    1.0 out of 5 stars DOA Very dissapointed
    Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2024
    I received third Drive about a week ago for a pc build meant for game development, casual gaming, etc; as I finished the build I powered in my pc, and booted into windows through my boot usb drive, to my surprise, the hdd reads as 0mb free, I thought this was odd so I spent 4 hours moving around parts, switching data ports, data cords, power cords, looking through documentation, etc. Finally I went to cmd and detailed the disk only to find that the drive is basically none existent with volume, and in my bios it also shows as 0gb meaning this arrived dead. I am very dissapointed with what I received, what I paid for, what I basically work for, which in the end, was basically and virtually nothing.
