I've not been able to test how fast it is yet, since I have it in an enclosure connected to a USB2 port, but it's speedy enough for me. It also runs quite cool - I could only measure a 12 degree increase above ambient after it was on for a couple of hours copying 88GB of data to it just now, and that's inside the small plastic box that is my dustproof HDD caddy with no ventilation, which impressed me.
Seagate - the Fiat of the HDD world - 2 years and the doors fall off!!!
Perhaps the negative reviewers could name and shame the companies selling the bad drives, to see if there is a pattern of bad drives being sent out again and again, and also if any particular company is not packaging correctly. All of mine (so far) have come well padded in a sturdy cardboard box.
At least we Toshiba buyers seem to be more intelligent than most; I read a review for a Samsung tablet giving 1 star because the buyer mistook the mSD slot for a SIM slot!!!
For those who have suffered from poor packaging, here is how ADMI sent mine

The only downside is that it's louder than any other hard drive I've had (which, to be fair, isn't that many) - I'd say it's about three or four times as loud as a WD Blue, for reference. Even through headphones (if nothing's playing), you'll definitely notice when the drive is reading or writing. However, I would still say it's worth it. It's not annoying, although it does take some getting used to, because at first you might think the drive is dying or something.
As a reference, I bought this 17 months ago for £61.95. In that time, it has been powered on for 9,952 hours. It's still going strong with no SMART errors or weird behaviour. With sequential reads of 142 mb/s and sequential writes of 138.9 mb/s (at 62% full), it's a pretty standard speed - almost identical to my 1 TB WD Blue.

Maybe its just this particular drive or the 2TB are just louder, I bought a Seagate Barracuda as well to try and the noise level from that is much better but it seems it 'may' not be as robust as its lighter, so reluctantly I went with the Seagate. The 1TB Toshiba I had has been so reliable I wanted to use Toshiba again but the noise is just too much.
Item listed as brand new. Looked clean. Packaging adequate (Lithium Ion battery box, containing antistatic bagged bare drive, wrapped in bubble wrap) - not great, but acceptable.
Item delivered was used. Dented case, four pre-existing Windows system partitions.
Date code from early 2018.
I haven't retrieved the SMART data yet, but will update when I do.
I would have returned this, but was in an emergency situation to get a very important machine up quickly. Drive works, but for how long? I'm not hopeful, so I installed additional backup measures - realtime file backups, and nightly full disk imaging. Will replace the drive as soon as possible.
