Review on ๐Ÿ’พ Toshiba MG07ACA12TE: High-Capacity Enterprise 12TB Internal HDD for 24/7 Operation by Stanislaw Glusinski แ Œ

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The right product for me, the price suited me.

Continued from Alex E. In the photo, you can see the disc + packaging of this disc, as it was sold in one well-known chain of stores. You see a plastic case. There were no fillings, no adhesive tape, no extra nonsense for you). A new server drive must be sold in a sealed anti-static bag! I had doubts and I went to the manufacturer's website . Toshiba.Com/myapps/admin/jsp/webrma/addRequest1NoLogin. Jsp and entered the disk's serial number. 2022 (pictured) - 2022 (release date on disc label) = 2 year warranty (2022-2022), not 5. The disc is not new, but "refurbished" (refurbished by the manufacturer). On the label 2022, and the warranty ends in 2022, instead of 2024. The disc was used somewhere in 2022-2022 I went to the site wrote them an email and received a csv file: - WarrantySource; TransactionDate; ExpirationDate; WarrantyPeriod; ToshibaPartNumber; SerialNumber; CustomerDENumber; ProductStatus; In/Out By Sales Office data;18.06202222;17.06202222;24.0; HDEPW11GEA51F;59E0A0T1F95G; P0U4GC51289308; Normal; IN Summary; In; Out; Nodata; Duplicate; 1;0;0;0; - Official answer: warranty - 2 years. So - the disk is "refurbished" (almost new, but not new). Well, ofcomurse, the sellercomnvinced me otherwise. Look at the screen with smart test: G-Sensor shockcomunter - 1 (external impact on the disk) Disk shift - 6 (shift of disk pancakes due to external influence) Look in the characteristics for what external loads this disk should support. Once the external impact sensor worked, the impact was decent. It can be put more simply: the previous owner dropped it), or fixed it very, very crookedly in the server rack and received the first shock from the vibrations. The manufacturercomnsidered this acceptable, but did not want to give a 5-year warranty again. Ofcomurse, you have the right to think that it was I who hit him against the wall. Conclusion: is it necessary? when you can buy guaranteed new and with acomnvenient manufacturer's replacement guarantee.

Pros
  • Quiet. I was wrong about the noise. I mounted it to the desktop like a regular drive. The case apparently amplified the sound, and quite significantly. I put the disk on the case now and it is not audible. Here is a recording of how the drive itself works.
Cons
  • Toshiba warranty only through the disc seller. You will not be able to ship a broken drive directly to the manufacturer. Dancing with the seller provided.
