A 7mm laptop HDD for my photo/vidoe archives.

I ordered it from Ali express but surprisingly and thankfully, it is still working well after 3 years of use, this drive is not meant for boot drive but for storing small games and movies and all normal use, If you want a fast drive order SSD.

It reads and writes successfully. Job done.

It spins. You can read from it and write to it. What more do I want?

Excellent SFF factor HDD for file storage. Very quiet and fast.

Another favorite of mine, fast and lots of storage space, whisper quiet.

It was dirt cheap and I only use it for games with short load times (e.g. non-demanding indie games) and for storing movies/music, so the 5400rpm speed doesn't bother me. Obviously would not recommend using as a boot drive.

Massive storage for my movies and stuff at a small foot print. perfect for mini ITX case.

Really wanted to run dual m.2 but my options are limited in this form factor. Does what it says on the box, what else can I say? Using this for all non-executable files (docs, music, media, etc.)

One of the best Price/Performance HDD's I could find, and from a brand I trust. It makes this funky "prong" noise when I shut my computer down, and I've kind of grown to like it.
