Reviews around value (5.00 of 5)

  • there was a waning noise coming from the hard drive during use, but 2 months later all seems to be fine, good value if you need space for more games or files without breaking the bank.
  • Excellent value for money - extremely easy to install, just format and away you go
  • bought two of them for my computer they have a ton of storage and great value for the money
  • It has worked so far perfectly for a few months and it was at a great value
  • Again, I still maintain that this is an adequate value for the $140 spent on each drive- though I am certain you could get a better

  • the 2T HDD worked well.
  • I started out acquiring this new 2TB hard drive because I wanted a replacement for my 1TB hard drive which was said to be having bad sectors (my computer is a Dell Optiplex small form factor 3310, purchased in 2017), which was preventing my windows 10 to load
  • After I purchase this hard drive, it worked well for a while; but after installing some windows update and a a few old apps, I started to get a similar response of "bad sectors" again which left me frustrated
