MDD He10 HUH721010ALE601 10TB 7200RPM 128MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5-inch Enterprise Hard Drive - 5 Year Warranty (Renewed)

I was initially unsure about purchasing used drives to fill my NAS with however after some research I found this seller to be reputable in their testing and warranty so I took a chance on these HGST 10TB drives for the price.They are certainly noisy enterprise grade drives so you probably won't want to install them into a desktop PC but if you do, the seller helpfully included a SATA power adapter to use to circumvent the PWDIS enterprise feature that will otherwise stop the drive from spinning on a non-enterprise system.Seller also included a warranty card and lots of information sheets, overall I have a very good feeling about them and all 5 drives I purchased are fully working without any SMART errors. Drives were very well packaged as well and exactly as described.I'll update this review on the warranty process if I have a drive fail within 5 years but I'm feeling confident I'll be taken care of in the event.

I bought 10 of these guys for a TrueNas setup (3 pairity and 7 live). These guys simply worked at a great price. If you need some inexpensave stable drives, this is a great choice!

I use these in my Synology 218 NAS. I ordered 2 in late Jan 2023 and had one fail in April 5, 2023. I started the return process for one of them and ordered a second.After I installed the replacement drive, I immediately noticed a difference in the noise level coming from my NAS. In hindsight, the original (second) drive may have been bad from the beginning, I just did not know.So far I'm happy with the way things are going, but would be devastated if I was not in a NAS situation.I will update if anything else happens...Update 4-14, ran extended smart test on both drives. My replacement drive failed the test. Ordered a 4th drive, and immediately ran the extended test and it passed. So out of 4 drives purchased, two failed the S.M.A.R.T. test, two passed with flying colors.GoHardDrive has been super easy to work (returns through Amazon) with and even with the problems I have had, for the discount I would still recommend this seller and product with the understanding that there may be a little trial and error to begin with.Update, one year later. Still going strong. Monthly SMART checks and Scrubbing routines, no problems detected. I'm very happy with these drives.

This is more a review of the customer service than the product. The product matches its specs.These are used drives, and could have problems. I specifically decided to risk these drives because they were low-cost AND because of the 5 year warranty. A month after installation in my NAS one of the three drives I ordered threw errors and went offline. I followed the instructions on the warranty card and was very impressed by the responsiveness and care I received. The seller paid for RMA return shipment and had new drive in my hand in less than a week. If you have a non mission critical workload, and raid config, these will provide an affordable path to storage.

I got two of these to serve as a mirrored bulk data storage, even with how much these were used it should still serve alright for this.For anyone interested SMART reported mine as ~6.3 years use ~3PB write ~4PB read.After about two weeks of use doing mostly read one of the drives has started to lock up on seeking.Unless this was damaged when shipping which is unlikely as it was well packed I imagine these drives are probably close to dead.The replacement instantly had checksum errors on adding it to my zfs raid. For folks who are dropping this into a system without file system / partition protection your data could be corrupted and you won't know with these drives. This is not excusable by shipping damage like my previous issues with the last drive, I doubt these have been tested at all other than maybe checking the SMART stats.I'm returning these, going with two new Seagate BarraCuda 8TB instead, its an SMR drive but for my use that's fine.

I just received my 2nd 10Tb drive (Dec 2023). 1st 10Tb drive I ordered was back in Jan2023. Both drives are working well & both are about 5yrs old (see pictures). The Seller is responsive to questions/inquiries and have confirmed the 5yr Warranty on these drives.The Drive comes "unallocated" so it will not show up on File Explorer (windows) - make sure to run Disk Partition app 1st, format & create a partition and the drive can be used normally.The 1st drive I ordered was lucky to survive the UPS delivery, the box was not pretty to look at. The 2nd drive was delivered by Amazon and the box/packaging is in good condition when received.I've been using the 1st drive as an offline backup for 11mos and I will be using the 2nd drive for Media Streaming attached to DIY RasPi4 NAS. I'm hoping both drives will function with no errors for many more years. My oldest regular Seagate drive is over 15yrs old, no errors yet (knock on wood) so I'm hoping these 5yr old HE10 Enterprise drive will last just as long if not longer if used with care.So far I haven't received a bad drive from this seller so I will definitely order again if I need more backup & media space.

Currently using this in a NAS system with DD-wrt. Tons of space and plenty fast for keeping up with data transfers. It is very important to use the power cable included with this drive or if you know how to cut the orange wire or the 3.3v wire or the one that is closest to the DATA cable connector when plugged in. Some manufactures did this to prevent people from buying cheap external drives and using them inside a PC instead. This was one way to lock them out. Which someone figured out its the 3.3v power wire if connected will prevent the drive from being detected. Been using this drive for 6 months now and no issues. Planning on replacing the 2TB drives and the 4TB in the NAS system for this 10TB for even more space.
