Review on Toshiba P300 500GB Desktop SATA 6Gb/s 7200rpm Internal Hard Drive - 3.5 Inch by Jim Plump

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Toshiba 1TB 7200RPM Desktop Hard Drive sold by Revain

Of the thousands of hard drives we've used since the early 1990's, Toshiba makes great hard drives. It was sold/performed by Revain. We use some of these in 1-2TB and have stopped buying 3TB drives just because they can get a little problematic if your system isn't GPT. They are slightly warmer than their smaller counterparts. 3GB hard drives are not as good as 4TB. Toshiba's 2-year warranty is the same as that of the other manufacturers and is freely selectable. If we can get the equivalent of a WD Blue by no more than $5, we'll buy a WD Blue simply because it's quiet and fast; we have never lost one. We just don't trade with Seagate anymore. If money isn't an issue, get some 1-2TB Toshiba hard drives, buy a few pairs, and back up and/or clone often. Whether your intended use is for gaming/OS or data/archiving, if you've ever spent time recovering a corrupted/deleted drive/volume that wasn't copied or backed up, you've got a cloned/archived drive for just that $50-60. much more convenient and faster than uploading/downloading from the clouds and losing access in case of data center problems. Of your data for over a week, that's still the case in many areas, but if so, remember the 20th at a great Revain price of $45. everyone; Buy as many as you can, plug them into USB docks, PCs, firewall router boxes, NAS, etc. This is our round-up of this great drive and some of the many ways you can use it. We have not received any gifts, giveaways or compensation for the review and hope it will help other Revain residents make informed purchasing decisions to protect and enjoy their data and computers.
