    Huge drive size, very fast read/Write for a standard HD
    I am not spending much time posting that review since I just received the drive about 30mn ago. It took me about 5mn to turn off my desktop, open it, unplug my DVD player (yes they still exist) and plug the hard drive instead (My computer caser is pretty full). After rebooting the PC, I went to the Disk management tool (right click on startup), identified the new drive (Disk management showed it to me directly) and formatted it.I am already copying the about 8TB of data that I wanted to duplicate.I am really impressed so far for a Hard drive with platters. Directory Opus is showing me a peak transfer speed of 227MB/s and an average speed of 176MB/s after transferring 170GB in 16mn. If the speed remains constant, that means that one can transfer about 700 GB in one hour. That is way better than what I was used to with other hard drives.I have read many comments complaining about this hard drive failing after a while and I indeed cannot comment on this yet. That would be indeed very bad but nothing so critical to someone having backups (like anyone should do). That Toshiba does not stand by its warranty is a different issue which I have not encountered yet.So, at this stage and only based on my personal experience (as reviews should be anyway), I am giving 5 stars to this drive for the very large capacity (I am reviewing the 10TB HD), the best price on Amazon (especially after the Prime Day rebate of $75) and the excellent transfer speeds for this type of drive.I am adding a snapshot of my transfer speeds and CrystaldiskMark to this review.

    What the hell Toshiba. Your QA is slipping. This is my 3rd drive under your brand and the biggest @ 10TB. 34 days and 19 hours of power on time.

    Failure Predicted - Attribute: 7 Seek Error Rate, Rate of positioning errors of the read/write heads. Indicate problem with servo, head. High temperature can also cause this problem.
    Replace hard disk immediately.
    It is recommended to backup immediately to prevent data loss.

    I had to disable smart checking in BIOS to get back into windows. Now Im scrambling to get all all my movies off this drive before I lose her. :( C'mon guys , do BETTER!

    UPDATE - 7-23-2019. They replaced this drive 48 hours after failure. The replacement is doing great!

    There is something really fishy going on with the drive I bought. It has some sort of terrible APM (power saving features) enabled on a hardware level, which absolutely cripple the performance. I believed Toshiba is either reselling eco drives as gaming drives (very shady) or these drives just have terrible power saving tech integrated, which makes them COMPLETELY unusable for gaming. The drive constantly freezes for several milliseconds while some sort of head parking / spindown operation happens. During games that stream data from the disk (many games) the game will freeze for several frames every 3-5 seconds. Obviously this is unusable. The APM features can be mostly disabled with software, but it is only temporary, and resets when the computer goes to sleep or is restarted. It also doesn't completely disable the APM features, so occasional freezing will still happen at really frustrating moments. I'm guessing one of three things is going on:
    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.

    I use this drive for storing and accessing all of my sound banks from Native Instruments, East West, BFD, IK Multimedia and others. It is blinding fast and so far has been super reliable.

    It's fast.
    I had no trouble installing it, though I did have an issue getting it to register, but only because I forgot to set it up in my BIOS.
    Transfer rate is excellent (especially considering it's a standard HDD, not an SSD).
    I would buy it again, although I'll probably never need that much storage again.

    Realized it would be physically too large for a current laptops, but would have been interesting in a desktop or older laptop, since it was meant for gaming or Enterprise.

    Dropped the hard drive three feet after having it for only two weeks. Hard actually failed, then started working two months later! Absolutely Amazing!!! I've used the drive in my NAS ever since with no issues.

    Althoug this drive works just fine, it has to be the loudest drive I've ever heard! It sounds like something from the late 80s! I don't think I'll be purchasing a Toshiba drive again.

    J'ai acheté ce disque pour sa haute performance et c'est épouvantable. Je voulais qu'ils soit mon disque principal. J'avais aussi besoin d'un disque de relève moins performant et j'ai donc acheté un Seagate BarraCuda 8tB 5400 RPM pour cette fonction. Il s'avère que le Seagate qui tourne seulement à 5400 est tellement plus rapide. Si je copie du Toshiba vers le Seagate le Seagate monte à peine à 40% tandis que le Toshiba est à 100% dans le tapis. Pourtant l'écriture est plus lente que la lecture mais ce Toshiba est plus lent en lecture que le disque le plus bas de gamme que j'ai trouvé et en écriture. Je l'ai essayé dans deux ordinateurs différents avec des carte-mères ASUS et MSI. Des gros systèmes et le résultat est le même. Mon ordinateur principal est un MSI MEG X399 Cretion avec Threadripper 64 coeurs 128 Go de mémoire.
    J'aurais tellement voulu le retourner. Toutefois on ne constate sa lenteur qu'un coup qu'il est plein et le remplir m'a pris un mois car c'était des trucs spécialisés venant du web.
    Je suis pris avec et j'ai payé le gros prix.
