What an awful mess.

Had this running for a day now with some observations:-
When installing via a USB to SATA adaptor (thought I'd try it externally first before fitting into a machine), it only detects about 1TB of data. I was a bit worried but it's fine once installed internally into a machine's SATA port, which would then see the full 8TB. I formatted as GPT rather than MBR.
Pros
Great storage capacity for the money (bought significantly cheaper than other 8TB drives, even the SMR drives).
Seems reasonably speedy
Arrived in nicely padded packaging - it would seem Amazon have improved since some of the other reviews!
Cons
Seems to run hotter than other drives (the 9w rating vs most other drives 6w would explain this, but note this run)
Noisier than other drives I have. I wouldn't say as bad as some reviews make out, but you can definitely heard the clunk of writing and the whirr of the drive spinning.
In summary, I'm on the fence still whether to buy a second on of these, or spend more money on a quieter drive... My one doesn't seem as bad as some of the comments make out, however sufficient for me not to rush out and buy a second one just yet...
Will update in future if there are any changes.
Update (1 week): I decided to buy a second one more because I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of taking the first one out of the machine it was in to put into a second machine and copying all the files around.
Noise wise, once setup and have the drive sleep after an hour of in activity, does make it better however I can understand for a lot of people it probably doesn't work for them.
So my summary persists for now
An average drive but noisy and emits heat, however it is currently priced better than the competition to compensate...
Update Nov 2019: 6 months in and both drives working fine. Main one is one 24/7. Noise levels are no worse than originally..
Update April 2020: 12 months on and both drives still working fine. Main one has still been running 24/7. Once again, noise levels are no worse than before. Raising my rating to 4 stars, since although not perfect due to increased noise and heat, they have been good value and worked well and proven reliable so far.
Update August 2020: over a year on, both drives have been running 24/7 now and touch wood, both perfectly reliable. Given their price point and the fact they've been running now in machines in a warm, humid cellar (25c-30c with around 70-90pct humidity), these drives have now in my eyes eventually earned a well deserved 5 star rating despite my original misgivings...

Updated. It has just failed after 6 months of very light use as a secondary drive in a machine that spends most of its time on standby. I suspect this is a bad batch being sold cheap


I've spent the last few weeks looking for a new HD drive to compliment my SSD drives. Currently there are 3 makers of HD drives; Seagate, Weston Digital and Toshiba. All other HD drives are OEM from these 3.
Normally I'd go with Seagate, they have been around a long time and are normally a decent drive at a fair price but recently they have been adding shingled drives into the consumer drive market (for more info google 'Shingled magnetic recording' and more importantly see the increased resource/write overheads), and whilst these are decent enough for archive purposes, they are not really ideal for a gaming rig.
So that leaves WD or Toshiba, and as the later is a 7200 drive and is almost half the price of the similar WD Black I'm replacing & hearing good things about them, I thought I'd give it a try, and I'm glad I did. It's fast, at a good price and is much quieter than the WD Black it replaced. I went with the retail version because it comes in decent packaging, that was important for me, I'm not sure I'd risk an OEM/Bulk version due to the poor packaging that Amazon uses for OEM HD drives.
I'll be sure to edit this if I have any future problems with the drive.
