I was surprised by the quality for this price.

despite the heating, the disks of this series are reliable - they work for years, which has been personally verified many times. according to the manufacturer, this is achieved by the fact that the disks are tested during production and are immediately rejected
Its pros:
the main advantage is reliability; at the same time, a large volume of 2 TB with a large cache of 64 MB; while the disk is fast
Has cons:
during prolonged operation there is heating - just in case it is desirable to put cooling

Pros: -Quick - Relatively quiet -Reliable Its cons: Potentially problematic sectors appeared on one screw. Happened after the server overheated. Removed - just scoring the HDD with zeros and re-formatting.

It makes a click when turned off - it can frighten those who have not encountered it at first. I took it for a media player, so, naturally, the sound of work with the movie turned on is not audible.
