Two years of reliability, so I bought more

For me, WD was reliable but the most expensive, and Seagate was cheaper but unreliable. So when faced with two traditional options, I settled on the third option - Toshiba. I bought a Toshiba 4TB 128MB drive about two years ago and it's been a champion to me - great performance, great reliability, great value. why I went back to the 8TB 256MB version for extra drive. I'm happy with a CrystalDiskMark6 score of 204/193 on 8TB drives, and even the old 4TB drive is getting 150/143 after two yearsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Toshiba caching technology for high real-time performance
Cons
  • Almost never

Died after 7 months of light use, Toshiba warranty scrap

Bought this 8th 7200rpm drive for its speed and storage space. In fact, it wasn't even used/installed until May, so it didn't even take 2 months to die. Wasn't recognized out of nowhere in Windows 10. Suddenly came up as "unallocated", error initializing or trying to reformat. I thought "no big deal" as it might be a problem with Windows 10, I put it in an external storage box, but no. Dead. Did. Fortunately, there were no important files on it. Toshiba wasn't helpful and doesn't seem to careโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Security

Velocidad y Capacidad

El tipico click click al energizarse, pero sac se porto de maravilla u la unidad de reemplazo i esta en proceso de envรญo, esperemos llegue luego. 250 MB/s de lectura or escritura lo cual esta bien, so si el disco se caliente bastante peron nada extremo.Por ahora comple lo que necesito que es reemplazar 2 WD Black 4 TB and 2 WD Green 3 TB. Como solo tengo una unidad reemplace los dos de 3TBEso es por hoy, como nota los WD Green llevan conmigo unos 8 aรฑos sin falla aunque solo los uso de almacen,

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Large and bulky

Bad product, especially for the price.

Loud, intimidating tarnish. My desktop doesn't even publish when installed. Plugged it into the USB dock and tried writing to it. Seek time pauses with a nasty click every few seconds and you can see that's affecting speed. You also hear that howling chirp that you hear when hard drives fail. Data is still written to it, but if you pay what they wanted for the drive and read all the hype they give you in their description, you expect it to work just fine. I don't know how this CD gets such aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High test scores for hold and durability
Cons
  • Appearance

The drive disappears when the computer goes to sleep. Returning after reboot

Not a good start. I have built a new PC from scratch (3rd in the last 2 months) and replaced a defective Seagate 3TB with a Toshiba 8TB. I spent 2 days copying data from backups and merging data from multiple sources. The system runs Windows 10 Pro on an Asus Crossfire Formula VIII (Ryzen) motherboard. I've found that the Toshiba drive disappears when the computer goes to sleep, when the computer wakes up, and only comes back after the computer restarts. I have 4 other internal (non-USB) hardโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Modern
