Toshiba X300 PRO 12TB High Workload Performance for Creative Professionals 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive – Up to 300 TB/Year Workload Rate CMR SATA 6 GB/s 7200 RPM 512 MB Cache - HDWR51CXZSTB

very good, fast, I could copy my data from old drive very fast.

Unlike other reviews I have read for this product it is a lot quieter than the 7TB Seagate Iron Wolf it replaced. I would also add that the actual motherboard may have something to do with the noise factor of hard drives. I say this even though I’m not a techie. The 7TB Seagate was placed in a newer desktop and the noise factor was a lot less than in its former computer. I have had Toshiba HDDs in the past and I have not been disappointed. Hopefully this one will last as long as previous one.

I placed this drive in a 5 bay external case and it is working fine. I’ve purchased several Toshiba drives over the years and I have not had any problems.

Very satisfied with this replacement main drive. It is noisy with my desktop at eye level. But not enough to be a problem. It is very fast with loading large files. Strange though there were not any locking screws supplied so if this an additional drive you may need 4 locking screws unless you already have a set.

I have 3 ssd in my PC, I usually use my PC for work, and gaming. I wad running low in my storage since one of my 4tb ssd was getting full capacity. I decided to go for a sata hard ride, but I wasn't expecting this one to be so fast and being able to store 6tb of games. It's great, highly recommended!
