Think twice before buying - product is disgusting.

specially took the version of the enterprise, so that the promised 5 years worked. But apparently one thing . as home versions. worked in ftp mode for night copies, in fact 5 hours a day. and now he began to knock his head and disappear from the system, apparently the electronics were covered. Sadness.

Satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.

Maybe someone takes it for RAID, in my case it is definitely SLED. Thickness 26.1mm, keep this in mind when installing in cramped baskets as the disk overheats very quickly. I moved it to a more spacious basket, even with good airflow, without much load, it heats up to 40+ degrees. I don't know if it's worth buying a similar 10TB model, given that this drive is 8TB without helium, it can be used for a torrent downloader, but I'm confused by its terrible vibrations.

Pros
  • - Theoretical volume 8 TB; - Buffer memory 256 MB and a spindle speed of 7200 rpm provide relatively good read-write speeds; - Theoretical time between failures 2.5 million hours, but time will tell;
Cons
  • - The price is monstrous; - Very hot, like server Caviars or even hotter; - Unlike the 6TB model, it did not start from the power supply of the external box 12V2A; - Loud, louder than many coolers when power is applied, under the torrents in the room from this one disk there is a crackling level of hard drives of the 90s;

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

I have been working with this manufacturer for a long time. 1 TB disks intended for servers have been working (at home) in 24/7 mode for almost 10 years, MG06ACA800E took a couple of pieces in the fall, I don’t regret it, now I took it for the Raid array. (But in order not to offend other manufacturers, a 4TB disk under the brand name "Lenovo" (in fact, it seems like a hitachi, because lenovo itself does not produce disks) for the server, it has been working no worse for the third year…

Pros
  • Reliability
Cons
  • Haven't found it yet.
