Review on 💾 HGST DeskStar NAS 6TB 7200 RPM 128MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s High Performance Hard Drive for Desktop NAS Systems with Retail Packaging (Model: 0S04007) by James Wickware

Easy to install, nice and big. It makes some noise when accessing data. So if you're looking for a quiet drive, this isn't it. However, if it's reliable over the years, I'm satisfied. I buy HGST drives thanks to BackBlaze drive testing. It's a cloud backup service that uses thousands of drives. They track all the reliability stats of their drives and publish reports regularly. HGST drives are consistently more reliable than WD or Seagate drives. None of my HGST drives (there are four in my system) have failed and the oldest has lasted over 28,000 hours. My WD and Seagate drives fail after about 3-6 years (mostly always). Another nice feature of this drive is that it comes in retail packaging ready for shipping. Ordering OEM drives is bullshit as far as shipping goes.
