Toshiba MG04ACA 6 TB 3.5" Internal Hard Drive MG04ACA600E

I could not tell if this drive was new or not when I purchased it. I could not see the date of manufacture in the image. I suspected it was not new but the listing included the following: "Buy this product as Renewed and save $9.00 off the current New price." I decided to take a chance with it.The drive was manufactured in 2016 and according to Toshiba's web site, the 5 year warranty ended Sept. 21, 2021The drive could be perfectly fine (I have not taken it out of the anti-static bag). But I do not want to risk my data on a 5+ years old drive.The 5 year warranty on the drive is through the seller.Listings like this should explicitly say "used" or "refurbished" to indicate an item is not new. I am returning this.And as a final touch, Amazon delivered it a day late with no explanation.

Bought in june '22, died in march '24 only used for 1 TB of steam games.

Bought this Toshiba 3.5' 6TB HDD at NEW condition in Dec 2021, failed within 1 year the bad sectors kept growing and apparently a failing disk. Never dropped it, very light use less than 4 hours per day, and well secured in hard drive tray.Since it said 5 years warranty when I bought it, I thought it'll be covered at least for factory. And turns out it's out of warranty already! This disk is never new when bought, it's out of warranty when it sold to me as a NEW condition.

This product was marketed as a 6tb drive. It's a little bigger than a 1tb drive. It seems to be functional however I would never have bought have I known it's not a 6tb. You can get better 1tb's elsewhere cheaper... Already had plenty I needed something bigger!

I'm not sure why some are wondering if the drives are 1TB or 4TB, I purchased and received 6 drives and they were all the correct size (6TB).Another user mentioned the drives were manufactured in 2016 and therefore weren't new or were refurbished/recertified. As far as I can tell these drives have not been used before. The SMART info shows all 6 of the drives I bought have been powered on for 0 hours. My guess is these drives were purchased originally by an OEM and sat in a warehouse for years before being sold off to this Amazon seller, or perhaps this seller IS that OEM.In any case I'm happy, they are the correct size, they are new, they were cheap, and they have 5 year warranty (assuming this seller sticks around that long).

After doing extensive reading on the toshiba, it is not a good purchase ... it is refurb ... if you don't mind buying refurb then for you it might be ok, the problem is the fact that the add doesn't state it is refurb. Western Digital has acquired HGST ... they no longer manufacture under the name HGST, it is all now WD labeled ...

I use this for my video edits, photos, Steam/Origin/Battlenet/etc. games, and it does the job I just wish it wasn't sooooo loud! I can most times hear it over my case fans and I have 13 fans... Other than that it does the job!

I do a lot of 3D graphics art and due to the size of the multitude of software and the massive collection of DLCs assets scenes yada yada yada I learned real fast 4tb ain’t gonna cut it. This puppy definitely helped! I still have a little over a terabyte left. That should last a while. This was for a good price too! It looked like new when I received it! Packaging was top notch as well! Definitely a good buy!
