    Not bad

    Used to models from the 2 main manufacturers, I wanted to test this one based on the positive feedback.
    I only had one Toshiba drive on an IDE laptop a long time ago.
    The advantage of this brand is that, as with Seagate, you can update the firmware, but it's hard to find :(
    For those interested, the direct link is as follows:

    The disk diagnostic tool is available below:
    https://www.canvio.jp/en/support/download/hdd/ot_sdt/en.htm

    The procedure is a bit cumbersome because it only works under Windows, but if you follow the steps in the manual you'll get there.
    I don't have enough experience of using it to give it 5 stars, so for the time being I'll leave it at 4.
    The LDLC service is always impeccable and helped me with the purchase.

    Well protected

    Received in a thick cardboard box, with inflatable cushions on each side, it protects well during transport. Very quiet, you don't hear it scratching or hardly at all, and it doesn't whistle. Fits perfectly in DS920 and DX517.

    Correct

    I took this drive for its capacity and speed and the fact that it is specifically designed for a NAS. It does the job and has been working properly for a few weeks. I'm just sorry that it scratches a bit, which can be a bit annoying if you place it, like me, near your TV :) ... but nothing bad either, if you have the means, prefer an SSD :-)
