Using this drive for a year and it's quiet. They all make the slight spin up/down noise when entering/exiting standby.

How much slower will this be compared to a budget SSD. I'm a gamer and need space but want performance. I tend to put my most frequently used games on my SSD but my tiny Hard drive at the moment is not sufficient for the rest of my games which means I have a lot of juggling around whenever I want to try a new game.

about 2.5 time slower. SSD generally is around 500 MB/s. this drive is about 200MB/S, its about as fast as HDD can go . Unless it really intensive game with tons of load time. this should be enough

Is the noise really much louder? And is it all the time or only when being used heavily?? Need a large drive was looking into the 4tb version before seeing this, seems to me similar to the wb black?

So it's that 1 extra RPM that takes it from a regular performance HDD to an Extreme performance Hard-drive.

Is this a Toshiba Spinal Tap Edition? It's not a 7,200 rpm drive but a 7,201 rpm drive so it goes 1 higher for when you really need that extra oomph.

Who needs 5TB high performance ?? An ssd and a green type hdd is surely the better option.

Actually there are (were) laptops with 3.5" HDD drive inside. Yeah, I was shocked too ;-)

Bad feedback on ebuyer reviews, noisy drive compared to others being the major complaint.

I guess it's a bit like the WD Black drives - yes it is noisier, but that's the price you'd pay for higher performance. I think the main source of increased noise is that the seeking movement on these drives is more aggressive.

This drive is 1 faster so you get the extra noise of the tubes being pushed into overdrive.

7201 is the number of the beast. Beware of this drive.
