I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

To be honest, I'm surprised by the negative reviews. I bought two such disks for a home computer, combined them into a RAID0 array (Linux, mdadm), got one disk 2 TB in size and twice the speed of a regular disk, I've been using it for the second year, I'm happy like an elephant. The program says that the total read / write speed: 312.6 / 211.6. No failures were observed.

Pros

- good speed: 156.3 Mb / s read, 105.8 Mb / s write, average access time - 5.58 ms, tested through GNOME Disk Utility, there is a screenshot; - quiet, you can't hear the disks behind the case fans; - reliable - it has been working for two years in ~18 hours a day mode and not a single broken sector;

Cons
