Hitachi GST Ultrastar A7K2000 HUA722010CLA331 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

Pros: You have to format the drive in order to have it working .
Most drives come formatted already . Works like a charm .
I swear by Hitachi .

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I use to work in a disc drive company (Shugart) . The drives came back from the customer , the technician put new parts in them . I swear by the refurbished drives .

Pros: none

Cons: Arrived DOA.

Pros: Reasonably quiet, built like a tank, reliable, very quick. older non-advanced format (this can be good), solid feel, lasts a long time, even at high temps. Decent cache size. Hits about 120-130MBs sequentially on mine

Cons: You can hear them grind when accessing, they run hot if you don't cool them properly. Non Advanced-format if it's what you are looking for, cache size could be a bit bigger but it doesn't matter to much. The drives are quick enough, heavy

Other Thoughts: I have a total of 10 of these. I swear by them. My hackintosh has 4 of these in RAID-5 with an LSI RAID card, my server uses 4 of these in RAID-5 with an LSI RAID card as well. My G5 has two of them in it. These drives have proven reliability to the extreme. None of have failed or shown signs since they first came out (2008 I think). They are wicked fast even compared to modern drives. The cache size could be double, but they are fast enough as it is. They run hot in desktops, I have to keep a high airflow fan on them. Even on a desktop it hits 48c in the Hackintosh. Do yourself a favor, I am a WD fan but I swear by these drives. They are heavy as they should be for Enterprise grade, and they are solid drives. Dirt cheap. I paid originally $400/pc back a long time ago for 4 of these. So about $1600 to build my server. I was not disappointed. They are worth their weight in gold. No I was not paid to write this, I actually endorse these as a video editor, computer repair person and a high end techie. You will love these drives. Not sure about the newer ones. Only worked with the 1TB

Pros: WORKS, GLAD I GOT THE WARRENTY(see cons) quiet WORK WELL WITH THE GIGABYTE GA-78LM2-S2P

Cons: WORKS SO FAR. REFURBISHED HAS A DATE OF DEC 2011

Pros: less then 50$
works fine "so far"

Cons: none yet

Other Thoughts: I only use it for back up via a usb 3 toaster
speed is not as good as 6 gig but was expected.

I only gets plugged in to recieve and get info, so will last longer

Pros: 1TB size, easy install, 49.99 price, it's supposed to be enterprise.

Cons: I knew it would be a "naked drive" so that's hardly a con, but you will need a sata cable, and you'll need to format this drive.

Other Thoughts: I got mine for 49.99, and I've only had it a few days. If it screws up I'll rewrite this, but I am doing a review now to say that it was not DOA, and after formatting it works great. The speeds are actually much higher than I was expecting. If it keeps working I got to give it 5 eggs, since it was 49.99! At 100 dollars it's probably a 4 star.
