Review: Good Value, Excellent HDD - Never had a problem with these Toshiba drives. They are fast and run not too warm (with adequate space around them in a case). Mine have been quiet above the normal hummmm. Saying that though I suspect that the 5 year guarantee may be hard to claim against judging by the previous reviews here and my own perusing of Toshiba support site. Though I have just read somebody did find a way through the not so clear returns procedure. But I will reiterate that I have never had an issue with these drives over three years. Competitive pricing if you catch them when desertcart bounces a low price at you. Also good that they are not manufactured in China. HDD was factory sealed and surrounded in a plastic case , foam and cardboard box. desertcart packaging was fine with plenty of paper to stop it all rattling around the desertcart box.
Review: Good value for money - I usually buy Western Digital drives but given their recent anti-consumer practices (secretly supplying shingled drives where it used to be CMR, drives which issue a SMART failure after 3 years of operational time regardless of their actual condition and most recently the issues with their SSD subsidy SanDisk where rather than recall defective SSD's they simply cut the price in half in an apparent attempt to get rid of them) I decided to try another brand. As a bonus I managed to snag a discount; desertcart were offering a 20% off voucher and so I got the 4TB model for just under £82, which wasn't bad. It would have been nice if desertcart's packaging had been better, a single layer of bubble wrap in one of those desertcart book mailers isn't adequate, but that said it arrived without dents or obvious external damage. This drive is significantly more noisy than my 10 year old WD Red and even in a sound dampened case I can hear it clicking away. That said it's not particularly loud, completely tolerable even though I'm sitting right next to it and anyway it's aimed primarily at datacenters where this isn't going to be a concern so should probably be expected. Speed ranges from an initial speed of about 238MiB/sec to 98MiB/sec under a full disk write. In practice this disk is pretty fast for spinning rust. It does seem to run a bit hot under heavy load so I'd suggest monitoring it's reported SMART temperature (max 46°C) and relocating the drive / increasing fan speeds as appropriate. As for installation, I do what I normally do with new drives and ran a SMART extended (long) test which took a little under 8 hours. This test reveled several bad sectors and after two more runs with a write in between the bad sector count had somewhat strangely decreased but was still there. The acceptable number of bad sectors on a new drive is zero, and given I probably wouldn't be getting that deal again I decided to avoid returning it and instead raise a warranty claim with Toshiba. Although the web-based claim process was easy there were a couple of snags: it has to be sent to their service center in Germany and thanks to the "no trade barriers" Brexit deal you *cannot* simply print off a CN22 and stick it to the box. Instead you need to print off *3* copies of the supplied proforma invoice, include 2 of them in a clear document pouch ON the box (not IN the box!) and give the third to the courier / parcel shop. Toshiba provide a label, which you print off and then can either arrange free collection or take to a UPS-contracted 'parcel shop' / convenience store. I went with the latter although probably should have just arranged collection; I'm not sure what was going on but I got the impression the store really didn't want to take the package even though it was small. Total turn around time was 5 working days with it sent out on Monday and a brand new replacement back in my hands Friday. Excellent service Toshiba!

### ⭐ 50% failure rate in under a year. Not "Enterprise" quality.
*by C***N on 30 September 2026*

I bought two of these drives expecting enterprise-grade reliability for my setup, but one completely died in less than a year of use. Having a drive fail that quickly—especially one marketed as enterprise-level—destroys any confidence in using them for important data or backups. A 50% failure rate in under 12 months is completely unacceptable. I won’t be trusting this brand with my storage again. No thanks.
