Nice Fast Storage Option

Nice Fast Storage Option
I've been using this drive (4TB X300) for about 7 months now. It's speedy for a hard drive, enough that other than when it needs to spin back up from sleep, I don't feel the comparatively slower speeds in most uses, although I primarily use it for data storage and save gaming/applications for SSDs. It can be a little noisy in use but it's silent at idle, which is where it spends most of its time. CMR is a huge plus and I'm glad Toshiba not only offers that, but advertises it as well, so you don't have to hunt spec sheets (or user-reported specs!). The price is imo competitive, with CMR, 256MB cache, and 7200 RPM. Similar capacity drives can be had for less but will perform slower and less reliably.
