Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

The disk is sold already partitioned in GPT, has a small MSR partition (16 MB), and the rest of the space is formatted in NTFS 3.1. "Blondes" will obviously like this state of affairs, but fans of Linux and macOS are unlikely :)
Specifically, on version 2 of my TV inside the box there is a disk with a speed of 5400 RPM - WDC WD20SPZX-22UA7T0 (I bought mine on 04/09/2022 in the "Ardes. Bg" store)
But on mysku. Club there is a review of the same 2TV box, inside which, according to the owner, there was a TOSHIBA MQ04ABD200 [HDWL120UZSVA], 9.5mm thick, and even photos are given. He took his box in January 2022. So, it seems that in ADATA, what came to the warehouse is what they put .
I connected my drive to USB 3.0 and tested it for speed. First, with AIDA64, which showed some insane speeds of 250 MB / s (apparently, it tested the disk cache), then I ran Crystal DiskMark on a 4000MB block, which showed an adequate result:

For the sake of interest, I connected the box to the USB 2.0 port of a Samsung NP350U2B laptop -> it does not work quickly [~ 28MB / sec], but it works - there was enough power!

I ran a disk surface test - no errors.
Let's see how long he lives.

Pros

1. The box is really shockproof and will not slip out of your hands - there are rubber bumpers on the outside of the plastic, and rubber inserts inside protect the HDD itself. In addition, its water resistance is not just empty words, it is really present (the guys at mysku. Club checked this) 2. So far, ADATA has not been seen to put Seagate drives in these boxes

Cons

1. Dimensions are quite large for a 2.5" external drive - the reverse side of "shockproof" 2. And of course - tiled recording is a common problem of modern 2.5" HDDs from 2 TB and above.
