I ended up buying two of the hard drives and could not get either to work. I tried installing it in my computer and it would not appear in my bios (msi e34 motherboard) or in disk management/my computer (Windows 10). I swapped out the sata cable and the power cable with a hard drive I have already working in my computer and still nothing. I then plugged the old hard drive back in and it works fine. I then tried putting it into my brother's computer who has a different motherboard than I do(not sure the brand, but it is different). Again it was the same issues, it would not appear in the bios or in disk management. I tried switching from achi to ide to raid modes and it still would not work under any of those settings. I can not for the life of me figure out what is wrong with them. I've built my own computer from the ground up, I have 2 other hard drives and a dvd drive I put in myself, all working in my computer without any problems. They were all plug and play - but not this drive. This drive refuses to work. They both even appear to spin on start up, but they simply refuse to work. I will buy a new drive elsewhere, and a different brand. Hopefully everyone has better luck, but i wouldnt risk it.Read full review

...was disappointed to discover that this refurbished (which apparently now means "pulled out of an old PC and reformatted") drive was manufactured in 2012, five years before I purchased it. Still, I have Seagate and WD drives in my systems that have been running without issue pretty much 24/7 for nearly a decade, and nobody beats Hitachi for performance and reliability, especially in their flagship, enterprise-class Ultrastar line, so I'm quite pleased with my purchase.

I ordered 4 of these drives. 3 of them have been great. One of them is security locked. So I had to order another drive to use until I can figure out how to unlock the security lock on it. Just formatting it didn't fix it.

Like several other reviewers, I bought these drives to go in a home NAS. As was stated in other reviews, hard drives either die when they're almost new, or they die after a loooooong time. Still, as with any hard drive, if you plan to have important data on these drives, it is a smart practice to use them in a redundant array. I run 6 in a software raid 6, and it is a great bang for the buck storage solution. My drives all had around 19,000 hours on them, which is nothing for an enterprise drive. When I set my NAS to max performance, the drives can get slightly noisy, but nothing crazy. On quiet mode, you can barely hear a thing. If you can get these drives for anywhere from $53 to $50, I'd absolutely recommend it.

I purchased two drives. One of the drives is perfectly fine; the other drive is NOISY. It grinds away ANY and EVERY time it's accessed. Request to return & exchange was denied - as a prior Newegg customer, I can't reconcile continuing to do business with them after this.

Loudest drive I have ever owned. Seems to work well and hopefully will last a very long time. So far so good

I bought 6 of these. Four for a RAID enclosure, one for back up and the last for an external. They work fine!
