HITACHI Deskstar E7K1000 1TB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Cons:
Price.
Pros: Rock solid, highly reliable drives, even under harsh conditions. They are decently quiet, too. Performance is good, too. |
For my job, I work with 100s of these drives... many of the drives have been around since late 2007... and they are still kicking strong with tons of run time and rebooting (spinning down, and back up hundreds of times a day) while having large amounts of IO in RAID configurations. A certain number have even been drop tested from as high as 4ft, placed in high heat conditions, or in intense vibration conditions (we call it the shake-n-bake machine). Overall, lets just say, these drives are not the common point of failure in our product. I plan to get some of these for my personal file server at home... they're amazing.
