Toshiba P300 3TB Desktop 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200rpm Internal Hard Drive

Fast for HDD, no problems.
Nice HDD, works great for now. Really usefull, if you need space for pictures, videos in your computer.
Put in my new HDD today. Installation went fine and HDD works correctly.
Running strong so far. I don't really notice the noise. Tons of space. Load time on games like PUBG are good for an HDD.
Works great, faster than my old HDD (HD103SJ), plenty of space, and cheap.

Toshiba DT01ACA300 3.5-Inch 3TB 7200 RPM Hard Drive

Use this in my home theater pc. Works great. Fast and wonderful. Large amounts of storage. Very happy.
I use it as a gaming storage drive (Steam) and it is as fast as any other HDD I've ever had.
Its not a ssd but the speed of this hdd is pretty good.
Very quiet and working great so far. Great price as well for a 3TB drive - a diamond in the rough.
The worst HDD i ever used, it died after 3 months of less than moderate usage.

Toshiba P300 3TB Desktop 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200rpm Internal Hard Drive

This is my 3rd Toshiba 3TB SATA internal desktop hard drive. I like this.
Bought this Sept. 2017 as I needed additional file storage space on my personal pc. No complaints so far.
Does the job, it's a standard 3.5 3TB drive. No problems yet.
After plugging it in to the computer it wouldn’t post. Tried a new hdd with the same cable and sata port and it worked perfectly.
It was cheap enough so I can't really complain. It does not come with a SATA cable.

Toshiba DT01ACA300 3.5-Inch 3TB 7200 RPM Hard Drive

I have successfully used the Toshiba DT01ACA300 with Win7 Restore and Backup as desktop internal hard disks on SATA connectors.
Make sure you are using a connection method that supports SATA III drives, otherwise your speeds will be slower.
I got this as my second drive on my pc build. It works great and was easy to install.
I have yet to have any problems with this drive. I use it for additional storage on my PC. Works as expected.
I have tried taking it out of the computer and plugging it in with a SATA/USB adapter, and still nothing.
