This review is from: TOSHIBA PH3500U-1I72 5TB 7200 RPM 128MB Cache Serial ATA 3.0 (SATA) Desktop Internal Hard Drive Retail
Pros:
Worked as it should seems to be almost as quick as the Seagate it replaced. Theoretically, this is based on Hitachi technology and manufacturing, so it should last a good long time, unlike my Seagates.
Cons:
None so far. A whole 3 days.
Overall Review:
I had a WHS v1 populated with Seagate ST31500341AS (and one ST31500340AS, which died under warrentee then the replacement died) bacause they were the first to have affordable large hard drives. All died within a few years, most making it past their warrantee period, but not by much. Later on, I mixed in other brands and different model Seagates. All of these are in use today.
About 3 years ago, I got tired of the finickyness of WHS v1, and switched over to WHS 2011, and made the mistake of replacing drives with (eventually) 4 ST3000DM001, and a 4 tb 5900 rpm Seagate. So far, 3 of the 4 have failed, 2 in the last 2 weeks. 2 of the 3 failed under warrantee. The 4tb has been fine. Yes, this is much more a rant about Seagate, and hardly a review of Hitachi.
Fool me once, shame on you,
Fool me twice, shame on me,
Won't be fooled again.
