Review on Reliable White Label 1TB Desktop Hard Drive - High Performance 7200RPM with 64MB Cache - Compatible with PC, Mac, CCTV DVR, Server, NAS - 1 Year Warranty Included by Stephen Johnson

Immediately after receiving this 1TB HD White Label, I put it through a 10+ hour surface test with the HD Sentinel. It was perfect - not a single problematic spot was found. It's hard to find reliable HDs these days. Too many show more than 15-25% (the sum of the two lowest ratings) of very dissatisfied customers, which would have been rare 6-12 years ago. As many computer components become cheaper, manufacturers' margins shrink and they lower costs. One way to cut costs is to eliminate quality control. This is true regardless of the brand, so people who say I've had issues with manufacturer X and will never buy that brand again are making silly claims. However, if customer service is poor, it makes sense to boycott a particular brand. We'll have to see if this HD holds up in the long run. I'll try to remember to post an update in the years to come.
