Hey LTT, been a minute! Haven't been on here in a while, been out and about with life. <----(super boring, dont try) So heres whats going on! Currently in my computer I have a 1TB Samsung 850 Pro that, looking back on it, I spent way too much money on. It has about 50GB free and thats after I went through and deleted the games I am no longer playing. I am as of right now, saving up as much money as I can to buy a new Jeep at the end of the year. So I don't want to spend a fortune on my computer currently. It was suggested to me at work (Micro Center) that I put a 960 Evo M.2 in as my boot drive and then use my 850 Pro solely for game storage. I like this idea because of the speed, however for the price of the 500GB 960 Evo, I could be purchasing a 4TB WD Black or similar drive. The speed on the M.2 is fast yeah but currently with rapid mode enabled on my 850 Pro I am getting as follows: Sequential Read/Write (MB/s) 4,471/4,319 Random Read/Write (IOPS) 163,394/115,322 I love the speed. It's what I built this machine around. SO all of this being said, can anyone suggest any ideas? I will have an open m.2 slot, 2 HDD bays, and 1 more SSD slot after I move to the new case tomorrow night (Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX) Any advice is much appreciated!!

Hi! I have this old Seagate 1TB barracuda HDD that I bought used back in late 2015 and now it's starting to show signs that it is dying when I checked the SMART data off it. I am now starting to look for a replacement HDD for it. What brand would you guys recommend. I am looking to spend around $100 on a new HDD. Though I am fine with spending less than that. I am starting to not trust Seagate since this is the 3rd Seagate Barracuda HDD that has started to die on me. My family had 3 computers with Seagate Barracudda HDDs over the years and they all failed in 1 or 2 years of use. The first one was a 250GB Seagate and that died in a year of use. The second one was a 1TB Barracuda and that was in my Dad's Dell PC. It died in a year and a half of use. This current drive in my desktop is a 1TB Barracuda and the SMART data shows 4.4 years of total power on hours. Now it's showing signs that it's dying. I'm fine with any brand but I would want something to last at least 5 years before breaking down. I am fine with either 1TB or 2TB in size. Also, what do you guys think of SSHDs as opposed to HDDs?

I tried asking this question on the Tom's Hardware forums, which 2 years ago were way better for getting answers. The answers I got there this time (all 3 of them) weren't even answers; not a single one actually answered the question, it's like people just copy pasted things there in hopes of getting selected as best answer. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what they did. Anyways, hello there! I'm Feliks and I need a storage drive for my laptop, and for the boot drive I already have an SSD. What I use this computer for is/will be a mix of gaming, school work, coding, possibly VMs, etc; whatever my heart's desire. I use a lot of storage and I don't like to use more than 1/2 of the space available on a drive at any time anyways. If there were bigger drives available for laptops, I'd probably go for it. The FireCuda's the biggest available for the laptop. It's important to me that the drive is reliable, but speed is also important (though as long as it somewhat compares with my desktop 7200RPM drive it should be fine). I am between the 2.5" HGST Travelstar 1TB "normal" mechanical hard drive and the 2.5" Seagate Firecuda 2TB "hybrid" hard drive. I honestly am inclined towards each one; I really want the FireCuda because of the extra storage and somewhat because of the speed though I've heard mixed things about it especially since the mechanical part of the hard drive is only 5400 RPM (some say this doesn't matter because of the way it's designed). The TravelStar has great reviews across the board and I trust HGST much more. Also it's 7200RPM, but on the flip side it's just a plain old normal hard drive. I am worried the data will be at risk both because of SeaGate in general being considered a "less reliable" hard drive brand and because of what was said about this particular drive at the bottom of this page http://www.overclock.net/t/1619691/laptop-drives-seagat... (scroll to the bottom; it's the last post, by a guy who "does data recovery for a living"). It is important to me that the data's at least recoverable, yes I make backups but still, it's not like EVERYTHING gets instantly backed up (please don't give me a spiel about that... just don't).PLEASE do not recommend to me to buy a 1TB SSD or any other SSD. I HAVE an SSD and I simply cannot afford a 1TB one and I cannot have any less than 1TB on my storage drive, as you can see I already want even more than 1TB if possible. (If you insist on a 1TB SSD, feel free to send me one for free!) Thank you! -
I am a cinematagrapher,and I want to get a 4tb hard drive drive to store all of my work on. I am pretty much only worried about reliability, I dont want to loose data or keep having to buy another drive every two years. From my past research I have discovered that HGST (Hitiachi) has the most reliable hard drives, with a failure rate on less than 1%, the only downfall is that a 4TB HGST drive is $30-$40 more expensive than a external WD or Seagate of the same size. If I only used the drive as a backup, with minimal read and writes, would the drive brand matter in terms of reliability?

