HGST/Hitachi (HUA723020ALA641) Ultrastar 7K3000 2TB 64MB 7200RPM 3.5 (Enterprise Grade) SATA III 6.0Gb/s Hard Drive

Like other people said, it is a loud drive, works as intended tho.

I actually ordered two of these hard drives. One did not perform as expected. It was returned for a full refund. The second has performed flawlessly thus far. Specs and reputation of these drives are outstanding. The price is fantastic

very fast delivery worked great

Fast. High capacity. Louder than other drives but I wanted capacity and integrity. Thus far it has been doing great as a data drive. My OS is on a SSD.

Because I didnt have any problems with the seller and the HDD is cheap, it receives 4 stars. Its pretty fast for a 7200RPM drive, i think its reliable, but my only complaint is that its really loud. When things write or get read from the drive, the drive vibrates like crazy. I replaced it with a Seagate HHSD and that drive is much quieter. Online I read that Hitachi holds the reputation for being the most reliable drive, so I keep this Hitachi as my system backup drive. If you dont care for the sound though, this is a great drive.

Its quick, its quiet (I havent heard it yet) and for the price I could not ask for more!

I never thought I would be writing a negative review about drives. I have never been particularly brand loyal because I know that out of x number of drives, some will fail early in their life cycle and some will go the extra mile. Either I have been fantastically lucky over the years, or the victim of some very random bad luck with these, but I have to say, these supposedly being enterprise class raid suitable drives I got 2 for 2 bad units. Every single one of my consumer grade (other brand) hard drives purchased over the last 6 or so years are still going strong. I got these to add to my new home server build to avoid having an entire array of same name, same production drives with the goal of spreading the MTTF odds in my favor but at the end of the raid build 1 (failed) one of these was totally dead and is now on the way back to go hard drive (which have been great by the way, so far, hassle free and very responsive so not a slam on them) While I am waiting for them to verify the dead drive I have purchased another to get back up and running, on build attempt number 2 the second death star is reporting 78 bad sectors and its already making noise, less than 10 hours old. I dont hold out any hope that it will survive the raid build. **Update! Woke up this morning to find the 2nd of the 2 drives I ordered failed in my array. Last time it was working it had posted 97 bad sectors found. So, I am returning 2 of 2 and requesting a refund this time. That said, my array is currently rebuilding using the RMA drive 1 that was originally DOA. Fingers crossed.

got the drive nicely packed and static bag sealed. checked smart data and had only 49 hours on. pretty much a brand new drive. probably from my usage of a few days

No problems. Works great.

amazing
