Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Inexpensive for a 15k drive
Reliable, especially for a 15k drive
Cons: The overall small capacity of the drive, while not in itself an issue given the price, means that you will fill up a RAID controller fairly quickly.
Other Thoughts: We purchased 4 of these for use in our production server. I set them up in RAID 10 over RAID 5 and we've been getting amazing throughput. Relative to the two 750GB 7200 RPM drives that were in RAID 1, there's no comparison.

15k drives can be a bit temperamental to any loose screws in the mounting - make sure to tighten down all your components so that you avoid vibration as much as you can.

Hitachi's are the best drives made

white Reviewed By: rhesus the leper on 3/27/2009

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: Hitachi drives are the best on the market in SATA and SAS and SCSI, especially the enterprise models, but I have never had a consumer Hitachi fail either, and I have had hundreds of Seagates fail, and to a lesser amound, WD's.
Cons: none, don't own it yet, but all my failure are now Seagate and lower end WD.
Other Thoughts: this was prompted by daveinca giving a low rating b/c his controller would not see the drive, pretty dumb dave. Try another controller b4 commenting next time. Hitachi's are the best drives made. IBM drives for years were from Hitachi. The only one I had fail in 15 years was an older 4.5 gig SCSI which I dropped on asphalt, spilled coke on,and my puppy chewed on it in the mud..and it still ran for a year after that, tested it to see after failing to another drive for backup.
