HGST/Hitachi (HUA723020ALA641) Ultrastar 7K3000 2TB 64MB 7200RPM 3.5 (Enterprise Grade) SATA III 6.0Gb/s Hard Drive

It works, but sometimes it stops. After resetting the SATA port it works again, so a very weird issue. I think I got it refunded, but a lot of hassle replacing it.

So obviously not a New drive. Bunch of amateur crooks. Avoid.

This works great, doesnt make noise and holds lots of data!

Runs as advertised. Plugged it in as a replacemment on my Raid 10 IDE cluster. No issues at all. Hitachi drives seem to be outlasting my Western Digital Drives. They just work.

Good product and service

plug and play in windows 7 just had to go in to computer management ,disk management and set up. works great.

It seems to be working fine in an older LaCie case. A nice upgrade from a 1 Tb drive that died. The dead drive was a Hitachi HDT721010SLA360 (made in 2009) which had a slightly different rating (5V 420mA 12V 700mA).

At-a-Boy

I do not have one of these specific drives. However, I have 4 Hitachi Ultrastar SATA II HDDs of 750-to-1,000 Gb capacity, which have withstood 5 years of near 24/7 use in ordinary non-RAID applications. As far as I can tell, the drives have all been golden. I am shopping now for a couple more of them for this reason. While my data and programs are not critical, they represent many hours of work that would have to be redone if the existing drives failed, hence I use them for backup functions, mostly. However, I would not hesitate to use them for any role. They are and sufficiently fast for me; near-perfect all-around drives. The SATA II interface is actually faster than the stock SATA I on my old-but-good ASUS mobos (P6T, P5WD2-E Premium), which are good enough that I have no plans to replace them soon. With or without a SATA II/III upgrade card, these HDDs will operate fast enough since I am neither a gamer nor excessively impatient. I rarely feel as though Im waiting for my PCs to do something. Booting up, and loading PhotoShop are about it. Everything else happens pretty darn fast. Thats technical for very quickly. I hope my experience helps someone. Im sold on Hitachi Enterprise drives.

Purchased / Installed November 2014. Its March 2016 and the drive is dead !!!
