I have the 3TB version with code DT01ACA300. Purchased in 2015, it has been used in 3 different computers, meaning all the phases of upgrades I have made since then.
At this point, it has been functioning for about 9 out of 10 years. The health status still shows as GOOD, while its performance has remained high. It is clearly used for movies, images, etc., meaning files where the access speed is not particularly important to me.
For its years of use and flawless operation alone, I would recommend it, although it has now been replaced with better drives at the same or even lower price.

I have three of these on Synology DS1515+ storage, which came with it when I bought it. They have been working flawlessly for about two years.

In less than three years on the computer batch market (over 30), most have encountered issues and we replace them. Far away.

I bought it today and the computer doesn't recognize it at all. I watched various videos to see if I could figure it out, but unfortunately I didn't succeed. Even though it seems to be working, it's nowhere to be found in the system! I have changed many internal and external drives before, and I never had a problem. Of course, they were all WD. This is the first time I bought this brand and I feel like I wasted my money! I will contact the store and hopefully I will figure it out and not have to go back and forth with a hard drive in my hands. I do not recommend it!!!

For its price, it is very reliable. 2TB at 7200 RPM, it doesn't heat up much, it makes occasional clicking sounds but its health is okay after 4-5 years. In fact, I sent the first one I bought to warranty because it was making strange noises and vibrations, without affecting its functionality if I remember correctly. The only thing that troubled me back then was that there was no official representation in Greece for hard drives, so I had to contact them externally and then deal with the store. Nevertheless, it continues to perform strongly after so many years in a machine that is not used daily.

Reliable and honest disk, I have had it for 4 years and it is very good. It had some minor glitches, which is understandable in my opinion. I now recommend it in 2021 as a storage space, as it is reliable and affordable

Good but always kept an eye on it and after 5 years and several formats + fill ups it started to have serious speed issues, making the games unplayable and producing strange sounds. But for some reason, after a few clean-ups, it works perfectly fine.

I have all my data on this disk since July 2019. At first, it was the computer's boot manager. It took 1 minute to boot and was generally slow. Eventually, Windows and applications were moved to an SSD, and this disk remained for data and games. It's useless for HDD. Despite the high rotations per minute (7200rpm), which help with speed, it is very quiet. It makes minimal noise when it starts working (it already spins in about 2 seconds), and then it is quiet. In a case with poor airflow (GPU at 75 degrees) and no fan on the disk, while playing GTA V (100% usage all the time), it doesn't go above 35-40 degrees.

If someone wants to get this hard drive, I have to say that it is worth it. It has not caused me any problems and I have had it since 2012. I'm not saying it's new, the new ones are better, but the old one is different

I have had it since 2013. It has undergone format after format, games after games, and still going strong. Needless to say, today, with just one HDD, you can't go anywhere, but from day one it does its job perfectly.

Did you find this review helpful? I have 5 3TB disks on 2 different PCs. The first 2 were purchased about 3.5 years ago, while the others were purchased about 30 months ago. One disk on each PC downloads torrent movies, which are then transferred to external disks. The other three disks are hardly used, as none of them have malfunctioned. With a speed of 100 Mbps and running 24/7!!! Other 'branded' internal disks have died, having produced minimal work.

Did you find this review helpful?I have had it for about 3 years. It is perfect for photos, movies, music, and games as a secondary hard drive. It maintains its speed even when about 2/3 full. 100% value for money, especially considering I got it for about €90 and now it has dropped 30%...

I had the disk initially on a computer very good but it is somewhat slow in reading. I had it on the computer for 2 years and then I put it on a recorder for 4 years. At some point, the recorder couldn't see it, so I took it out and put it back on my computer and it worked fine. It says it still has 100% life, but the read is probably a bit slow on this model. I recommend it for simple tasks and moderate gaming.

For its price, it is very honest, 2TB at 7200 RPM. If I have to say something, the only thing I want to say is that occasionally when I use it (because I have Windows on an SSD M.2), it makes a noise for about 1 second every 10 minutes or so. I don't know if it only happens to me or if it's like that, but it doesn't bother me. For 50 euros, it is very good

From what I have tried for about 1 year+, it is an average disk, with average speed, historically average reliability of the company in the field, but also average use of it.
Oh, and its capacity is also average - it is no longer sufficient for modern storage standards!
For backup, as a disk for quick internet downloads and not particularly demanding uses, it can work for you!
However, I would not store important things since I already have a previous bad experience with a Toshiba 3TB from the same series (head crash and it is history)Translated from Greek ·- Temperature

I have had it for 4 years for gaming and programs and it has never crashed once, but like every mechanical device, it needs to be rebuilt 1-3 times a month to be in good condition. With 400gb of writing out of 465gb, which is its actual capacity, its health after 4 years is at 90%. Recommended

Did you find this review helpful? After 3 years, the disk is almost giving up!
I had it in a vertical position, with not so much intensive use (only a few times did I reach halfway of its capacity), no vibrations during use, and it appears that this particular one may not be suitable for long-term use.
The head is constantly skipping now and it is considered unreliable even if it "seems" to be working with the familiar clicking sound. Slow speeds and when it was functionalTranslated from Greek ·- Speed

