Doing LLM training and needed to use a 35TB training file and 3TB validation file. Used 3 of these drives to create a RAID 0 drive with approx 54TB capacity. (this is on Ubuntu and formatted with XFS file system since usual EXT4 tops out at about 16TB file size.) Works great and much faster than a single drive would be due to the striping of RAID 0.



Name Brand, only 1 drive has failed in the last 4 years out of 150-200 drives installed. Def recommend.

It works like it should. Its 7200 rpm for the right price.

Overall it performs very well in my RAID configuration. The 64mb cache really helps it compared to my older 32mb cache drives. I mean....it's a hard drive and it works.


Very good pricing on this drive. I needed it to upgrade a Tivo and this is the perfect drive to do it.

Registered for full 5 year warranty.

Quick shipping. Easy for my son to install. Upgraded security cam DVR. Works beautifully.


Been using these 24/7 for well over a year no problems to report, I have 2 in RAID 1. They are not loud "clackers", they sit there silently doing their work,

Speed and price. This drive performs well and the price is as low as it can really be. My tests give the following: Maximum write: 207 MB/s Average write: 119 MB/s Access timing: 19 ms Sequential read speeds hit ranges of 175-225 MB/s. Random speeds can be pretty slow, but we know how that works. This is still a spinning drive. Write speeds were pretty similar, a bit lower as you'd expect.

on-time delivery. Checked to make sure I knew it was SAS not SATA. No complaints had it for about a couple months now.

- Capacity - Speed - Buffer size - Reliability

Shipping was on time. Package seemed to be in good condition. Even arrived on a rainy day, which was great to backup while the weather was wet. Ran a Self Test on the Drive everything seemed to pass. I didn't monitor the speeds, but it took almost half the day to back up 4tbs of Data. Synced it and took a nap. 8tbs for 110$ is a solid grab. Limited to 2 per person- saved me money because I would of bought more.

I get sustained sequential write speeds over 160 Mbps every time, and reads are easily as fast. It just keeps going after weeks of recording and I have no corrupted files or lost frames.

Installed new hard drive and had system up and running in 5 minutes

Works as described

Great for Desktop PC's as the initial drive or as the backup. Great Drive in all respects for Black Version.
