I don't see the good quality, it's nothing but downsides.

I took a "new", not worked out, 7 months ago. It worked well for 5 months, but now it creaks disgustingly (it’s not very audible in the headphones), so it just started loading into a hundred, I still have Windows on it, it’s terrible, everything is sooooo slow, even my 7 year old railway is 320 GB from the same WD works faster, it's scary to store important information on such a disk, it can sprinkle with such jokes at any time.

Pros

?price? and characteristics

Cons

When the system boots, it waits for another ~ 3 minutes, at this moment it is 100% loaded, so it’s worth doing nothing, and if something is demanding (like for railway), then you can catch a BSOD. By itself, it just loads 100%, literally from nothing. The disk was taken for games, it takes 4 minutes to enter DotA, 2 minutes to csgo, and now imagine that with demanding games, var sags heavily in cs and freezes in DotA if the disk again shizues and loads 100% just like that. Quite noisy (rather creaky), given that the PC is 40 cm away from me.
