Review on Toshiba HDWL120XZSTA L200 2TB Internal Laptop Hard Drive - 5400 RPM SATA 6Gb/s, 128MB Cache, 2.5" 9.5mm - 2000GB Bare/OEM Drive by Qu Hiu ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, I recommend that you try it.

I took it in order to make something like a NAS out of a router (Zyxel Keenetic Giga III). The main thing that influenced the choice was an article on niks, in which it was written that he was without SMR, however, according to official documents, he was with SMR. But this does not greatly affect the work, because Toshiba, in comparison with WD, organized this process more competently, using a rather large buffer) At the end of the comment is an excerpt from the official Toshiba docs (google "L200-Laptop-PC-Hard-Drive. Pdf. Pdf"), indicating which drives they have with which recording type, where behind the "//" characters is my comment. All these drives are 5400 rpm and all but HDWJ SATA 3 (6Gb/s). The disks are produced with different motors and the color of the board textolite, the quietest are the disks where the motor contacts are located on the periphery from 4 sides. I have contacts on one side, but the vibrations are slightly felt only in the hand, if you put it on the table, you can’t hear it at all. The temperature is cold. Tests of Victoria 5.28 showed the presence of 5 sectors with a reading time of 1 sec. The disk is installed in a very high-quality fully aluminum case with USB3, if necessary, I will give a link where I took it. Surface and linear read/write tests on pictures. - CMR: HDWJ110UZSVA, // 1000GB; 8Mb; 9.5mm; 3Gb/s; no ratings; xs price HDWK105UZSVA, // 500GB; 8Mb; 7mm; 6Gb/s; praise (4,8); price 2700 HDWJ105UZSVA, // 500GB; 8Mb; 9.5mm; 3Gb/s; praise (4,5); price 3000 SMR: HDWL120EZSTA, // 2022GB; 128Mb; 9.5mm; 6Gb/s; praise (4,6); price 5200; packaging (box(pimple(package(disc))));<= my choice HDWL120UZSVA, // 2022GB; 128Mb; 9.5mm; 6Gb/s; praise (4,5); the same disk as above but packaging (package (disk)); price 5800 HDWL110EZSTA, // 1000GB, 128MB; 7mm; 6Gb/s; praise (4,7); price 3500 HDWL110UZSVA, // 1000GB; 128Mb; 7mm; 6Gb/s; praise (4,7); price 3200

Pros
  • 1. The absence of strong complaints in the reviews (survived .). 2. Dimensions. 3. Volume. 4. Normal size buffer. 5. Price.
Cons
  • 1. On the top cover there is a trace of the fact that it was strongly compressed, apparently a robot on the conveyor, this is visible only in reflected light. 2. Toshiba's marketing shoves everywhere a disc image that is different from the real thing. Well, at least from an engineering point of view and build quality there are no questions.

With its pros. Normal disk, works, no buzzing, no bad sectors. Its cons: The price, of course, unpleasantly surprised.
