    Very good. Reliable, fast, and not particularly noisy.
    {It works quite intensively for almost a year.}

    I chose it because of the price per GB for computer backup and because it has 512MB Cache compared to the Seagate Exos which has 256. On the first day that I wrote 4TB to it, the head could be heard but it wasn't anything crazy. It is quiet during data reading. It has significantly higher sustained speeds than any commercial hard drive. It is slightly slower to start from standby (7-8'') compared to the previous one I had (WD Blue 4TB).

    I have 3, all 3 drives failed within 3 years. Unfortunately, Skroutz does not recognize the 5-year warranty and did not assist me with a replacement, so I sent an RMA to Toshiba myself, where they replaced them, but I am still wary of using them.

    This is the fifth Toshiba disk I have purchased. Completely satisfied with both its speed and reliability. Additionally, it has the lowest price compared to all other brands at 18TB. It was purchased on 27/2/2022 for €294.15 and operates 24/7. Operating temperatures are normal. ONLY TOSHIBA!!!
