Don't expect too much, and it's great.
Current home renovation conditions have made it more viable to use a laptop for me for now, but my laptop only had a 256 GB SSD, so I got this to increase capacity and have everything on it. When I first opened it up, I was a little concerned with a manufacturing date of 2015 and scuffs on the pins. I popped it in anyway and crystaldiskinfo shows 2 boot cycles and 0 operating hours. The scuffs on the pins must've been from a test run and nothing more. So yes, it is essentially a "new" drive, even if it has been sitting around for a minute. It formatted normally. Transfer rates directly from the SSD averaged out at about 55 MB/s. Not impressive, but remember this: This is a budget level, 5400 RPM drive. I basically got it to write things to that don't require high read/write speeds, such as pictures, music, documents, etc. and to keep constant writes / deletions / overwrites off the SSD to increase its lifespan. For this purpose, it's perfectly acceptable. OS, more intensive games, and a few commonly used programs that I want to load fast on the SSD, everything else on this HDD. If you have to have a high performance traditional spinning platter drive, get something like a WD Black. (I have one in my desktop and it's great.) But if you just need something with decent capacity that holds your data, and doesn't break the bank, this does the trick. As a side note, I have never had a Toshiba HDD fail on me. Time will tell if this trend continues.

It works
Toshiba 1TB 5400RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb: it was packaged in an padded envelope and was in an antistatic bag. As the circuit board is exposed, I always unwrap and put it into the PC on an antistatic mat. All I can say is it worked.

good quality
Works exactly as intended. I think it's a good value for the price.

Failed after 4 months
I bought this to replace a failed drive in a Ubquiti Cloud Key Plus. This is the tested and certified storage device from the manufacturer. When it arrived I noticed the manufacturer date was 2015 but I put it into service despite its age. Unfortunately it started to fail earlier this week and has now completely failed. Even with its age, four months for this drive is unacceptable. I would not recommend anyone purchase this. FYI: if you are looking to replace a Cloud Key Plus drive, the Samsung 1tb SSD works great.

Used as TIVO Bolt replacement
Worked well for 2 years. Then the green screen of death on my TIVO Bolt. Turns out I should have used a hard drive rated for DVRs that uses CMR technology, not SMR which is what the Toshiba drive uses. So I increased the rating.

Disco duro mecánico para copias de seguridad
Por el momento, el disco funciona perfectamente. Está en una caja, como disco externo por USB, y no ha habido ningún problema. Recomendable.
