MaxDigitalData (MD6000GSA12872E) 6TB 7200RPM 128MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5-inch Internal Hard Drive (Enterprise Grade) - 3 Years Warranty (Renewed)

Buen producto, se han instalado en CCTV y funciona bien

I have no brand loyalty when it comes to hard drives, and will simply buy whatever is most cost-effective at the time and not obviously a scam. These drives work just fine and were cheaper at the time than other options.

If you are currently reading reviews to justify going cheap via this method of storage because "Hey it's not intended for any mission critical applications or even daily use", pivot now and find something better. I tried two 6th mdd drives and not only did they not go a month without complications, neither of the drives lasted over 6 months overall. No data security whatsoever, the 3 year worry free return is a lie. Amazon flat out denies it and stipulates that outside of their 30 day return period they aren't responsible. The invoice wording is murky putting them both in the roll of the seller and their is no official company or website to provide actual support. Don''t waste your time, anything name brand is better but specifically ironwolf pro, seagate exos, or quality ssds are cheap enough now and shouldn't leave you with broken scattered data destined for the trash...

I have had these drives installed for more than a month and so far I am pleased with their performance and the purchase. My sole complaint is that they are a bit on the noise side which is very noticeable on startup. A good value and I hope they last awhile.

This HDD has the correct pricing model for me at 10 dollars per TB at these speeds here as it's not SSD speeds which to me is 100 dollars per TB to me right now. This is cheap and good for mass storage if you're into downloading a massive PC retro video games collection and for 8k video files here from your iphone 14 pro max for editing and post production work. Beware the mounting holes for the middle part won't work with certain hhd cages from thermaltake for internal PC needs as these were designed for external HDD bays here.

So at my home we have a terrible internet connection. So I have set up a NAS storage solution that is completely separate from my internet router through a different router so the majority of my items are offline aside from two items in the house and these hard drives hold all my data on a freenas solution i bought 4 of them and run them in a RAIDZ2 format and get great performance for all of my tv shows and movies and back ups i've accumulated over the years. definitely recommend for good cheap storage solution for homenas

Low noise, formats ( full, not “quick” format ) fairly quickly. Runs cool

I received my drives in preparation for a video editing project. I put them in a well ventilated tower-style upright server case. I added them to the Proxmox drive inventory, and built a RaidZ array with them. For a month, things went well. As time went on, and the drives got full and more use, and the project was in full swing, the room started getting warmer and I didn't understand why really. So, I looked closely at the drive array as my CPUs are liquid-cooled and never report ANY temperature above 30 degrees C. So it obviously had to come from the drives. 2 of the 4 are too hot to touch, the other 2 are warm but not BAD. The other array drives (WD 8TBs) are all warm but not HOT. So I checked the Model and Serial of the 6TBs. These are basically rebranded (no issues with THAT, *I CAN* appreciate the white-labels) Seagates. Seagates have HIGHER than average failure rates for 3TB, 4TB, and 6TB drives. Then I notice that the rebranding sticker is COVERING THE ONLY BREATHING HOLE in the top surface of the drive. I've contacted Amazon, and they ARE replacing the units (we'll see how THAT goes) but I recommend you stop and weigh the cost/benefit. As of this writing, an HGST of similar size, speed, and cache, is $99. In a single arrangement, maybe you won't produce enough waste-heat to cause a problem. Maybe you're using a drive cooling solution. But the phone number for the vendor is an anonymous voicemail box. And simply poking a hole in the sticker will *probably* void my warranty. I'm now a week behind on this project and have lost 400GB of video footage. I can't afford to have these sent out to a clean room, have them de-crypted from RaidZ into Ext4 or NTFS. But 2 out of 4 failing is NOT good.8TB of video lost (all but 400GB was backed up to snapshot), because someone plugged up the exhaust and I didn't notice until the drives were COOKED. No matter which test unit I put them in, they return controller errors. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM Someone's lack of forethought cost me a LOT of time and effort and money. And if YOU poke a hole in it, you're probably voiding whatever 3 year warranty they 'stand behind'.CAVEAT EMPTORI ain't happy. Something THIS glaring should have been considered BEFORE selling them. Personally, I thought putting them in a case with 15K RPM fans would have kept them within tolerance. But this was, for want of a better term, a banana in the tailpipe.
