Ran 4 of these in a storage array for a few years. They replaced a similar array built on smaller SATA drives. Needless to say, they're muuuuch faster than the SATA drives.

Does not throttle under heavy load or copying large file.

I ordered 2. I'm amazed at how much capacity these things have nowadays. They dives run cool and seem to have good temperature control and do NOT seem to be too noisy. In my setup, I was seeing 34°C, 93°F on average fan cooled, but your mileage may vary. This was while copying 11TB from the drive it's replacing; tooks about 2.5 days, but my setup is budget and not a speed demon, but this is typical speed for my setup with other drives.

I've been testing it for a few days and it works great. Especially the power disable feature documentation you sent me was very helpful.

Arrived 2 days early, came in a retail box with mounting screws. It is now chugging along happily in a Linux media server 24/7.

I bought to of these for the NAS to replace some aging drives as a precaution. These worked seamlessly with out any issues. Very happy with the quality.


Good price 12gb interface Works well so far in my Adaptec raid 5

Got this computer up and running with this hard drive - got it for another computer and than the hard drive crashed on this one ( IT WAS A mediamax ) just quit !!

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

Enough space to be able to short stroke it Max write speed 190Mb/s (edge of the disk)

The 6 TB version seemed like the best balance between price, size, performance and noise / heat. This is going in a 4 bay NVR which is in a very quiet environment. So far, these drives seem much quieter than the 7200rpm version (during seek) which are being swapped out 1 at a time to allow the RAID rebuilds to catch up. Temps are 10C lower than the 7200 pro version. (37C vs. 47-49C per SMART data.)

Detected on the 1st boot Needed Computer Management to set it up 2Tb storage capacity

This HDD has plenty of capacity for my security cameras. I switched from a 4TB to a 14TB and now I have months of video storage!

Speed! Low noise

18TB capacity (16.3TB after format) SATA III (6/GBs) CMR array 1.2 million hour run rate 7200 RPM speed 256 MB cache


-This is seagate! -Cheap, powerfull and stable!
