As always, these drives perform well under consistent load. As always, these drives perform well under consistent load.

A very good price/performance and price/MG... A very good price/performance and price/MG...

No problem, works great. It's the second one I get. no surprise. No problem, works great. It's the second one I get. no surprise.

Head clicking, not initializing, CRC failing, brick.
Do not recommend, especially as a replacement for a failed drive.
Unless you need more disappointment in your life. Head clicking, not initializing, CRC failing, brick.

Got this under the recommendation from the PB Tech staffs.
It was a replacement drive for my broken WD/HDD Internal Drive (which had outlived its lifespan)
Easy to install and it did its job as described on the specs.
(It does do a tiny small reading sound on start up of the computer, but it is not detrimental at all).

Was a replacement for 2TB Baracuda that almost died (Needed it now, hdd errors),

On reflection should of purchased a 7200+ RPM faster drive (Same speed as old HDD, was recommended by PB tech - But was out of stock at store )

- Ok for video etc, but a bit slower. Still a good price Was a replacement for 2TB Baracuda that almost died (Needed it now, hdd errors),

Using x2 of these in raid 1 in my Media PC for media storage and streaming, works perfectly fine as none of its use is very demanding. Using x2 of these in raid 1 in my Media PC for media storage and streaming, works perfectly fine as none of its use is very demanding.

I have purchased three of these. Two for myself, and one for another. All of them work flawlessly. Look after these harddrives and they will look after you. I have purchased three of these.

Only use this for backups and other media storage.

Obviously you use an SSD nowadays for System drive, but don't use this for a expansion HDD for large game installs as it can be slow to use (especially writes).

I am using it in a network storage, but thankfully its mostly reads for me (video storage) so the SMR issue mentioned by another user is only annoying and not completely unusable. Only use this for backups and other media storage.
