I took it to replace the second disk in my laptop. I tested the Victoria surface. Graphically just a zebra. Even 20 year old wheels look much better. I think this is a consequence of the SMR recording method. When copying several files to it, larger than 3 GB, the recording speed drops from 80 Mbps to 5-10. In the task manager, you can see that the disk usage is 100%. I think that the write speed of the SMR disk itself is low, and when the 128 MB buffer does not pull out, the disk simply goes into a stupor. For video files, this is not so critical. When buying, in principle, I expected some problems, but unfortunately there is no alternative to 2TB, without SMR. This disc definitely does not pull 5 points, but it deserves 4. As the main one, I definitely would not buy it.
