Review on πŸ’Ύ 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 Jason Vigil

Revainrating 3 out of 5

No problem. Faithful so far so will buy until quality drops

Bought two for 2nd Synology Diskstation. zero problems. Extensive SMART testing performed on both prior to first use using factory drive utility. Hard drives of this size take several days. So if you plan to do this, don't plan on using them right away. Both passed and already had the latest firmware. So far zero errors. Worked fine with 6 4TB Deskstar NAS drives. Two of them have been running for about two years, while the other four are joining the new 6TB drives. They are installed on my home NAS, which is used more than most people but is a far cry from a 24/7/365 enterprise setup. Absolutely no problem. Bought for reasonable price for size and features. I'll continue to stick with the DeskStar NAS line until I see the quality suffer (although vendor and manufacturer dates have changed to avoid risking a bad batch sacrificing enough drives to eliminate my redundancy.

Pros
  • Useful for more than intended purpose
Cons
  • There are flaws
