Rating: - Avoid like the plague
I'm the computer technician for our company. I just pulled this very hard drive out of a barely two year old system after it died and I've been working to get an employee's critical files off of it for the last few days. After reading the other reviews, I have to agree- this drive is a death camp for your electronic media. If you absolutely positively want to buy this thing, go right ahead, but don't say you haven't been warned.
Rating: - Lasted 25 months, all data destroyed
Lost all data instantly due to HD failure. Cannot recommend.
And this was definite hardware failure, not logical corruption. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts to repartition, reformat and reinstall OS the drive died completely.
Rating: - Awful product. Awful, awful, awful
If I wasn't clear enough in the subject of my review, let me restate: this is an awful product. I purchased a Toshiba Satellite which came equipped with this piece of crud. 18 months later it fried itself, and I lost all my data. Toshiba said the 1-year warranty on my computer was kaput, so they basically told me to go frag myself. But I found in the fine print that all Toshiba HDDs carry a warrantee of 3 years (nobody tells you this; you must waste weeks researching the problem like I did).
