  • This Is the Best SATA Hard Drive That I Have Ever Owned
Capacity: 8TB Style: HDD
I ordered a Western Digital 8TB Ultrastar DC HC320 8TB hard drive which my computer detects as a Hitachi HUS728T8TALE6L4 8TB hard drive. After buying one of these drives, I was so impressed with it that I ordered two more. I've been using these drives as storage drives with a Samsung SSD boot drive for several months now in three different computers and they have worked flawlessly. I've always used Hitachi Ultra Star drives for their reliability and performance. This WD drive is a really Hitachi Ultrastar drive that now has a WD label since WD bought Hitachi's drive business. Besides being ultra reliable with a MTBF of 2 million hours, this 7200 RPM drive is also the fastest SATA drive that I have ever tested that wasn't a SSD. I had been using a Hitachi HUS724040ALE640 4TB hard drive for storage and when running the CrystalDiskMark test for Seq Q32T1 test, I got 155 MB/s Read and 147 MB/s write which I thought was pretty respectable. But the Western Digital 8TB Ultrastar DC HC320 blows those scores away giving scores of 263 MB/s Read and 263 MB/s Write for the Seq Q32T1 test. Just for reference my Samsung 850 EVO scored 547 MB/s Read and 512 MB/s Write on the Seq Q32T1 test. This drive has it all speed, reliability, runs cool, and is reasonably priced. I've seen a lot of negative reviews complaining about this drive not having a warranty from WD which is true. However I do feel more confident that the seller that I bought mine from, Platinum Micro, will honor their-5 year warranty after calling them on the phone. I had paid $212.87 for the last drive that I bought from them and two days later Platinum Micro dropped the price on Amazon to $187.50. After doing a search for Platinum Mirco, Inc., I was able to find that they were located in the Los Angeles area and I got their phone number. When I called the number, I got a menu and one of the options was for warranty returns. I selected sales and talked to the salesman there who was very polite and explained I was a little upset that I hadn't even received the drive I ordered yet and the price was now now $25.31 cheaper that when I ordered it. He said no problem that they would refund $25.31 back to my credit card; so I would rate their customer service as excellent. If you want to get really picky, the only thing you might complain about is that it is a slightly noisier that a WD Black drive but it's only slightly louder and I don't think most people will mind. It is so fast I can now transfer files from my SSD to this drive in about half the time it took before using my old 4TB Ultra Star drive. Just buy this drive you won't regret it. ... show more

  • It actually is a Hitachi (HGST)
Capacity: 6TB Style: HDD
I mean that's a good thing. WD isn't the most reliable. That this is really a Hitachi is good. That means it will probably last long enough that one day I'll look at it and remember the days when 8TB was a practical sized drive. I have many HGST drives that are still good but who wants an 80GB HDD

  • OEM Warranty not covered by Western Digital(WD) from Platinum Micro, Inc.
Capacity: 14TB Style: HDD
I bought this drive from Platinum Micro, Inc. and it is a OEM drive. Therefore the warranty from Western Digital is not valid. I called WD and they said to return the drive. OEM drive warranties are covered by the seller and NOT WD! The drive was NOT listed or sold as a OEM drive. Very misleading! With an OEM drive you have to hope that the seller is still around in 5 years and they will handle the warranty like WD does. It work in IT and I will tell you never buy OEM drives because sellers never have the same service that WD has. With WD I give them a credit card number and they send a new drive with return shipping for the bad drive. I have dealt with OEM before and it is nothing but a pain in the fundament for warranty service. I recommend NOT buying from Platinum Micro, Inc. as they are not truthful in saying they are selling OEM drives. I have bought the 8TB version of this drive from ServerPartDeals seller on Amazon and the warranties are good from WD. Unfortunately ServerPartDeals do not sell this WD drive in 14TB so I bought a 14TB Seagate Exos X16 from them instead. I just like WD drives better as they have a much lower failure rate then Seagate drives. I prefer to buy Enterprise or Data Center drives as I use them in my NAS. I was using WD Red Pro drives but they fail much sooner than Enterprise/Data Center drives. Always check to see if your manufacturer warranty is good before opening the drive. Or contact the seller before buying and ask if the drive is OEM. If it is OEM I would give it a miss. Caveat Emptor!(Let the buyer beware). If you want a cheaper priced drive then go ahead and save some money and buy an OEM drive, They are made by the manufacteur but DO NOT COME with any Warranties from the drive maker so the Vender get a cheaper price to sell the drive to you. How ever if you have a drive failure only the vendor does the warranty NOT the maker of the drive, I have worked in IT for over 45 years. Drives do fail. You always want to buy drives that have the warranty covered by the drive maker I did find out that ServerPartsDeals do sell retail drives that come with the drive makers warranties. Any problem with the drive the drive maker will give you a brand new drive that meets or exceeds the specifications of your drive. An OEM seller can not do that. The most they could do is relace or refund the cost of the drive. One always want to by only Retail Drives NOT OEM drives. I find that SeverPartsDeals have always sold Retail hard drives. They are up front on this that they only sell Retails drives with warranty from Manufactuer. Again I always say; "Caveat Emptor!(Let the buyer beware)". ... show more

  • Amazing value!
Capacity: 6TB Style: HDD
When I decided to purchase used drives, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Would they turn out to be good drives? How many hours had they been used for? However, after using the drive for a few months, I must say I was thoroughly impressed with its performance. In fact, I was so impressed that I ended up purchasing a second one! The power on count for the drive I bought is now at 14, and it has been running for a total of 16,114 hours. The second drive I bought is almost identical in terms of performance. Not only did I gain extra storage space, but I also acquired drives that have more life left in them compared to my current ones, which have been running for over 63,000 hours. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of these used drives. They have exceeded my expectations and have proven to be a worthy investment. ... show more

  • It’s noisy
Capacity: 2TB Style: HDD
I’ve used this drive for several months and have it installed in a desktop PC in my study. I have no complaints with it at all, but want to say, as have other reviewers, that it is quite noisy and some folks might find it annoying. I have mostly adapted to the noise and it usually doesn’t bother me, but there are times when I’m just a little on edge and it gets to be somewhat irritating. That said, I still consider it a good buy and would do it again. ... show more
