This hard drive boast good specs (128MB cache / 7200rpm) at a price that typically will only afford you a comparable 4TB drive from other brands. I own WD Enterprise, Green, and Black drives plus a couple HGST Deskstars and this Toshiba is the loudest of them all. Mine is in a external USB enclosure though so the experience may not be so bad for someone using it internally in their rig. I've owned this drive for about 4 months with no issues. I will mention that this model has a 3 year warranty versus Toshiba's newer X300 line which only carries a 2 year warranty, but I've never had a RMA experience with Toshiba so it is hard to say if there is any value in the extra year warranty. I would recommend this drive if you can get it at an price that beats other brands at the same size and RPM.
