its insanely load at all times but that just may be mines came defect other then that no problem

As advertised, shipped fast, arrived OK.

works wonders, faster bigger, easy to use. more then i expected

HARD DRIVE RUNS AT 53C WHEN NOT UNDER LOAD, WHICH GREATLY SHORTENS THE LIFESPAN. YOU MUST BUY A FAN WITH THIS PRODUCT, AND POINT IT DIRECTLY AT THE HARD DRIVE ENCLOSURE, OR ELSE YOUR HARD DRIVE WILL FAIL. NOT RECOMMENDED PURCHASE. ... On the bright side, after 3 years of continuous use with a fan, the hard drive continues to run.

This hard drive was easy to fit in my system. I have tried many named hard drives and they do not seem to last a long as the Hitachi.

I first got this drive to be a backup but I liked it so well that I bought another for a system drive in a medium quality gaming computer. The first one is 3 years old and is rock solid. No problems at all from either drive. Over the past 15 years Ive switched back and forth between WD and Seagate drives, but I am becoming a quick fan of these Hitachi drives even though they are a WD product in essence. It may be mind over matter, but I do like this brand. Will buy again from Amazon when I need another one.

This is an excellent drive at a good price. My only reason for giving it 4 stars was that I feel they should have included instructions on formatting the drive in a more prominent manner. It cost me a lot of wheel spinning to get the drive installed on my computer. To be fair, the instructions to go the their website and follow the steps for formatting were on the shipping document - they were just in very small type on the paper that often I just throw away.

It works, but sometimes it stops. After resetting the SATA port it works again, so a very weird issue. I think I got it refunded, but a lot of hassle replacing it.

4 star because it has earned this score so far!

This is a decent hard drive with 2tb of storage. I use it as a game drive and dont really have any problems. The only thing I encounter is loading problems when playing kingdom come deliverance but that game is pretty buggy anyway. It usually makes clicking noises that definitely arent quiet but it doesnt really bother me. Its not super fast or anything but it is a hard drive after all. Its a good value for 2tb.
