Hitachi HUA723030ALA640 3TB Hitachi UltraStar 7K3000 HUA723030ALA640 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive (Renewed)

Outstanding Hard Drive as described by the seller with a price that will not break your bank account. I install it in a multi-boot system of Linux OS, I created a full partition using KDPartition in exFat32 format and not issues whatsoever. The shipment was so Fast that i opened my Computer and bam it was already in my front door. I fully recomend this seller

I have bought several from this seller over the past couple years (goHardDrives), I have recommended my clients purchase these for their price and reliability. Hitachi was bought out by WD and renamed HSGT so regardless which brand you order form this seller they will be the same drive except the HSGT branded ones will be newer. My first two are 4 years old at this point running in raid 1, and neither have any health issues. Just did a health check on all my drives in all my server. I ran PC doctor extended checks with butterfly read and linear read test. Typically even a failing, or soon to be failing drive that passes SMART testing will still fail one of those test if its starting to go, but nope everything was well within normal. Drives are great and the only seller I buy refurbished drives from.

The price is good for this capacity. However, with that said I would not recommend the drive for the simple reason the transfer rates for some files is less than 24KB/s - if you have large files to transfer the process could take most of, if not more than one day to finish. These are pdf and csv files that seem to really slow the drive tremendously.Updated review: After three days drive started clicking and would not read. Had to reseat connector twice to have drive recognized by my system.

So far no issues, other than these are very loud drives. IMPORTANTLY, checking the uptime of the drive I received, it shows that they have been running for +7 years. I know this is a used drive however given the average lifetime of HDDs are around 5 years, just be careful and have redundancy/backup when using these. I will update in 90 days if any issues is encountered.6-Month Update: They are still running which is good. Still very noisy and running at about 40 deg Celsius.

Muy bueno

I ordered my first drive of this type a while back on recommendation from my uncle who also purchased one. He had no issues so I bought one of them. I had no issues from that drive so I bought 4 together recently. They are of the proper capacity once formatted and function as they should. I have had no issues with them at all. I not only would buy more of them, I have bought 4 more of them after I got the first one and was satisfied with it.

Good product. Works GREAT!

Work great for storage. I think I have a total of 5. One has a ticking sound but works fine. No problems at all. I would recommend these.
