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. Read more
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 Read more
This hard drive is working perfectly. I am glad I chose this particular one (6TB 7200 RPM 128MB Cache Sata Read more
All drives fail so have a backup. These are old drives like 2015/2016 but they work well are fast. Read more
Do not get these. I thought "renewed" was actually a standard, but there is no standard. This is basically a drive from an enterprise environment that aged out of their reliability window, so they had to replace it. I purchased 2 of these, and one of them failed after 35 days in a low workload NAS. Toshiba has a cheaper, better 4TB drive for much cheaper and a 3 year warranty. I am replacing both of my used (not "renewed") drives with the Toshiba. Read more
Great price! It works perfectly. I've dumped hundreds of gigabytes of data into it at once with no problem. So sickening that so many consumer hard drives are now SRM so I wouldn't be able to do that without them slowing down to a crawl. Read more
The drive is great for its intended use. Just keep in mind that it is loud. I’m using them in a NAS and I’ve had to move the NAS to another physical location because of the noise. Read more
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. Read more
