Video reviews
A very decent external hard, because for the period of use for more than a year there are no complaints. I use it to store work projects, mostly videos, some photos. The average file size is 300-500 mb. With such volumes, the recording speed is 120-130 mb / s. It suits me just fine. I did not drop it, so I can’t tell you the characteristics of reliability from falls. But 819 inclusions were made, and a bunch of files were uploaded. And for me the most important thing is reliability. The hard drive itself is quite compact, it does not heat up (according to statics, it did not heat up more than 44 degrees, which I consider an excellent result. The speed depends on the size of the files. Photos of 15-30 mb are recorded at a speed of 25-45 mb/s, large ones up to 157 mb/s, but the average, as I wrote above, is about 130 mb / s. For work or a personal archive - ideal. Relatively fast. Reliable. No speed problems, stable. Compact. Will not overheat. Perhaps I would like a faster connector, but this is already more expensive.  Igor: use Toshiba HDTB420EK3AA more than year |
A month later, there were strange recording issues and a very loud operating noise (a soft crunch). I tested it myself and saw (screenshot 1) the recording speed drop to ZERO after 1.2TB (that's how much data I had on it at the time of the first glitches). The Victoria program showed an even more alarming situation (screenshot 2) - a bunch of sectors with a response time of 3 seconds!!! with a normal of 25-100ms, and this after one month of use. I contacted the service center - and they sent me a statement that they tested it and everything was okay, the hard drive meets the normal parameters. That's how 'normal' hard drives from Toshiba are - defects appeared after a month (or maybe immediately), but it's normal for them. Either due to the chip crisis, service centers were given a "manual" to only replace dead ones, while those that work somewhat are marked as normal. Don't buy Toshiba hard drives - save your nerves and money. Price-volume ratio reliability, service LVS: use Toshiba HDTB440EK3CA few months |
