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

Love my hard drive

Gives every indication of being more robust than typical consumer device - time will tell. If I had a use for another drive, I would buy this right now.

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.

Works great! I use it with an external dock and works great for back up all my stuff.. Loves it!

prior to purchasing this, i was informed about studies done on internal harddrives used by many companies and through that, hitachi seems to be the gold standard for longevity or how long the drives lifespan is. many reviews though who have purchased from this line seem to have received old, used drives or completely be dead on arrival. i am very pleased with the drive and the seller. im also glad that despite a few 1 star ratings here and there, it did not dissuade me from making a purchase. the package came in excessive bubble wrap, that made the main package bulky. inside was another box with another layer of bubble wrap around the drive itself, and then the non-static packaging. i dont see how any of the drives delivered or shipped this way could be used or old, my drive seemed brand new. on the drive itself - i dont see why reviewers state its loud and excessive. its dead silent....does not make any noise or sound, and seems to run very cool. - the drive itself i believe winds itself down when not in use so in essence it isnt being read by the computer 24/7 which i believe contributes to its lifespan. but when you do attempt to access it, it does take a few seconds to load back up, which is logical. - the drive copies very quickly, i cant see for a need to have greater speeds than this. this is probably the most affordable / quality drive in the market. - the drive uses about 19 gigs out of its 2tb availability.

Drive is working well. It is fast and quiet. Cant comment yet on longevity as I have only had it for about 2 months...

Rock & Roll! I run three 2TB drives (two identical older models as well). This one is on USB with Mediasonic ProBox, and fast enough for my purposes.

Very high quality drive. Will last years.

runs great really not that loud very snappy drive to store all my stuff on

Bought this in 2014, and its still running like a charm. High performance with no issues. Highly recommended.
