Ultrastar DC HC320 (HUS728T8TALE6L4) SATA Enterprise HDD 7200 RPM, 8 TB

No Faults. Appears to Work Perfectly. Stays 2˚C lower than my other drives. (Western Ent. Gold)

Great buy

the drive is fine , looks reliable, it is fast as advertised, and it is NOT noisy.

Other 'Data Centre' or 'Enterprise' drives in this class, which are designed for high usage RAID environments, have a Unrecoverable Error Rate of less than 1 in 10^15, or 1 error in every quadrillion bits (1,000,000,000,000,000). This drive however, only manages 1 in 10^14, which is common among 'desktop' class drives. It doesn't sound like much, but that extra zero makes a HUGE difference when you're handling TBs (Tera BYTES) worth of data, during an array rebuild. As a result, I would definitely not recommend this model. It should be noted though, that from the data sheet I've just been looking at, that the larger drives 12 and 14 TB do actually have a higher URE of < 1 in 10^15 bits.

è un hd meccanico, quindi attendi

I ordered a Western Digital 8TB Ultrastar DC HC320 8TB hard drive which my computer detects as a Hitachi HUS728T8TALE6L4 8TB hard drive. After buying one of these drives, I was so impressed with it that I ordered two more. I've been using these drives as storage drives with a Samsung SSD boot drive for several months now in three different computers and they have worked flawlessly. I've always used Hitachi Ultra Star drives for their reliability and performance. This WD drive is a really Hitachi Ultrastar drive that now has a WD label since WD bought Hitachi's drive business. Besides being ultra reliable with a MTBF of 2 million hours, this 7200 RPM drive is also the fastest SATA drive that I have ever tested that wasn't a SSD. I had been using a Hitachi HUS724040ALE640 4TB hard drive for storage and when running the CrystalDiskMark test for Seq Q32T1 test, I got 155 MB/s Read and 147 MB/s write which I thought was pretty respectable. But the Western Digital 8TB Ultrastar DC HC320 blows those scores away giving scores of 263 MB/s Read and 263 MB/s Write for the Seq Q32T1 test. Just for reference my Samsung 850 EVO scored 547 MB/s Read and 512 MB/s Write on the Seq Q32T1 test. This drive has it all speed, reliability, runs cool, and is reasonably priced. I've seen a lot of negative reviews complaining about this drive not having a warranty from WD which is true. However I do feel more confident that the seller that I bought mine from, Platinum Micro, will honor their-5 year warranty after calling them on the phone. I had paid $212.87 for the last drive that I bought from them and two days later Platinum Micro dropped the price on Amazon to $187.50. After doing a search for Platinum Mirco, Inc., I was able to find that they were located in the Los Angeles area and I got their phone number. When I called the number, I got a menu and one of the options was for warranty returns. I selected sales and talked to the salesman there who was very polite and explained I was a little upset that I hadn't even received the drive I ordered yet and the price was now now $25.31 cheaper that when I ordered it. He said no problem that they would refund $25.31 back to my credit card; so I would rate their customer service as excellent. If you want to get really picky, the only thing you might complain about is that it is a slightly noisier that a WD Black drive but it's only slightly louder and I don't think most people will mind. It is so fast I can now transfer files from my SSD to this drive in about half the time it took before using my old 4TB Ultra Star drive. Just buy this drive you won't regret it.
