For 2019 and earlier one can use the search bar.
Edit to add: Past posts in earlier deal discussions, like this post, indicate the drive (at least in the past) was shuckable. Some, like this post, likewise claim this drive is SMR which may account for the horrible speeds some claim they have.

the worst case was barracuda 3TB when APM is enable and parking the head within very short period of idle
Had a problem with one Toshiba portable drive that was slightly out of spec with how much power it draws and would have issues on one specific model of Toshiba laptop's USB 3.0 port. Had to use a powered USB hub any time I connected that portable drive to those particular laptops.
It is not uncommon that many hard drives will give off excessive heat under long read/write operations. If one is concerned, use additional cooling on the drive and or cut additional air circulation holes/vents in the external drive enclosure.
It runs pretty fast for the first few GB (around 70MB/s) but then it slows down to under 1MB/s for several minutes.
Tried backing up a laptop which usually takes 2-3 hours. After 10+ hours I gave up because it was under half done and was a 0 MB/s
I'm guessing it's the SMR (Shingled magnetic recording)
Whatever it is this drive is super slow for large file transfers.
It's going back to costco.
