There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
1. The drives have "eco" tech or "green" tech that is not advertised in the product listing, despite the drive being labelled as "high performance" and ready for pc gaming. (very shady)
2. I received a different eco / green type drive that was relabeled and re-sold as a high performance / gaming drive. (fraudulent)
3. I received a counterfeit drive (least likely, but maybe possible)
I'm surprised I haven't seen more people complaining about the APM features, I'm guessing a lot of people just use this for mass storage and not for gaming. As a pure mass storage drive, it is okay, but unbelievably loud, easily the loudest drive I've ever seen. I replaced it with a WD Black which is almost silent in comparison. Needless to say, DO NOT buy this Toshiba drive for gaming. I spent $190 for this and now I'm stuck with a completely useless for gaming hard drive. If you buy one, test it thoroughly before the return window closes. Unfortunately it is really hard to test for APM features, because it will not become obvious during normal benchmarks, and only becomes visible during specific games or workloads.
