Bought a "New" 16TB drive. Installed and immediately the drive was making horrible noises. Turns out it's a used hard drive with over 29,000 hours.

I bought this in early June 2022 so let's say this has been in use for my media server since July of 2022. 2 days ago stablebit scanner found one unreadable sector so I immediately ordered a replacement. However yesterday, all of a sudden SMART was inaccessible and the drive is unrecognized. I pulled it out and in another PC it wants to be initialized again. So data may or may not be lost (I have snapraid recovering everything as I am typing this) but 2 years for a drive is not quite the best.UPDATE: This is covered under warranty, 5 year. The problem now is contacting anyone about getting a warranty replacement is like talking to my soapdish. I am going to say that this seller, avoid them. And as forToshiba, DO NOT assume they will honor their warranty but hide behind any and everything they can to NOT cover it.

I bought this to expand my Unraid server storage capacity. It works great for my purpose and hasn't let me down yet.

Normally I use the N300 series but my latest NAS devices is not compatible with them. These however, it is. This is a new attempt for me and have no real experience with these drives but based on the amazing success of the N300 NAS drives, I bought these with confidence and so far, loaded no problem, formatted, configured RAID 5 and copied 20TB onto them as a test and so far so good.

TLDR: Helium-filled drives, smooth installation, good initial performance. 🌐💽⏳I recently opted for these helium-filled drives and so far, they've been a smooth sail at installation. Only time can truly tell how they hold up, but my initial impressions are positive. I plan to update this review if any issues arise.These drives are now part of my Netgear network attached storage setup. A heads-up for those using them similarly: syncing the second 16TB drive with the first can take a few days. Don't panic – it's all part of the process.Also, something to keep in mind, the actual usable storage space is about 14.5 TB, not the full 16 TB as labeled. This isn't unusual, but it's worth noting for those new to such storage solutions.

In a world going to SSD drives, or NVME, this may seem old technology.But 16 Terabytes is a LOT of storage.I used this to make full backups of all the computers in the family.Then I just put this one drive in the save.I was able to use with a SATA to USB adapter, one that had it's own power supply.Then ran it from the USB port external.It's fast enough, not SSD but I don't care when making backups.You can't buy this much storage for a reasonable price any other way.And I trust Toshiba.It was obviously brand new, and plugging it in, it had to be initialized, which is good, I'm really the first.

I chose Platinum Micro as the seller after contacting them with some questions. I got 2 and then ordered 2 more later. All serial numbers showed up with 4.5+ years of warranty still left as shown on Toshiba's Check Warranty site. One drive started having problems down the line and Toshiba RMAed it easily with a brand new drive. Would highly recommend!Just make sure you pick the seller carefully as it looks like a lot of people got drives from other sellers without warranty through Toshiba and some got refurbished ones. I don't know why people don't contact the sellers first since it's not sold directly through the manufacturer on here.They are a little noisy, but that's the way all enterprise drives are.

Los resultados son muy buenos en comparación con otros hdd que he utilizado. Con un uso intensivo al 90% de su capacidad y durante un mes no ha dado ningún fallo. La única pega es que hace algo de ruido pero es lo normal en un hdd de estas características.

Toshiba MG08ACA16TE 16TB , The drive was ordered on Nov. 1, and was delivered on the 4th. Great, fast delivery. It was packaged very well, box within a heavy duty box, with great padding. On attaching the drive to my computer, it did not see it, after checking cables and such, I open control panel went to - Administrative Tools - Create and format hard disk. It needed to be formatted and given a disk letter, I did this. It did not show after this, I found out I needed to do the disk Letter again. Once the disk letter was given the drive showed up. It was 14.5 TB - Good enough, for some reason a lot of these drives fall short of the stated capacity. I trust Toshiba drives, great buy.--- Jan. 25, 2023, sorry to say the drive just stop working, my computer just does not see it. I did try basic trouble shooting, but I know one can get bogged down for month trying to figure these things out. Calling it a day and ordering another, did not bother to try and return it.

Great, reliable HDD. Running in my QNAP 24/7 for 3+ years and no problems at all.The good thing with these is that they have some kind of vibration mitigation inside so if you use multiple HDDs in one enclosure then they don't destroy each other via their vibration. Perfect for a NAS.
