Model overview based on user reviews  
The Seagate BarraCuda Compute 2.5" hard drive is generally well-received for its quick loading speeds and affordable price. Users appreciate its compact size, making it suitable for laptops and other small devices. However, some models, like the ST4000LM024, have been noted for a high noise level due to vibration, which can be bothersome. The ST2000LM015 model has mixed reviews, with one user experiencing a complete data loss, while others praise its quiet and fast performance. The ST1000LM048 is highlighted for its value, though there are concerns about frequent head parking, which is typical for laptop drives. Overall, the Seagate BarraCuda Compute 2.5" series offers a range of capacities and generally reliable performance, but potential buyers should be aware of the noise and data reliability issues reported by some users.

Two such disks were chosen because of their compact size and were expected to have a lower noise/vibration level (Already had a 2.5" Toshiba 2Tb 15mm super quiet disk). Got a noisy one, felt like going back to the past. Why don't manufacturers indicate the level of vibration?

High noise level due to vibration — hell of a hum, and this is a 2.5" drive

After 2 months, SMART started showing that 888 had dropped, and an hour after starting, it simply stops initializing. I'm going to send it in for repair, it's disappointing for a hard drive from an expensive brand.
