Opinion on Toshiba HDDs?

That is ridiculously cheap, and 7200 RPMs. Something I'd buy to replace my loud-reading-and-writing WD Black.

Anyone try any Toshiba HDDs before? I've heard they're like the old Hitachi before they were bought out (I have a 1TB Hitatchi from then and it's still going strong) Anyone know who their OEM is?

Just another middle of the road glass platter hard drive. Western Digital sold Hitachi's hard drive manufacturing to Toshiba circa 2012 IIRC.

Humm. Perhaps their standards have returned to pre-WD levels.
