As a bonus I managed to snag a discount; desertcart were offering a 20% off voucher and so I got the 4TB model for just under Β£82, which wasn't bad. It would have been nice if desertcart's packaging had been better, a single layer of bubble wrap in one of those desertcart book mailers isn't adequate, but that said it arrived without dents or obvious external damage. This drive is significantly more noisy than my 10 year old WD Red and even in a sound dampened case I can hear it clicking away. That said it's not particularly loud, completely tolerable even though I'm sitting right next to it and anyway it's aimed primarily at datacenters where this isn't going to be a concern so should probably be expected. Speed ranges from an initial speed of about 238MiB/sec to 98MiB/sec under a full disk write. In practice this disk is pretty fast for spinning rust. It does seem to run a bit hot under heavy load so I'd suggest monitoring it's reported SMART temperature (max 46Β°C) and relocating the drive / increasing fan speeds as appropriate. As for installation, I do what I normally do with new drives and ran a SMART extended (long) test which took a little under 8 hours. This test reveled several bad sectors and after two more runs with a write in between the bad sector count had somewhat strangely decreased but was still there. The acceptable number of bad sectors on a new drive is zero, and given I probably wouldn't be getting that deal again I decided to avoid returning it and instead raise a warranty claim with Toshiba. Although the web-based claim process was easy there were a couple of snags: it has to be sent to their service center in Germany and thanks to the "no trade barriers" Brexit deal you *cannot* simply print off a CN22 and stick it to the box. Instead you need to print off *3* copies of the supplied proforma invoice, include 2 of them in a clear document pouch ON the box (not IN the box!) and give the third to the courier / parcel shop. Toshiba provide a label, which you print off and then can either arrange free collection or take to a UPS-contracted 'parcel shop' / convenience store. I went with the latter although probably should have just arranged collection; I'm not sure what was going on but I got the impression the store really didn't want to take the package even though it was small. Total turn around time was 5 working days with it sent out on Monday and a brand new replacement back in my hands Friday. Excellent service Toshiba! Review: Running my games from this, working brilliant! Good price for capactity - I've had this a few months now, I've nearly filled it with games, works brilliant, benchmarks are nothing to shout about, but fast enough to play the latest games on. Noise is reasonable. For the price it's a pretty good deal, just remember the bigger the drive the more space you lose due the the way computer storage is calculated, you're still getting the correct size regardless. On bigger drives like this it's almost 2tb under 20tb, regardless it'll be the same for any 20tb drive you purchase, it's just how it works. *Update, used heavily daily bought March 2024, now Dec 2025, runs perfectly still ## Features - 3.5'' SATA or SAS Hard Drive - 24/7 operation - Toshiba Stable Platter Technology - Persistent Write Cache technology - Flexibility in block size and SIE and SED options - Compatible devices: desktop ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0716ZNGWR | | Best Sellers Rank | 39,252 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 121 in Internal Hard Drives | | Box Contents | Toshiba MG Series Enterprise 4TB 3.5’’ SATA 6Gbit/s Internal HDD 7200RPM 550TB/year 24/7 operation.

Some sellers may be selling HDD (with no warranty, used/pull HDD sold as new, etc.). Our stock, however, is 100% new with 5 year warranty. **Q: Does this drive use SMR (shingled magnetic recording)?** A: No the HDD is enterprise class and uses faster CMR track writing. **Q: Bogus description: the blurb for this drive refers to the wrong product : namely canvio ready 2.5 inch, please correct amazon** A: Hello, the seller will need Amazon to update the description. **Q: Title says "toshiba ... 3.5" sata", details say "interface serial attached scsi" & "the canvio ready 2.5 inch external hard drive" what is correct?** A: There are a number of description errors here 1. the model number is wrong, is for 16TB version. 2 is not SCSI but ATA, SCSI are more expensive. I suggest Amazon to sort this out with the seller until then hold. NOTE The model number is critical if you want to use it for NAS units as NAS manufacturer lists only approved drives to be used. I had a different drive model supplied which different to the listed model and NAS rejected the new drive. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value for money *by L***N on 23 August 2023* I usually buy Western Digital drives but given their recent anti-consumer practices (secretly supplying shingled drives where it used to be CMR, drives which issue a SMART failure after 3 years of operational time regardless of their actual condition and most recently the issues with their SSD subsidy SanDisk where rather than recall defective SSD's they simply cut the price in half in an apparent attempt to get rid of them) I decided to try another brand.

They have rock solid reliability (which is what you want in a NAS) but I must admit they are LOUD. It's like a box of bolts rattling beneath my desk - hence one star off. Consequently they probably couldn't be used in a living room or bedroom environment, but ideally operated in a garden shed at the bottom of the garden! With 8tb SSD's now readily available (but costing much more) I guess that may be the way to go if your budget allows it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Toshiba 4TB Enterprise Internal Hard Drive – MG Series 3.5" SATA HDD for Server, Storage, 24/7 Operation, Hyperscale, Cloud (MG04ACA400E) - Seagate 16TB ST16000NM001G Exos X16 SATA 6Gb/s 7.2K RPM 512e/4Kn 256Mb, OEM, Mechanical Hard Disk - UGREEN Hard Drive Enclosure, USB 3.0 to SATA HDD Caddy for 2.5 3.5 inch SSD HDD Disk up to 16TB with DC Power Adapter, Tool-free Lay-Flat Hard Drive Docking Station for Windows Linux macOS, PS4, Xbox --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/84408676-mg-series](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/84408676-mg-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
