💾 Toshiba X300 4TB Performance & Gaming 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive – CMR SATA 6 Gbps 7200 RPM 256 MB Cache - HDWR440XZSTA. Review

I worked hard to install it as a second drive to an existing drive in Windows 10, finally bought the Barracuda drive and installed it in 5 minutes! Sorry Toshiba, size doesn't matter!

When rebuilding my PC, rerouting cables and side impact, the SATA connector broke with very little effort. Can't get new card from Toshiba. Not covered under warranty as I "abused" the drive. The plastic they made the part out of is very brittle. Treat it with kid gloves when you buy it.

To be honest it's a huge drive for what I use it for but hopefully I can free up space on a few drives to keep things running smoothly. So far it's working great, it's faster than I expected and it was as easy to install as any other internal drive. I can't hear it over the fans I have running so that's a plus too.

- Good memory - Acceptable noise level - As easy to install as any drive - Questionable reliability. sleep pc Didn't show up anywhere so I couldn't mount it, but rebooting fixed it permanently. I was trying to troubleshoot because I thought something was wrong with the driver or firmware. StoreMI disabled and uninstalled. Nothing helped. When restarting, the motherboard then kept reporting the SMART error. I'm currently migrating data to another drive and buying a replacement. Huge PIA to…

Reassembling my PC, re-wiring and side force broke the SATA connector with very little effort. Can't get new card from Toshiba. Not covered under warranty as I "abused" the drive. The plastic they made the part out of is very brittle. Treat it with kid gloves when you buy it.

What the hell Toshiba. Your QA slips away. This is my third drive under your brand and the largest at 10TB. 34 days and 19 hours of operating time. Prediction Error - Attribute: 7 seek error rate, read/write head position error rate. State the problem with the servo head. High temperatures can also cause this problem. Replace the hard drive immediately. It is recommended that you backup immediately to avoid data loss. I had to disable Smart Check in BIOS to get back to Windows. Now I'm…

I installed a Toshiba X300 hard drive on my Windows 10 PC and the drive was not recognized. Turned it off with a drive present, PC still didn't recognize it. The hard drive was hot when I removed it, so I know the cables were at least connected. There is no website to download drivers if it is a driver issue. Documentation was sparse. I think the hard drive was defective, but there's always a chance that the problem was with my PC or with me. Didn't care about customer service. Luckily, Revain…

I don't spend much time to write this review as I only received the disk about 30 minutes ago. It took me about 5 minutes to turn off the desktop, open it, unplug the DVD player (yes, they still exist), and plug in the hard drive instead (my computer case is pretty full). After restarting the PC, I went to the Disk Management tool (right click on startup), identified the new drive (Disk Management showed me right away) and formatted it. I'm already copying about 8TB of data that I wanted to…
