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

It died half full of data last week. Thats less than 90 days functioning.

Work great in my Raid 5 setup. Running 24/7 for months and no errors. Highly recommend.

Great value for the price! I switched from WD based on industry performance comparisons. So far so good. Note: they are owned by WD which is owned by Seagate.

Runs as advertised. Plugged it in as a replacemment on my Raid 10 IDE cluster. No issues at all. Hitachi drives seem to be outlasting my Western Digital Drives. They just work.

HARD DRIVE RUNS AT 53C WHEN NOT UNDER LOAD, WHICH GREATLY SHORTENS THE LIFESPAN. YOU MUST BUY A FAN WITH THIS PRODUCT, AND POINT IT DIRECTLY AT THE HARD DRIVE ENCLOSURE, OR ELSE YOUR HARD DRIVE WILL FAIL. NOT RECOMMENDED PURCHASE. ... On the bright side, after 3 years of continuous use with a fan, the hard drive continues to run.

Perfect!!

HDD has multiple reallocated sectors.

This is a very smooth & cool running hard drive. Hardly notice its on. Lightning fast!

When I bought this I was glad that the price was so low however with that comes some risk which I sadly learned with this purchase. I bought this drive to use as a storage drive for steam games. I went to load up another game when I got home and the drive quit. I was unable to open the disk in explorer. every time I launched any of my games they would crash stating data is missing. I power cycled the PC and still was unable to read from the drive. Ive only owned the drive 4 months. when I got it the drive read as 0 days used when I first plugged it in as I was expecting it to be used from other reviews so I was expecting then for it to last. My take away from this is if you buy cheep dont put to much faith in it.

SO FAR SO GOOD VARY PLEASED WITH IT I HOPE IT LASTS A LONG LONG TIME I HAVE HAD TERRIBLE AWFUL TIME WITH MY TWO SEAGATE DRIVES A NEW WESTERN DIGITAL FROM INFINITY BROKEN USELESS AFTER 5 DAYS A BRAND NEW TOSHIBA 2TB WITH A SOFTWARE CRASH AFTER 3 DAYS LOST OVER 500 GB OF MY FAVORITE THINGS A TOTAL NIGHTMARE TRYING TO RECOVER THEM WAS ONLY ABLE TO RECOVER SOME OF MY JPEGS PHOTOS I RETURNED IT TO STAPLES,,HITACH ONLINE REVIEWS I READ WERE GOOD ITS BEEN RUNNING EVERY DAY ALMOST ALL DAY LONG FOR NEARLY HAFT A YEAR NOW
