Model overview based on user reviews  
The Toshiba P300 P300 hard drive receives mixed reviews from users. Many appreciate its affordable price and decent speed, making it suitable for basic storage needs. However, a common complaint is the noise level, with several users noting that the drive is noisy and vibrates, which can be distracting. Some users have experienced issues with reliability, reporting that the drive can become unreliable after several months of use, with problems like crackling sounds and data errors. While a few users have had positive experiences, citing stable performance over years, others recommend considering alternatives like Seagate or Western Digital for better reliability and quieter operation. Overall, the Toshiba P300 P300 is a budget-friendly option but may not be the best choice for those sensitive to noise or seeking long-term reliability.

If someone says that a hard drive is bad, then either they have no skills or it's defective. Of course, nowadays SSDs are the main choice, this hard drive is just for file storage. My result is nearly 32,000 hours of operation.
5 years of stable operation Was the cheapest in its segment
not a very pleasant scraping noise during operation, but not loud, especially if the case is closed and placed somewhere under the desk.

It's better to pay extra for Seagate or WD, with this drive you can only create a file dump, but considering the noise it makes during operation...

It's been working for over a year
Noise - a warm, tube-like crackling from the heads, it feels like I'm back in 2007.

Performance - you can't store games on it, even CS GO freezes periodically. The linear write speed might be fine, but random file access suffers significantly. It also lags quite a bit when opening a film for the first time or resuming from pause after stepping away to make tea. Didn't have anything close to these issues with WD and Seagate.

I have been using it for 11 months, from the 9th month minor problems began (I began to slowly upload files that have been stored on it for a long time). From the 10th month, problems with the HDD only began to increase, it became noisier, when saving files from 2GB, they began to break down (not open), you have to delete and reload, and it can only be successful after 3-4 attempts. Now (at the 11th month) errors at the system level began to fly into everything, from the discharge, when the disk freezes the whole computer (although the whole system is on a Samsung EVO SSD, when this HDD was turned off, the computer flew like new). I ran this HDD through a check for broken cells and then a full test, it turned out that the disk was already damaged by 48% and several dozen errors. Fortunately, there is a 2-year warranty, I will take it under warranty one of these days, I hope they will return the money or change it to a new one.
