As someone who owns 5 of these Toshiba rebadged Hitachi 'Deathstars' has 2 running as dump and gaming drives in his PC with 2 in a NAS and 1 sitting in a external HDD dock - They are all running smoothly. I too was scared at picking them up at first given that they're priced lower if not similar to the cheapest seagate drives out there that keep dying within 2 weeks or arriving DOA. But i took the risk the 2 in my NAS spend more time in power saving mode then being accessed due to the stupid hours i now work. With that aside even the drives in my PC have worked solidly over the 6-8 months that ive had them and they are definitely pretty nippy.

The whole "Im not buying because deathstar" joke is old and overused and really bares little to no relation at all to the drives that are being made today other than the branding. Times have changed those 'DEATHSTARS' were in fact IBM made drives that were being relabeled by Hitachi so its not exactly Hitachi's fault though maybe they could have paid more attention to R&D or QC

My NAS also has a pair of Hitachi Deathstars. >35k hours of uptime and still chugging away.
