💽 MaxDigitalData MD4000GSA6459DVR 4TB 64MB Cache 5900PM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Surveillance CCTV DVR Hard Drive with 2-Year Warranty Review

Hello, I bought two of these 4TB units and put them in the dash cam at home and after two days of work it gave me a write error, so this hard drive seems to have come with a defect, it was difficult for me to order recognizing the disk first, there was an error, when formatting, I recognized the disk several times, but it only took two days, there is some kind of replacement.

They are labeled 5900 RPM (different label than pictured) but they hot like 7200 RPM Rims, they're loud like 7200rpm drives and they report to SMART like 7200rpm drives. These are discs with 7200 rpm. In fact, they SMART report how (and physically look) HGST Ultrastar 7K4000 HUS724040ALA640 7200 RPM drives. I don't have cooling for 7200rpm drives.

Loudest drive I've ever owned. All checks passed. But that doesn't mean much when it's loud. Drives shouldn't be noisy. The rule of thumb is to replace noisy drives, as that usually means problems are on the way. I don't see this drive being durable. I will update. I just don't see myself buying another one of these.

I bought 2 of these drives to back up my digital photos to an external 2 drive bay. So far they are working as expected. The noise is a little higher than my other drives, but not by much. I installed them vertically in the outer compartment. Since my drives are only powered on during backups, I expect them to last a long time. Considering the price I am satisfied with the purchase.
