The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

I paid 8990R on Ya. Market on March 23, 23 to purchase it.
PS: For those who don't know or care, I attached the disk to Sata 2 even though it was designed for Sata 3 (supposedly there it can exhibit its full speed potential).

A comparison chart of the current cheapest 6TB drives available on the market is attached to the reviews. Yes, I "slightly" overpaid, but I made the decision based on how long it had been since a failure. The Seagate ST8000NM017B - 8 TB would have already been mine if it had cost the same $12,000 as it does right now.

When I connected this hard drive, I restarted the computer 20 times in an attempt to boot into Windows from the SSD (of course, everything was connected correctly and I booted to my SSD through F8 and the SSD went first in Boot, even though it was assigned to 1 interface). This behavior may have been a coincidence or a poltorgeist. The issue vanished after I formatted it into a file system and partitioned it into three disks. Perhaps as a result of the light flashing at home a few days before to the purchase, and I'm not sure what went wrong with Windows. The network card mysteriously stopped receiving data packets in the same way; only "restoring to the Windows state point" worked.

Pros

1. There aren't any of the noises mentioned in the reviews of this hard drive—no whistles, no crunches—at all. 2. 7200 RPM (should operate more quickly than the same file-washing disks on 5400, conceptually) 3. Similar models have a service life of 2,000,000 hours (of course, they won't work for you for 180 years, but they do look trustworthy; see the YouTube video regarding the time to failure).
