Toshiba DT01ACA100 / HDKPC03 1TB 7200 RPM SATA3/SATA 6.0 GB/s 32MB Hard Drive for Mainstream Use Review

I took it at the beginning of August 2022. At the end of June 2022 everything works fine. Doesn't knock, doesn't vibrate. I have coolers installed on all trains. There are no complaints.

2 years running. the noisiest part in a computer. I'm going to change. and use this one to store information separately from the system. did not have time to change for 3 years, started to fly out of the system (Windows did not see it) after checking 3 clusters at a speed of 600 wds wd3200bpvt-00hxzt1 3 ​​clusters at 200 and 10 years old.

Diving into this product today.The disk died after a year of use, exactly by the time the warranty ran out. True, there was no hum, it worked quietly.

It has been working since the winter of 2022 almost 24 hours a day (I don’t turn off the computer), and everything is fine, excellent hard for my money

Serial number 83KE8TBNS WK7 Clicks immediately when turned on. Do not buy this model, the risk of getting a defective hard drive is high.

The usual "workhorse" for a budget car. The Crystal Disk Mark showed a read/write speed of 209/205. As for practical recording, DVDrip 1.36Gb (1 file) was recorded in 15s at an average speed of 97mb/s. Well, and finally about the noise, everything is not so simple here. I tested it in two cases. In my quiet system unit, it was quite clearly audible, but when I put it in a regular case (whose owners did not bathe with silence), it was not audible at all against the background of the rest of the…

Different pros: The advantage of this model is the price, it worked for more than 3 years and is stable Some cons: He worked for more than 3 years and for the last 2 years he has been emitting a hum and strange fan operation.

Some pros: The price/quality ratio is excellent. Small heating. Reliable enough. Different cons: Some of the discs chirp a little even when idle. Which is not fun.

The disc was bought in the summer of 2022. The problems started in the winter of 17/18, now I'm thinking of changing it. It buzzes and rattles like hell at startup, not so much buzzing all the time. It became scary to turn it on, and it's also hard to sit and listen for hours :) Load jumps up to 100% appear. Has some pros At first it was quiet, although people swear. Worked, in principle, for several years. It didn’t fall without warning, but has been sending preliminary signals for a couple of

With this hard drive, the system lost a lot of speed. An old drive from another company and a smaller volume was noticeably faster and quieter, although the vibration was not as strong as that of Toshiba. Having hung the disk on elastic bands, the vibration was still felt and was perfectly noticeable by ear, a very unpleasant rumble. In general, such a disadvantage can affect durability. I did not take risks, I wrote down the information on the old screw, this one is for replacement.

The performance is normal, the temperature is also within acceptable limits, but the noise from it is simply unbearable, and can be heard anywhere in the room. Vibration is also felt when touching the system unit. The hum is somewhat reminiscent of the sound of a CD spinning at 24-32x speed. Installing this hard drive through rubber pads improved the situation somewhat, but not to the usual level. In principle, if it is the only disk in the system, this will be enough. It works for me in tandem

As for reliability, I can not say anything, while it works and there are no problems. For those who care about the absence of vibration and low noise in operation, it is better to pay attention to 7200 hard drives manufactured by Seagate. Different pros: Inexpensive, the most affordable in its price segment, without auto-parking heads when idle, but the hdparm command is processed, WD gives an error on the command to disable parking. The ideal condition of the surface of the plates, there are…

I immediately took 2 identical ones - for myself and relatives. There are no differences - both are still quiet, relatively fast (despite the small buffer - 32 mb versus 64 for competitors) and SMART is clean. The truth is nothing at all - 3 months, let's see what happens next. Threat. I took it in 2022, now it's 2022, the warranty has expired a long time ago, but both still work, no noise, no complaints about smart.

We bought 4 identical systems at once. Inside these terabytes. The first three wound up without problems, and clicks "surfaced" on the last one! Judging by the reviews, they are massive, and end with the death of the disk with all the ensuing problems. Now we don’t know what to do: take it to diagnostics - so it doesn’t always click, and SMART is clean, and there are no glitches yet. And what to do with the first three - so far, it seems, they don’t click, but if they die, it will be a complete

We bought a few pieces for the server for file cleaning a la backups once a day. As a result, after a few hours of work on the new server (fsp power supply, msi mother) fell off and was not seen by the system (2022 datacenter) or how. Only a reboot helped. Because of this, I had to give up. Installed the same disk in the home file-storage on freebsd. And she loses the disk just the same. When loading, it swears that the smart is bad, although there are only 7 thousand hours on the disk and the…

Sometimes I feel that I was very lucky with this hard drive, because in the reviews of all these disks have already died, oddly enough mine still passes all the checks without bad sectors and anything else. Its only drawback, given the year of manufacture (already 2022), is its noise, but in my situation (like many others), a processor tower or a video card on three turntables will make much more noise than a miserable screw . After about 7 years of work, he gave up, the number of broken…

I've been using this for six months, so far I have nothing to complain about. I know that knocking defective discs sometimes slip through this model, but it usually turns out almost immediately, and mine was not one of those. I store video and work files on it - everything opens in an instant. Provided, of course, that you disable head parking in the OS power settings. But if this is not done, then any disk will be stupid. I did not do it right away, so in a year Toshiba managed to park about…

I am a PC builder. 168 such HDDs have passed through my hands in 4 years. The main advantage of this model is, of course, the price. For the price of 1TB from Toshiba = 500GB from WD and Seagate (I'm talking about DT01ACA100, ST500DM002, WD5000AAKX). Of the minuses, it is worth noting the lower productivity and the poor condition of the plates. When doing tests in Victoria with the new DT01ACA100, I often get 30-40 600ms sectors. Well, 200ms is also enough. The new ST500DM002, WD5000AAKX…

A month after the purchase, it began to squish, as if dropping overboard, I don’t know what it was, then it began to hang. Initially, I thought that this cooler is so noisy, but freezes because of Windows, but no! After 3 months, he flew, now 60% of the time is 100% down and does not load anything, and Windows in 50% of cases loads from an hour to 3. Windu reinstalled, after reinstalling everything was fine, but a week later the experience was repeated. It's terrible, in no case do not take…

Attention! To everyone who chooses a disc! Once again attention! Wild vibration of brand new discs, body vibrates and even the table! I ordered 8 (Eight) of these discs and with all - the same story! Once again, don't read other reviews, they are ordered. Wild vibration With a single disc, which gives any person a headache after 30 minutes, discs with such vibration will not last even a year. Miser pays twice. Again! If you're planning to buy this CD, I warned you - Read it again. And again…
