A good, standard drive, if just a tad bit overpriced

By Jonathan VINE VOICE on February 20, 2014

Size: 1 TB Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )

The Toshiba PH2100U-1I54 fits my definition of a "workhorse": other drives are bigger, others are faster, others are cheaper, but this drive mostly finds a happy medium and will get most any job done.

It has decent specs all around, and if you're using this to replace a budget OEM hard drive (for the not-technically-inclined, the one your computer came with) they are probably a bit better, in which case you might notice a slight improvement in performance. It also runs pretty cool and quiet.

One thing I really liked about this drive is that there are no exposed circuits. I build and rebuild my PC every few months, and that extra little cover on the bottom means it's much less likely I'm accidentally going to scratch something. Thanks, Toshiba! (Seriously.)

The drive has the standard screw holes (four on the sides and four on the bottom), meaning that it's also a good choice to replace a PS3 hard drive (since it's compatible with all the consoles - original, slim, and super slim - both format-wise and in screw locations). Note that this drive will NOT fit in the newer "slim" form factor some laptops use.

All in all, this is a good drive. I think it might be a tad too expensive (if you asked me what was a good price I'd say $65-$70), but for all its redeeming qualities I can't fault it too much.

Dropped it into a Playstation 4, no snags or complaints

By Akash VINE VOICE on February 19, 2014

Size: 1 TB Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )

Given the giant installs that console games are requiring these days, we're finally going to NEED terabyte harddrives in them to keep more than a few games ready to play at any given time. After seeing some of the tests online which reported a pretty minimal benefit to using a HDD in a console versus an SSD, I decided to save myself some money and gain some capacity with this unit. Following some instructions online, I had zero issues getting the PS4 to recognize the drive and haven't hit any snags since. Seems to be an ideal unit for that purpose.

Toshiba 2.5 inch Internal Notebook Hard Drive

By M. Hill TOP 100 REVIEWER on February 9, 2014

Size: 1 TB Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )

This drive is being used to replace one that was failing in my laptop. So, before proceeding with the replacement, I secured a good backup of the failing drive before it became unreadable. As expected, the new drive fit perfectly where the old one had been.

Installation was easy. The old drive was mounted in a bracket with four screws, and the bracket was attached to the laptop chassis with another four screws. After removing the bracket and the old drive, I then attached the bracket to the new drive, replaced it in the laptop and put the cover back on. After installing the hard drive I booted my laptop from an emergency CD and then restored the backup I created previously. This particular product does not include hardware, software or instructions to transfer the contents of your existing drive to the new one.

The new drive is slightly faster than the old one, probably because it has more cache memory (8 MB) than the stock drive (4 MB.) My PC boots 10-20 seconds faster than before and file copies are slightly faster as well. The drive also runs cooler than the original, which was making the laptop very warm. The new device is not generating any noticeable heat. It uses standard SATA data and power connections, so it can also be used in desktop computers as well as laptops. The new drive has been running for a couple of weeks and is performing flawlessly.

Check Your BIOS

By Flying Jackolade on June 2, 2014

Size: 500 GB Verified Purchase

This little drive doubled my Laptop's storage. The hard drive in my Toshiba ( A215-S4767 ) started acting weird after about6 years in service. I called Toshiba and they gave me the information that this hard drive would be a good replacement. I did and the fun started. The Toshiba install disk after a full install gave me a message just before Window's Vista started for the first time. Windows can not use this Hardware, meaning the Hard drive as that was the only thing new on the computer. I first did a Bios update and reinstalled the Vista again and again. No luck. The remedy,toss out the Toshiba install/ restore disk and put in a virgin windows 7 install disk. Toshiba did not tell me this because after calling them several times one of the technicians for Toshiba noticed I was out of warranty and said, pay first then we can help you some more. So on my own I installed the windows 7 and the new bios update and I was back in the game. The drive so far works well and the computer with Windows 7 on it seems better then before with Window's Vista.

The drive was purchased for a PS3. This drive ...

By Consumer X on February 19, 2015

Size: 1 TB Verified Purchase

The drive was purchased for a PS3. This drive gave us the space needed to have all of our playstation plus games on the hard drive. I am not sure of what information would help others to decide if this drive is for them. This is the information that I can share. It fits perfectly into a PS3. As of today, its been in use for about a month and it works flawlessly. The system is used for many continuous hours on the weekend. The PS3 does not seem to run hotter. I have not noticed a difference in boot time. If it stops working or gives me issues, I will update.

So far it works great. No corruptions

By Maggie on June 28, 2015

Size: 1 TB Verified Purchase

Bought this to replace the old hd in my ps3. So far it works great. No corruptions, even after a big storm and we lost electric while the system was running. Speed is close enough to the same as the old hd. A few seconds here and there isn't enough for me to take the time to make a real comparison. What I needed though was space, and it does the job nicely.
