Review on 💾 Toshiba DT01ACA050 500GB 7200rpm SATA 6GB/s Internal Hard Drive - Reliable and High-Speed Storage Solution by Alvin Sia ᠌

I took it for 1000 from my hands with a range of 300 hours / 70 inclusions, the production date was almost 20 months before purchase. Smart by registers 01, 05, 07, C4, C5, C6 by zeros. There were errors in C7 and other small, not significant ones. After connecting, there was a strong general hum and a stable sinusoidal, sooo annoying. I accidentally discovered in the BIOS that I have it connected to the sata3G connector instead of sata6G, of which I have only two on the asus microATX motherboard. sata mode in ahci. After the reboot, the sine wave disappeared. Apparently, the disk tried to spin up, rested against the limitations of the controller and slowed down cyclically. In general, now you can live. The general rumble remained, I’ll try to stupidly put it inside on a rubber anti-slip mat for phones in the car without screwing it so that it doesn’t transmit further to the case. I don’t know if it’s calibration or mechanics. Temporary WD with bads (given away for free, but I installed until there is no replacement for the dead Seagate) is quieter.
