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

I am content with getting what I paid for, but it was not exactly what was listed. PRO: VERY high quality hard drive Drive passed 72 hours of testing and diagnostics CON: Poor packaging Drives do not have manufacture warranty Drives appear to be refurbished

Fast.

Great product!!!! Hi quality!!!! fast shipping!!!

The only caution here is that this drive only supports 512KiByte. Its clear on the datasheet (if you can find the one from Hitachi), but not all that clear in the description. Works okay in a RAID-Z configuration with some 4M block size drives mixed in, but Im sure Im losing some performance with that variation between devices.

Ridiculously annoying noise. I RMAd it and the replacement had exactly the same sound.

No problems, works great.

I have reviewed on-line post regarding comparison of Hitachi drives (1 to 5 year) failure study and the Hitachi series out-last all the other major hard drive manufacturers. As long as Hitachi keeps up this standard they will always have my money for my ZFS servers.

Very high quality drive. Will last years.
