Toshiba X300 14TB Performance & Gaming 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive - CMR SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 512 MB Cache - HDWR51EXZSTA

I bought this 16 terabyte hard drive to use with my Reolink home hub, and it has been an excellent investment. I have several high-resolution cameras recording continuously, and this drive handles the load without any issues. The storage space is impressive. I’ve been recording for weeks and still have plenty of room left. It gives me peace of mind knowing I can keep high-quality footage for a long time without constantly managing or deleting files. One thing I really appreciate is how quiet it is. Even with the drive running nonstop inside the Reolink hub, I barely notice it’s there. No distracting spinning noises or mechanical sounds. It just quietly does its job in the background. That kind of silent performance makes a big difference in a home setup where noise can be distracting. The drive also keeps up with the data transfer demands of multiple camera streams. Everything runs smoothly and efficiently, which is exactly what you want in a surveillance setup. I haven’t had to think twice about whether it can keep up. If you are using a Reolink hub or any other home surveillance system and want a reliable, high-capacity hard drive, I highly recommend this one. It offers plenty of space, dependable performance, and silent operation. It just works.

So far, so good. Fast and reliable.

This high quality reliable drive is just what a photographer needs to gather, sort and archive years of photos and videos on one drive. Toshiba makes a great product at a competitive price.

I have always found Toshiba to be exceptional. They are durable, quiet, and a good value. This drive has performed well, without incident. I highly recommend Toshiba drives. I have always been happy with them and their quality. I have had a couple of drives from other companies fail, but Toshiba keeps on going. I needed an enterprise drive at one point that I could hear the drive sometimes, but that was an enterprise drive, so I expected that. The desktop drives are quiet.

It works ok, no problems up to now.

12TB drive failed after 24 months. Was used as a data drive on my system (OS on separate disk). The drive will stop showing up in device manager and will cause Windows to keep trying to reconnect. While Windows is trying to reconnect, file explorer will not respond, causing Windows to soft lock. You cannot shutdown or restart Windows while its trying to reconnect. After hard power cycle, drive will re-appear for maybe a an hour or two then be lost. I cannot warranty repair the drive as Toshiba shows the serial number as an OEM drive and to contact the OEM. Amazon has no option for warranty repair.. So I have to purchase a new drive. Do not purchase these drives from Amazon, you will not get a warranty.

It’s good for me, I love it it’s amazing

So far, so good using this drive as a Time Machine backup on a Mac. Downrated a star as it's quite noisy.

Very satisfied with this replacement main drive. It is noisy with my desktop at eye level. But not enough to be a problem. It is very fast with loading large files. Strange though there were not any locking screws supplied so if this an additional drive you may need 4 locking screws unless you already have a set.

Não atendeu às expectativas. MUITO LENTO! Ou é problema inerente ao modelo ou é produto com defeito. Estou tentando devolver o produto para a Amazon e até o momento ainda não consegui.

22 TB model. Very noisy clicks when sitting on desktop in container (OWC miniStack STX). Noisy anywhere in entire room. Loud enough to wake most people. No comparison to drives in old computer tower which are quiet (4TB or less). Otherwise, works fine.

Drive failed just 1 day after the return window closed. "Chkdsk was executed in scan mode on a volume snapshot. Checking file system on F: The shadow copy provider had an error. Check the System and Application event logs for more information. A snapshot error occured while scanning this drive. You can try again, but if this problem persists, run an offline scan and fix. Offline scan and fix did not work. Edit: Amazon came through for me and authorized a return and full refund.

Finally got it after a 7 weeks delay… Installed it & it work flawlessly. No loud noises. Fast 7200 RPM speed. Smooth operation. Using it for my Plex server storage and no problems so far. Checked Toshiba website and confirmed that the 5 yrs warranty is valid! Good buy despite delivery issues.
