Most everyone has has owned a computer in the past few decades stands a good chance of having used a Seagate drive in their system. They've been a giant in the hard drive storage arena and are now turning their sights on the SSD side of things. Their 600 series is rolling out with the Link_A_Media Devices LM87800 under the hood which we've already seen put out some solid numbers. See how it fares on our test bench.
To start, before we even had a chance to look at the drive, Seagate advised us against opening the drive as damage would likely occur. They were spot on with that bit of advice and of course we had to give it a go - especially after the warning. Fortunately, we managed to overcome the passive measures designed to prevent tampering without too much hassle by prying the metal tabs a bit. However, in the process we mangled the back aluminum piece enough to make it obvious the innards were accessed. No damage to the fragile bits occurred and we made sure we performed all testing prior to cracking it open just in case.
