Pros & Cons
Pros
Great harddrive. Works well with no disconnects. Slight background noise occasionally, but not distracting at all.
Cons
No mention of remanufacturing in the description. Returned for refund and purchased 2 seagate drives instead. Lookup toshiba warranty/rma uk.
Highlights
Quality
The product is high quality as respected.
Fantastic drive i have them in a mirrored pair and have had no issues i would recommend these drives.
T error and went faulty and when replacing another, that one made a grinding noise and wasn’t recognised.
Toshiba seemed to have a serious quality control issue or there was a bad batch in circulation.
Price
Good value for money, and worth it for the 3year warranty.
Great spec hdd at this price point.
These are excellent value but you sure do hear them more when major read writes are underway.

As per other reviews, packaging not sufficient to rule out postal damage.
Competitiveness
The drive performance is very fast, around 250mb/s (a lot better than wd red plus models).
This is the same policy as wd and seagate.
One of the drives showed a lot more hours than the other threeas they are stock returns and a lower cost i accepted the extra hours.
Good alternative to the traditional providers of nas drives.
