5 out of 5 eggsNo DOAs!

Pros: Inexpensive, cheap, fast, retail packaging

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: All five passed stress test with flying colors. I believe the retail packaging led to a better in-transit experience for the drives.

5 out of 5 eggsSo far so good...

Pros: I'm a freelance photographer and desktop support rep at a major fortune 500 company...I did a ton of research as well as speaking with my server team about which drives to buy. While researching, I discovered that all brands / drives have a certain amount of failure rate or have the possibility of being DOA. It's just the way it goes, no matter what brand you're looking at. Luckily for me, this wasn't the case with these drives. I ordered two of them, the drives were in original boxes (Which was nice to see) and not loose with just a static bag. NewEgg packaged it well on top of that and it arrived as promised in three days. I slid the drives in my Drobo and configured with no issues. I've seen reviews that they are noisy...but I don't find them to be noisy at all. Quite the opposite, they're quiet, fast, and seem to run cool so far. I'm hoping for longevity...that will be the true test, but so far they're great and I'm quite pleased with them.

Cons: None so far...if I had to be nitpicky, the $20 mail-rebate (Per drive) was nice in terms of cost savings, but mail-in's are always a bit of a pain...instant rebate would have been easier, but really not that big of a deal.

Other Thoughts: I highly recommend these drives so far. NewEgg executed the transaction perfectly and the drives are an incredible value. After rebates...I will have paid $240 for 4 Terabytes of storage. How can you beat that? Pretty amazing...assuming they last. Time will tell...so far, so good.

5 out of 5 eggsgreat product

Pros: inexpensive; fast for the price; not too noisy

Cons: none.

Other Thoughts: put two of these in a Drobo storage array connected to an i5 iMac via Firewire 800. getting fantastic performance - better than any other external drive i've used. had to format the drives for OSX (HFS+) but that was virtually automatic and took seconds.

1 out of 5 eggsDOA

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Dead on arrival

Other Thoughts: There was no damage of package. Poor quality. I had to spend $10 to ship it back. Not a good policy for this kind of return. It should be free.

2 out of 5 eggsdecent drive but very difficult to format

Pros: Good value for large capacity drive

Cons: Speed test well short of 3Gb/s. Nightmore to install and format with no assistance from HitachiGHT, who makes it even more difficult to find any info on it by identifying the drive model as "Deskstar 7K2000" rather than "Deskstar 32000IDK/7K." Tried to format through Windows XP MCE SP3 three times but it would stop formatting after about 6 hours when about 90% complete but would give no meaningful error message. Apparently this is a known, common problem that HitachiHTC completely ignores and provides no assistance with. After considerable intenrnet research, I learned that I needed to update my SATA drivers (but not through Windows!). The latest drivers from Foxconn for my MB did not solve the problem but latest chipset drivers from nVidia did solve the problem. Once that was fixed, upon the recommendation of someone with the same HD and same problem, I tried the freeware utility Easeus Partition Master and it formatted the HD in mere seconds and now it seems to be working great.

Other Thoughts: If I had known that HitachiHTC provided no meaningful installation/formatting instructions or any support on their website even acknowledging this known issue, I would have gone with another brand. I could have done just as well with an OEM drive rather than this poor excuse for a retail box product.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat 2TB drive

Pros: -Huge amount of storage
-Faster than other 2TB drive
-Comes with SATA cable, mounting screws, instructions, nice to get retail version

Cons: -A bit hot, but not TOO hot...

Other Thoughts: Best bang for the buck in terms of 2TB drives - this is not the so-called 'green' drive, so performance is not lacking. I like it that way.

3 out of 5 eggsRuns Hot

Pros: Large capacity, 7200 RPM vs 2TB WD green drive

Cons: Runs quite a bit warmer than my other drives. I've seen this drive get up to 60C before I decided to do something about the flow in my case. Now it tops out at about 45C, still much warmer than my other drive. My other 5 drives in the WHS are sitting at about 37C.

4 out of 5 eggsSo far so good

Pros: Great value.

These seam to work very well, no problems so far. I bought 5 retail boxed versions so they where handled with care. Great value and I'm just praying they will stay that way for a long time to come.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: Holding out the 5th egg till I have them a bit longer, fingers crossed they hold up for a long time.
