Review on HGST 10TB hard drive HUH721010ALE604 by Jnis Kalni ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good one.

I took 2 pieces to the NAS server (Synology 918+), assembled RAID 1. There were no problems with the disable-pin. All this economy has been working for almost a month, 24/7 I download / distribute torrents (at the moment there are already ~ 1500 downloads), + audio server, + video server - everything is actively used by several users. The temperature under load did not rise above 37 C. However, falling asleep, being in the same room with working screws, would be quite problematic. I definitely recommend purchasing if performance and durability are a priority, but if silence is more important, look for another option. Added: As of today (10/14/2022), the drives have accumulated 12,487 hours in 24/7 mode. Flight is normal. I am satisfied with the purchase.

Pros
  • The rotation of the pancakes is perfectly balanced, it does not vibrate during operation. Linear data read/write speeds (according to the passport: 249MB/s and 237MB/s, respectively). Buffer: 256 MB Time to failure - 2.5 million hours Weak heating (thanks to helium) The design of the third generation of helium HDDs from HGST. An impressive amount of disk, what you need for file archives. Estimated volume of loads: up to 550 TB / year Cheaper than competitors with similar parameters.
Cons
  • It chirps quite loudly under load. Still expensive. 7 pancakes / 14 heads - the complexity of the design certainly does not increase reliability.
