Unhappy 3/9/2013 11:18:11 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5	Rating: 1/5Cheap - bad quality Pros: Fast while it lasted... Cons: I did not buy this from Newegg - I got this in an iBuyPower budget gaming desktop... I guess it IS budget... This was my 4th month of ownership - and out of nowhere when booting up this "HDD" just started making some noises, Windows explorer would not see it, I rebooted PC, which was somewhat slow (although my boot drive is luckily an SSD not this HDD). WIndows Explorer sees it now, but HD Santinel says it detected 74 bad sectors and remaining lifetime is 78 days and suggests I backup important data... So - based on my experience - DON'T buy this.

Yoman 3/8/2013 11:22:04 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5LOUD Pros: Reads/writes most of the time Cons: Whenever I would attempt to transfer files >40gb the drive would just stop working in the middle of that operation. Reading the drive was never a problem with noise but when writing, it sounded like a ten year old hard drive and you could hear every tick. Windows installed fine but later on i got errors when installing programs. Started telling me that certain files could not be written. Other Thoughts: Bought an ssd and everything worked great.

Sal 2/10/2013 9:46:11 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Good while it lasted Pros: Speed was pretty good Cons: It worked great until 5 months it started to click it would take a long time to load my files and programs I tried to return it but Toshibas website wont recognize the serial tried to call support but so far no success Other Thoughts: Overall I wouldn't recommend this hard drive to no one 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

N/A 2/9/2013 6:51:29 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5	Rating: 5/5So far so good! Pros: Easy install and quick setup with SATA RAID 1 on Intel MB. QUIET!! Good price. Cons: None so far. I will report back if I have any problems Other Thoughts: A pair of these replaced some 4 year old Samsung drives. Samsung drives were in good working condition, but replaced on schedule in accordance with our HD replacement timeline. These Toshiba HDs are 1/2 the noise level of the Samsungs and it is noticeable. 26db vs 29db Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
