Most Critical Review

Ridiculously short life. DO NOT BUY.

TOSHIBA E300 HDWA110XZSTA 1TB 5700 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Desktop Internal Hard Drive Retail Packaging
TOSHIBA E300 HDWA110XZSTA 1TB 5700 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Desktop Internal Hard Drive Retail Packaging

Pros: - run quiet - good size

Cons: After only 4 months the two drives that I bought in May 2016 are failing, both on the same day, both with the same error: HDD #1: S.M.A.R.T. error 010: Spin Retry Count Value 040/Worst 040/Threshold 060 HDD #2: S.M.A.R.T. error 010: Spin Retry Count Value 020/Worst 020/Threshold 060 Both drives have ca. 125 Power On Count and ca. 1560 Power On Hours. Both drives have only about 300GB on them. My PC runs daily from ca. 5:00am to 19:00pm, and are switched off overnight. Power supply Seasonic S12 600W. ASUS Motherboard with integrated ATI HD 4250, AMD Phenom II 2x 555 Black CPU and 8GB RAM, running W7 Pro/SP1 64-bit. I find it ridiculous that these supposedly durable drives die after just 4 months!

Overall Review: I can NOT recommend these drives I will never again buy Toshiba drives. They do not even deserve 1 Egg, but I can't give less than 1.