I have been using it since 2013 (when this specific model was released), purchased for around €52 back then. So far, it has been working perfectly. It hasn't shown any problems. I mainly use it for storage, images, videos, and games. Although the cache is small at 32MB, I can't say that I find it particularly slow. It has a 7200RPM, so its speeds are normal and satisfactory for a mechanical hard drive.
HDSentinel reports that the performance and health of the disk, after 6 years of operation, are perfect. No bad sectors or errors.
I give it a 4/5 because nowadays you can find hard drives with more than 32MB cache at the same cost. However, it performs satisfactorily as a storage disk, handling installations and deletions of several GB files on a frequent basis.
Update: Our hard drive suddenly died. Although I frequently checked it with HD Sentinel and it was in the best possible health and performance, it completely shut down. I managed to retrieve the files, and the health in that specific program showed 10%, with many damaged sectors. I can't say it lasted for many years, but it is quite alarming that it "ended" so suddenly without any warning signs. I don't want to change the rating since what I have written above covers it completely.

I bought it today and put it in an external case with USB 3 connection for backup. No problems so far and its price is quite low for 2TB and it is silent. I hope it will last a long time. I also provide 2 pics with info and benchmark.

Well, I've had it for 7 months and I've stored games and files. I believe it's fast for an HDD because I tried downloading Fortnite on both an SSD and an HDD. There wasn't any noticeable difference. It's not worth buying something more expensive for 1TB. Instead of spending 50 euros on an HDD, get this one and an SSD.

I have had it for 9 months and it works perfectly. I have it for files, and any game that I don't want to put on the SSD. It is fast and quiet (except for the moments it comes out of idle mode where it makes a little noise but nothing major). I have it, as well as my acquaintances, and it works perfectly.
P.S. to those who complain that it takes a long time to boot, if it's possible in 2019 to complain about this thing. HDDs are now almost exclusively for storage. If you want a fast boot, go get an SSD, their prices have dropped significantly and they are worth it.

Well, I've had him for a year and a half and the day before yesterday he presented me with an issue. Out of the blue, he started making clicking sounds and not responding at all... After hours, he starts working again on his own, but it seems like he's on his last legs. Luckily, I have made backups and I will replace him at the first opportunity...
P.S. I have two of these, the other one is a 3tb and it's been going strong for three years. What can I say about the 2tb, maybe the batch wasn't good and it turned out to be junk...

Did you find this review helpful? I bought it to use it as a third storage option.
Mainly, I wanted a large space so that the videos and pictures I take with my phone and camera don't get deleted due to lack of capacity.
I run Windows 10 on an ADATA M.2 "disk" (Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 256GB), as well as some other programs that require ultimate speed.
I run my games on an Intenso SSD (Intenso High 960GB).
And finally, I chose this one for the reasons I mentioned before. It also hosts some programs that I don't use much but need. Any file that is downloaded first goes through it and then to another one.+ It doesn't make noise.
+ It's fast.
+ It's cost-effective.
+ It's reliable.
+ The temperatures are normal.Honestly, I don't have anything negative to say about this product, everything seems to be working perfectly as expected.
The purchasing decision was easy and highly recommended!

I have this hard drive here for about a year now. I haven't had any problems so far, it doesn't go over 36 degrees Celsius and it doesn't make any noise (only when I push it hard and even then, very little). Overall, my computer is very bad and low capability compared to this hard drive that "holds" the entire setup.

Did you find this review helpful? The worst storage device I have ever used!!! I bought two of these for use in a Synology NAS (and in Mirroring - raid1 mode)!! I wanted something good since it was intended for a "Sacred" purpose!! The security and storage of my data, so I chose these and paid a lot for them (I took a long time to evaluate these specific HDDs, but better late than never!! :p ). One came out burnt, and the other had around 500 bad sectors!! I thought it couldn't be, a faulty batch - hardware failure, it happens sometimes!! I called the store, sent them back, and after much back and forth, they confirmed that they were indeed faulty, so they sent me two new ones!! Sealed-untouched, wrapped in multiple layers of bubbles just like the first ones!! Same and worse!! One was burnt again and the other had even more bad sectors!! DRAMA!! So I ordered new disks from another well-known brand, we won't mention names although it's obvious, I installed them, they worked flawlessly, silently without a single bad sector up until today!!!

Something less than 3 months in my possession. Quite fast for the standards of the era since everyone uses HDDs only for storage and not for installing games and programs. However, I did tests in this area and the disk is great! Fast, quiet, and efficient. It does exactly what it says. I highly recommend it for its price and capacity! 5/5

My PC is SLOW!!!! I don't know if you have good read/write speeds, but everything takes an hour to open! DO NOT BUY IT because you will cry for your money! Buy it only if you have the operating system on an SSD, otherwise STAY AWAY!
