HGST Ultrastar 7K6000 HUS726060ALE610 (0F23001) 6TB 7200 RPM 128MB Cache SATA 6.0Gbps 3.5in Enterprise Hard Drive - 5 Year Warranty (Renewed),Mechanical Hard Disk

My HGST Ultrastar 7K6000 HUS726060ALE610 was 37 C when I did long writes from college. It idles around 32 C and has more than enough storage for important backups. Upon post you may hear audible noises during start up which is normal. I suggest to make sure you mount the drive carefully with rubber grommets in place to absorb the vibrations because the platter runs quick when writing data. SMART data has shown no bad sectors. This is not the must ideal gaming drive, but it can be a game archive drive to offload data from an SSD.

Have 4 of these in a dell poweredge r320 running unraid and they perform great! I don't think I've seen any of them get over 40c while transferring large amounts of data. Been going strong for the last few months!

Been using it heavily for a month, it still works great, the loud sounds it makes (compared to my other hard drive) was concerning at first but I think it might just be characteristic of this drive. One thing, this drive will work itself to death if you use it as virtual memory for a huge process, it's strange, it seems like Microsoft doesn't know about this drive or something, it also saw it as having less space than it actually had to utilize as virtual memory. I'd recommend setting this drive to no page file

Compared to my 6TB WL drives, this one runs hotter, at least when cloning from another drive. I used Macrium Reflect to clone and maybe the long process (~7 hours) caused it to overheat. Now that is running on NAS, the temperature dropped quite a bit and is closer to what my other drives are. High operating temperatures generally reduce the lifetime of electromechanical equipment and this one may be no exception. So, I don't really know how much it will last if it consistently runs at higher temperatures. I will try and deal with the overheating issue by providing adequate ventilation and maybe using a cooling fan since the drive is exposed. On the bright side, I bought it for half the price of a typical 6TB NAS drive, and I have it paired in a RAID 0 configuration, so only time will tell if it was a great purchase. I must say though, in terms of speed, this one blows away anything else I used before except SSDs

A bit old (7 years), but still big and fast, and worth the price...Or is it?It gets hot, 44-45C with continious use (the other 3 hd in the same conditioms are 3-5C cooler ).And exactly a year after intallation, with very light use, the servo died.No warnings, just the death click and that was that. 6TB of stuff lost

This is an HDD. Remanufactured with the write cycles set at zero. They work just as expected for any drive of these specifications. Nothing special. I don't really have anything to say about reliability since I've only run a set of 4 of these for about 2 years. No failures. Super cheap. I couldn't say no. Plus, I'm running them in a NAS, so what do I care about 1 drive failing? Would I build a computer with this as the OS drive? Hell no.

I bought 2 of these and they both failed within 6 months. So I contacted the seller to honor the warranty and the seller sends me a prepaid label. I packed them well and mailed them. They seller refunded me so I'm happy they took care of me.

I purchased this drive a few years ago and it has worked flawlessly. so, I decided to buy a 2nd drive like this. they are very inexpensive and the warranty is a 5 year warranty which you dont normally see. I expect this 2nd drive will work as well as the 1st one. it is also very quiet.
