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

its noisy but i expect the rest to be 5 stars, has the best pedigree. so far so good

Bought as a replacement for a backup drive that bricked. This is a great drive at a great price. Highly recommended.

So far so good! Its working great. Ran a couple diagnostics and all sectors were clear. Seems like I got a good one because mine didnt have any runtime on it.

I was looking for a more reliable hard drive after only getting 2 years out of a crappy Seagate drive(I will never by Seagate again). This 2TB drive has been very fast and reliable so far. It is an enterprise drive so it is a little louder, but believe me a little sound trade off for a more reliable drive is definetily worth it. I have only had the drive for about a year, but I have a very good feeling about this one. Oh and I run my computer 24/7.

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.

This is a first day review of the 2TB HGST. Quiet and runs cool. Downside is 130 GB unavailable prior to formatting and partitioning. Thats a lot of missing space. I expect this drive will perform very well.

Read an article about being the most reliable drives on the market. I bought two to replicate my data. So far so good.

It was the upgrade I was looking for.

I would give it five stars if it were new as it was described but its been used. Ive had it since January, 2015 and its still running solid though.

love it
