MaxDigitalData 6TB 7200RPM 128MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5inch Internal Hard Drive for NAS Network Storage (MD6000GSA12872NAS) - 3 Years Warranty (Renewed)

OK guys. Just opened the packaging and have to say theses drives are packed very well, antistatic and bubble rap. Above and beyond anything I've ever seen, that includes OEMs. The accompanying documentation is, compared to others, excelent. It gives very detailed instructions for Windows and Apple systems with links to other resources to help even more. Haven't installed the drives yet but I am sure they will work well. I'll update if things go sideways.

Drive works and packed well. But, this was advertised as a 7200rpm drive. The label on the outside of the drive says 7200rpm. Except that the drive info reports it is 5400rpm (CrystalDiskInfo and HardDiskSentinal). Drive speed was part of why I selected this drive. Disappointing to get a lesser drive. Also seems much noisier.I had gotten another MDD drive in a larger capacity a few weeks ago and that one was 7200rpm as advertised and has been running great so far. Was expecting the same.

The 1st one I got was DOA! The 2nd works great! Fast shipping on 2nd!

6 TB internal hard drive. Good value and price!Shipment was on time.

It seems I am always upgrading the drives in my NAS devices and after paying through the nose for WD Red and Iron Wolf drives for many years, I finally decided to go with a cheaper model and while these are cheaper in price, the tests I ran on them all gave the same (or in some cases, better) results than their much more expensive counterparts. These drives saved me hundreds of dollars per NAS (6-8 drive NAS devices) and once I repaired the arrays, they continued to work at an outstanding level.

The adapter I was using to test this drive would not go beyond 2TB. My testing was in error. I am leaving the ordinal title to hopefully spare someone else the issue. I gave the drive 5 stars because it performed well with the partition I was able to configure on it. Please ignore the review below here. My apologies to the vendor of these drives as they are a great value for the money. Drive capacity was 1.6TB not 6TB as stated in description. Tried to partition on Windows, Ubuntu and Mac all showed just 1.6TB not 6. Returned for refund can't really trust the brand now.

item does not work properly. knocks and looses format

I received mine and the first impression was not good, because I ordered a NAS drive and I received an Enterprise drive. Anyway I will use it for a desktop computer, so it doesn't make any difference for me. I installed it and ran CristalDiskInfo. The program said it is a new drive, with cero power on hours and cero power on count, so I imagine the drive is new. Then I checked it with CristalDiskMark and the write and read speeds are more than 200 MB/s, which is very good for a SATA hard drive. Satisfied so far.
