Great Drive & Great Value
After reading that a reviewer that had received a used drive, I was relieved to get a new one. Initialized, partitioned and formatted quickly, with no problems. Very quiet, and as fast as you can hope for a SATA HDD to be. It will work out well for backups.

Works
Purchased to replace a large solid state hard drive so I can give a Dell laptop away and keep my private information. The drive works fine. I like the service and price. I was disappointed in the thin plastic bag the hard drive came in. So 4 stars instead of 5. A quick easy replacement.

Xbox approved
Used this hard drive to replace the sea gate hard drive in my Xbox one x because it would no longer update and it worked perfectly!

This one replaced a drive with bad sectors
First I used Clonezilla to make a bare metal backup but the bad sectors cause the backup to fail. I then turned to Rescuezilla which has an option to ignore bad sectors which created a fully operational backup. Restore to this drive, and all is well. It is a fine drive, attractively priced. It is a mechanical drive, not as fast or as robust as an SSD but certainly adequate to bring an old laptop back to life.

Toshiba 500GB 2.5-inch SATA Laptop Hard Drive (5400rpm, 8MB Cache) MQ01ABD050
Toshiba 500GB 2.5-inch SATA Laptop Hard Drive (5400rpm, 8MB Cache) MQ01ABD050With the advent of SSD's and their "IFy" life spans, I buy HDD's for life span and to get away from the SSD's inherited "write wear". Look it up if you don't know what it is. Most don't know because they dont talk about it.The Hdds do not suffer from write wear at all so you have unlimited write abilities on the HDD.I buy many types of HDD's but Toshiba has been the one I have turned to the most lately.NOTE: Most HDD's will come "cleaned" which means you will have to "Initialize" the HDD for your computer to see it.Initializing can be easy or it can be difficult, depending on the system you are using.after initializing, the HDD will operate like any other drive.The Toshibas have all needed initializing on my machines.The Hdds have been reliable and other than me dropping one, I can't think of any that have failedrecently.Because the SSD's tend to lose memory if stored for long periods of time, ie: back ups, I use the HDD's for back up storage as they do not tend to lose memory over time.I also like to use them as external drives, using the USB adapter which plugs directly into the drive. Works great.Because I have not had problems with these, I RECOMMEND them.I do not know the seller nor do I receive any money or product for my random review230702 1248
