There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
They do make a noise when the drives are busy (I want to say the noise is only during writes) but I find the noise nostalgic and it's nice to have an auditory confirmation that my system is "doing work".
I think my favorite thing about these drives is that they are just reliable. I have several of these drives that have been quite literally working their butts off for 6 years now and they're still going strong!
Many people don't game as we do though. I feel that most other purposes (business or school for instance) would be just fine from the reliable 7200 rpm HDD. In fact, I think a lot of games would perform just fine too.
Unless you're "really" on a crunch budget I wouldn't recommend anything slower than a 7200 though.
I bought a 4TB 128MB Toshiba drive about two years ago and it's been a champ for me -- great performance, great reliability, excellent value -- which is why I came back for the 8TB 256MB version for an additional storage drive. I am happy with a CrystalDiskMark6 score of 204/193 on the 8TB drives, and even the older 4TB is delivering 150/143 after two years of daily access (it's my games drive).
But I will join the choir in noting that the 8TB drive is quite audible when seeking/defragmenting, at least compared to non-Toshiba drives. Whatever other companies are doing to quiet their drives, Toshiba is not; you will hear that distinctive rumble during operation.
But you have to know there's going to be a trade-off at such a lower price point. Where this drive does not skimp is performance; that's what I wanted, along with saving a few bucks. The noisy performance is an acceptable compromise, you can get a quality drive for a good price,.
My advice, stay away from both Amazon and Toshiba with this level of support and quality.

Both drives last me more than a year in a NAS environment 24x7; I hope they continue to function well; if there is any problem, I will report it.

This drive is not inexpensive but it worth the money I spent on it.
