No issues whatsoever.These were new, bulk-packaged HDDs, in a plain white package (appearing to be packaged by Toshiba). For the price, it is a great value for my uses..They are Genuine Toshiba HDDs, but NOTE:.They have a 2 Year Toshiba Warranty, but the 4 I received were Manufactured August 2014, so they were out of Toshiba's warranty period.These Toshiba HDD are 2.5 Inch MQ01ABD-V Series specialty, Video Stream HDDs:."The MQ01ABD-V series is suitable for video editing, set-top-box (STB), digital video recorders (DVR) and network video recorders (NVR) applications where large capacity, low power and low acoustics are critical."."Applications: Video Editing Systems, Set-Top-Box (STB), Digital Video Recorders (DVR), and Network Video Recorders (NVR).".Buffer Size 16 MiB or 8 MiBRotation Speed 5,400 rpmInternal Transfer Speed 638.9 ~ 1288.6 Mbit/s Typ.MTTF 600,000 hours.From 2015 Toshiba MQ01ABDxxxV – Video Stream HDD – Product Overview.

I bought this as a replacement hard drive for my laptop which was originally only with a 50 GB hard drive. I was able to clone that hard drive with this new one and it has worked flawlessly. Very good value for the money and exactly what I needed I would buy again if I had a need for another one.

as described

It’s fine. Works well, decent speed, and low noise level. Would not recommend if you’re using this in a machine with inefficient fans.
