

Due to its large disk space, the Memory Center is suitable as a backup solution for all your important data. It can be permanently connected and regularly synchronized with your computer or Mac, so no data is lost anymore.

The hard drive is ready for use as soon as it is connected to your computer via a USB cable. The Memory Center is powered by an external power adapter. The hard drive can be turned on and off via a separate switch, so it only connects to the network if it is in use. Active data transfer is indicated by a blue LED light.

    I have bought it several times due to its very good price per terabyte. However, I always strip it from its plastic construction and use it either as an internal or external drive, but with a different USB connection board and NOT THE FACTORY ONE. As many people write, it mostly contains a Seagate Barracuda disk. It is quite fast (7600rpm) and can withstand continuous downloading until it is full. But in general, it is for storage and ALWAYS after removing its casing and the USB connection board. The disk comes formatted in FAT 32.
    The steps I would suggest are as follows:
    1. Make sure it works before voiding its warranty.
    2. Strip it from its plastic and the USB card. Not the disk itself, the USB.
    3. Connect it internally to a PC (preferably to the SATA controller on the motherboard), delete all partitions, and reformat it as GPT in NTFS. Quick format is also fine.
    4. Write it with some files.
    5. If you have a docking station or a USB board for Seagate/Toshiba Canvio.E external drives of equal or larger capacity, then connect it. Optionally, download the Seagate tools and check it.
    6. The product is worth its money for the disk it contains. The same disk is found in more expensive Seagate external drives. There, you pay for the name, the USB board, and the software.
    Those of you who have written it without stripping it from its board should transfer your data to another disk as soon as possible. Personally, by writing it as it comes from the factory, I couldn't read it in any way as an internal or with a different board from a reputable and more expensive external drive.

    It was purchased for permanent storage of some data, but in the end it is being used permanently on a PC for torrents, etc. It is quieter and -4 degrees compared to the previous one, so they probably installed a different disk inside. It has never bothered me. It has been working perfectly for 1 year

    With sadness, I noticed that it has SEAGATE ST5000DM003-2FH18L. During backup, the temperature remains stable at 39-40 degrees. I have lost data in the past with a Seagate drive and I have always had WD or TOSHIBA. The 3TB I have for the last 3 years is INTENSO with TOSHIBA - flawless. I hope the 5TB turns out good... As new, it keeps losing data... it keeps asking for formatting... wasted money...

    Three broken discs in a span of 3 months and lost a lot of work data. I don't know what to complain about first. No, definitely not.

    The disk inside is a Seagate ST5000DM000 - 5tb - 5900rpm. It has decent speeds for its price. 180MB/s Read - 150MB/s Write in sequential Crystal Disk Mark.

    It is not the best internal/external HDD in terms of quality/reliability/speed, but it has a very good €/TB ratio.

    As soon as it arrived, I ran the typical surface scan and SMART tests. They showed it was OK. If any issues arise with its reliability, I will update in the future.

    The glossy external surface is a MAGNET for fingerprints and is not easily cleaned.

    The first one I had made a noise like something had broken inside the disk and it was moving up and down as I turned it upside down, so I returned it and got another one. The next one had no apparent problems, but after careful use (no drops, and it was only plugged into the power outlet and USB port when in use, etc.), it simply stopped working after 4 months, as if it wasn't receiving power (there was no clicking sound, no noise at all, it just wouldn't turn on). It's still under warranty, but what can I do? I had 4TB of data stored out of the 5TB capacity. And even when it was still working, it was noticeably slower than comparable top brands and had some other issues with indexing/partitioning that are more specialized and don't concern the average user. I have 9 external hard drives purchased over a period of 12-14 years from various companies, mainly Western Digital, and none of them have ever failed without a drop of at least 40 centimeters, and I checked them all a month and a half ago. However, this one was the exception, especially since its price has dropped from 190 euros to 150 euros in the 4 months that I've had it. Coincidence? You decide.

    The price-performance ratio and characteristics of this disk are amazing, with the only downside being its power supply cable which is a bit thin and appears fragile. Otherwise, it is a very good disk. Before this, I had an Intenso 2.5" 1Tb for at least 5 years and I was very satisfied, the same goes for this one after 1 year of use.

    I have 2 of these for three months and they are amazing!!! With 15gb files, I achieve a writing speed of 170mb!!! I use them every day and never had a problem. I am very satisfied :)
    The only negative thing is that the power LED is at the back, I would prefer it to be in the front, but it's not a serious issue
