I use the HD Tune Pro hard drive utility to measure their speed and drive health. They seem to be a cool running drive, at least in my application. Toshiba hard drives are quite an underrated brand, in my opinion. Two year warranty is acceptable and is competitive with other brand, I would prefer three year warranty of course.

Effective tips for a successful HDD data recovery with EaseUS HDD recovery software:
- Your Hard Disk Drive (HDD) can be either an internal or external one. If it's an external HDD, you must correctly connect it to your computer using a proper cable, and it's going to appear in the 'External Devices' section in EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard.
- If the HDD data was lost due to a quick format, partition loss or deletion, switch to the 'Lost Partition Files' tab to check the scan results after scanning the HDD.
Here's the standard process to scan and find lost data on an HDD:
Step 1. Choose your HDD partition(according to its drive letter or partition label) as the target disk and click the Scan button.
Step 2. Now it comes to the scanning process. Usually, it takes a while to finish this stage, but you can always stop midway as soon as the lost files were found and displayed in the results. That's one of the competitive strengths of EaseUS HDD recovery software. Of cause, it's better to wait until the last second gets over.
Step 3. When all lost data shows up in front of you again, feel free to check the desired items and click the Recover button. Do not choose the original drive for the recovered data. It's at risk of data overwriting.
Other Tips to Restore Toshiba Data
Here are a few common tips you could try to recover lost data from a Toshiba hard disk drive:
1. Access the Device with Another PC
If your laptop or desktop computer is not able to access your Toshiba hard drive files and data, you can connect it to another computer. If you can access the hard drive but cannot access your data, owing to accidental deletion or formatting, probably the best thing you could do is stop writing any new data to the hard drive.
2. Recover Deleted Data from Recycle Bin
If you lost data from your Toshiba hard disk drive, then go to Recycle Bin and restore it to your PC.
Step 1. Open Recycle Bin on your PC.
Step 2. Double-click on the file you want to restore, and select 'Restore'.
3. Use Toshiba Recovery Utility
Some Toshiba laptops include the Toshiba Hard Drive Recovery Utility, which is stored in a special partition on the hard disk drive, along with the system files. This utility can be used for the ‘recovery’ of the hard disk drive to its original factory state. Hold down the 0 (zero) key. You will see 3 options:
- Restore original factory image (recommended).
- Restore partition C: of HDD without changing current partition size (Advanced option).
- Restore image to C: partition with user-specified size (Advanced option).
Choose any of the options and continue with the easy process.
Conclusion
The extra solutions above are simple but have many limitations. Unless the hard drive is severely physically damaged, perhaps the best way to repair the drive would be to format it. Therefore, to recover your lost data, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard must be your first choice.
