    HOT - concerned for longevity
    Great price for the capacity, and spindle speed. After checking the reviews and specs, I took a flier on this rather than the usual choices of Seagate, Western Digital or HGST, trying to save a few bucks. I recall back at the inception of the PC industry, Toshiba made THE BEST 2.5" drives, so I was optimistic i would not get 'burned' by this purchase.I used this to replace a < 1 year old Seagate 2TB FireCuda Gaming SSHD (Solid State Hybrid Drive) - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Hard Drive (ST2000DX002) I was disappointed with using on my main rig, and it actually has a marked performance improvement over the old drive. Shorter load times for windows, programs, files than the hybrid drive (My old and new 1TB Seagate hybrids are still much faster than the 2TB maybe due to the same size 8GB SSD on the larger drive).Crystal disk marks topped 153 mb/s on both read and write performance besting my Seagate hybrid in every measure, however somewhat slower than I had hoped.Drive is *ever so slightly* noisier than the Seagate was but still quiet. Doesn't have much of a vibration whatsoever.Biggest beef is this baby gets H O T. I used CloneZilla to image the 2TB over via ORICO External Hard Drive Docking Station for 2.5" and 3.5" HDD/SSD, SATA to USB 3.0, Supports up to 8TB Drives for ~ 1.5 hours and when it was done the Toshiba that was in open air was too hot to hold (to put in chassis in place of Seagate) - let it sit off for 4 minutes and 20 seconds after which I used my Etekcity Lasergrip 774 Non-contact Digital Laser Infrared Thermometer Temperature Gun -58℉~ 716℉ (-50℃ ~ 380℃), Yellow and Black read 112 on the top, 114 on sides where i was holding, 116F on the bottom side. Seagate (source) after same operation was only 104 F at its hottest point, immediately after shutting it off (< 30 seconds).As an 21 year IT veteran this is of concern - modern 7200RPM hard drives usually don't get this hot, even 10 and 15K SAS drives usually stay under these ranges during operation (granted with better forced ventilation). I will keep my eye out for thermal related issues with this drive.I installed the drive anyways as it sits right next to the front chassis fan, however my RX 480 will now have higher temp air blowing over it - and effects chassis ambient air temp sensor by 1-2 degrees Fahrenheit under load over the previous configuration.It accomplished the task of faster 2TB drive for cheap, but I will be backing this up on the regular, just in case.

    Was afraid till getting it delivered whether it gets damaged on its way. But packing was good. Delivered it few days before expected date. No problems faced till now. Delivers good speeds and 1863GB usable space. Mostly silent when reading or writing data. My first impression for this product is excellent. I will update this review after one month of usage.
