Affordable, low-noise, and high-performance built-in (internal) hard drive with a 3.5" form factor from the 2013 Toshiba DT01ACA consumer SATA3 HDD series. This lineup includes 4 models ranging from 500 GB to 3 TB, whose firmware and design are optimized for use in typical home PCs, budget workstations, multimedia systems, gaming computers, and external hard drives. It can work stably in simple NAS arrays.

The main advantages of the device are low power consumption (<3.7 W in idle and <6.4 W in active mode) and low noise level in seek mode. The Toshiba DT01ACAxxx DT01ACA050 hard drive is based on a highly reliable single-disc configuration, and data recording is performed using Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) technology, which ensures consistently high performance without noticeable degradation under prolonged load.

This drive remains operational in a temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees, allowing for use with silent passive cooling systems. The relatively small capacity of 500 GB allows for recording up to 125 hours of high-definition video or 500 hours of SD video stream. The average sequential read/write speed is about 150 MB/s. This model is also suitable for home surveillance systems or multimedia storage located in residential areas.

    excellent, reliable screw
    26 January 2021 
    I don't know much about hardware, in terms of write speed, buffer size and other technical nuances, but the screw is very reliable. Some write that after a year it knocks, pours and all that, but mine has served me faithfully since October 2013 and now, after more than 7 years, he fell ill (((I hope his receiver will serve no less
    excellent, reliable screw
    no
    Do not take under any circumstances

    Do not purchase these hard drives. I've gone through a dozen of these HDDs, all with the same issue: they start making clicking sounds after a year of use. I foolishly bought one myself, and after a year of usage, when it was 37% full, it started clicking and just froze.
    no advantages
    The amount of defects is just off the charts.
    great model, love it

    I got the 2 TB model for storing photos, movies, and music. I use an SSD for the system. So it's both fast and capacious :) Hopefully, it's also very reliable.
    Quiet enough, it hums but within reasonable limits. No clicks. Works fast and doesn't heat up. Reasonable price. The manufacturer is listed as Toshiba, but it seems that this company just acquired the factory from Hitachi. And the latter has always been able to make good disks.
    It's been 4 months since the purchase. So far (knock on wood) there have been no problems at all. I really hope there won't be any. But if anything does come up, I'll definitely write about it.
    use Toshiba DT01ACAxxx month or more i recommend it should buy
