Toshiba 1TB 5400RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5 inch Notebook Hard Drive (MQ01ABD100V) - 1 Year Warranty,Usb

ordered almost if not a year ago still working and works great

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great hard drive, price wasn't too bad, either. Bought an enclosure for it and they both work well.

Perfect replacement for HP laptop

I purchased this drive to replace the stock HDD for a Unifi Cloud Key 2+ (UCK2+) which is the exact same drive. I use it for recording security camera footage. When I installed this "new" drive, everything work fine at first. However, once the drive filled up, my UCK2+ crashed and I had to factory reset it. Once I did that, it was showing a drive warning and that I should replace the drive.I removed the HDD and put it into a USB HDD enclosure to connect it to my laptop to get more details. As seen in the photo, the Current Pending Sector Count (CPSC) value is sky high (5960). You can also tell that it only has an Uptime of 196 hours. This compares to my existing HDD which had a CPSC value of 368 with an Uptime of 24,974 hours and I've had since 2019! That value of 368 was still enough to give me warnings to replace the HDD.Earlier I referred to this as a "new" HDD because the Manufacture date is 07March2018, six months older than the HDD I replaced! Not very new for a HDD ordered in May 2023. Unfortunately, I didn't install it as soon as I got it and it didn't cause issues until it was filled up so it is past the return window by less than 1 week. Also, Toshiba offers a 1 year warranty but that is also long past since it's been sitting on a shelf somewhere for 5 years.This was sold by Zephyr USA.

Well packaged, installed without a fuss, backup and running smoothly

Bueno

This drive works great in my Channelmaster DVR, very happy with it, would but it again.

Toshiba is the best hard drive brand to buy. Japanese. Never buy cheap hard drives made by .. others. You will regret it within 2 years or 3.
