Customers are saying

Customers find value in the 5TB Internal Serial ATA Hard Drive's large storage capacity and its generally reliable performance. Many appreciate its affordability and ease of installation, although some users note that it can be noisy and run slightly warm. Positive feedback also highlights the drive's speed and included cache. However, the audible noise level is a recurring concern for some customers.

    Reliable so far, but there is a catch

    These seem to be relatively speedy drives and there is no sign yet of bad sectors (> 1 month in operation), but caution as to accessibility of the full drive space. Most Windows will not natively accept these as 5TB drives even with crafty partitioning. Yes, it's doable (especially for pure storage), but don't use them as a system drive and expect all 5TB.

    The drive is louder than my WD Black, but for the price of a 5GB. It can't be beat. Great for storing media you don't care much about. I wouldn't rely on this for more personal data like images or documents that can't be replaced (not backed up).
