Go to solution Solved by AresKrieger,

I'm interested in getting the 6TB edition and as far as amazon reviews state it's quite the decent drive, not slow, and large capacity. Also the bad reviews have decent responses from Toshiba representatives. My other option is WD 6TB Green but that slow speed really puts me off...

Yeah green drives suck, this one seems fine that's about all I can say about it as it isn't slow but is still a HDD, and hasn't done anything problematic, runs quietly too, hopefully it is good quality (knock on wood) but I haven't heard anything really bad about toshiba drives so I think it was a good choice for mass storage.

Hi!

 

Anyone has any experience with the X300 series of Toshiba hard drives? They appear to be up to 6TB capacity with 7200 rpm and 128MB cache. Are they any good? I'm looking to replace my dead Seagate Archive drive.

 

Thanks

They have a higher failure rate than other companies' products

My 3TB hard drive is fine that I got with them (knock on wood) but I'm not sure of how good they on average, and the reason I got mine was a combination of avoiding seagate and still trying to get one for cheap

And that's the usage I intend to follow. No OS, no games, just storage. Thanks for the heads up :)
