Review: lo compre para un ps4 funciono correctamente, muy recomendable, excelente calidad
Review: This is what I found out about these HDDs. I bought 4 of these to use as External HDDs (by adding enclosures) for PC data backups for a small non-profit company. They work fine. No issues whatsoever. These were new, bulk-packaged HDDs, in a plain white package (appearing to be packaged by Toshiba). For the price, it is a great value for my uses. . They are Genuine Toshiba HDDs, but NOTE: . They have a 2 Year Toshiba Warranty, but the 4 I received were Manufactured August 2014, so they were out of Toshiba's warranty period. These Toshiba HDD are 2.5 Inch MQ01ABD-V Series specialty, Video Stream HDDs: .

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work in my ps4**
A: Sorry, I don't know, we only sell them for laptops.

**Q: Do this fit in a Satellite L775-S7130?**
A: It should fit without a problem.  Just be careful that you install properly.

**Q: Is the hard drive a new drive?  I did not see any were if it is new or not.**
A: Mine was new, probably “old stock”.

**Q: How long is the warranty?**
A: unless otherwise stated by the seller, warranty for these drives is 3 years from date of purchase (not of delivery), when you register within 30 days directly on the manufacturer's website.  regardless, it is always good to have a redundant backup of all your important data on multiple drives since warranty won't cover data loss.