Good Day all, As I'm searching for another HDD for my custom build I find it interesting the pricing difference between 6TB & 8TB. I've attached a couple of images of the current (07-18-2017) as well as links. Can anyone explain this pricing difference or redirect me as to why. (I'm thinking this has to do with the platters but I may be wrong.) I'm a film major and (until I can afford to build a NAS) would like as much storage as possible and I'm just curious. Greatly appropriate your responses in advanced.

My hard drive I use for storage is saying that I've used 3.37 TB when I only have 1.5 TB of files. TreeSize shows that I only have 1.5 TB of stuff on there and when I scan with SpaceSniffer it says that there's 1.9 TB of space on there and won't scan it. I ran the Window error check utility on it and it said no problems were found, but when I run chkdsk it says the following: 3815316 MB total disk space. 1578861976 KB in 388574 files. 176840 KB in 17050 indexes. 2042625208 KB in bad sectors. <----------- 632783 KB in use by the system. 65536 KB occupied by the log file. 284587800 KB available on disk. 4096 bytes in each allocation unit. 976721151 total allocation units on disk. 71146950 allocation units available on disk. Anyone know what's going on and how to fix it? It's a HGST Deskstar NAS 4TB if it matters at all. Here's a screenshot I took so you can see what I mean.

Hi. I was wondering if you guys monitor your hdd temps. Is ~55°C safe? I posted my HDD temps below as well as what HGST states. I am just worried because my drives reaching ~50ish°C is on idle and still reaches at this temp.

Ive been a fan of HGST enterprise drives specifically the 7k6000 enterprise drives. Ive been using their 512e ISE format drives... no problems so far except for some noise but thats fine with me. what I am curious about is the newer 4kn format.. is there really an advantage getting 4kn drives? I am about to purchase 5-6 6TB drives for my workstation. I usually use my workstation for PS, premiere and games e.g. bf1, witcher.. etc. does getting a 512e or 4kn make a difference? btw my rig runs 24/7.

so i recently upgraded my ps4's hdd, and i've been trying to reformat it. while in an enclosure the computer registers a storage drive but does not show it, i looked at command prompt, cant even find it. used ease us, it found the hdd but kept spitting out i/o errors everything was, partition ease us and command prompt. i tried looking for bad sectors and after 3-4 hours it only went through 0.12% of the hard drive, i want to use the hard drive as an externl for games i own but rarely play, any and all suggestions are welcome!

data recovey Need Recommendations on Affordable Data Recovery
TheZorch posted a topic in Storage Devices
I'm looking for recommendations on a good data recovery service that won't cost an arm, a leg, a kidney, and a virgin sacrifice or two. It's a 3TB HGST internal SATA-III 7200rpm HDD. We can't get it to come up in either Windows or Linux (we were going to see if ddrescue could save the files). It is about 1/2 full, most of it is videos but there are some important project files on there too that we need (which "should" have been backed up!!!). We're in the United States. If you've got any recommendations, thank you in advance.- 5 replies

I am currently in the process of deciding what harddrives to get for my upcoming FreeNAS ZFS Build. I have done extensive research, and have narrowed down my drive selection to one, except I can't for the life of me figure out if it supports CCTL or not. I know this isn't "totally critical" to a software RAID setup, but it is an important factor to consider since this can lead to the drive dropping out of RAID if it hangs for to long. Just a little background, the VDEV with this drive will be 7x4TB Z2, unfortunately my other VDEV will consist of ST3000DM001's since that is what are in my current NAS, and I will be reusing them until they die, which they will.... They have actually already started to. But I will keep them going as long as I can, and be extremely vigilante of their SMART stats etc. Anyways, the real question here, has anyone had experience with the MegaScale's (HMS5C4040ALE640)? According to backblaze they are incredibly reliable, which from their definition of a failed drive "The drive will not sync, or stay synced, in a RAID array", should imply that a drive that drops out (which one would assume could easily be caused by a TLER/CCTL type issue would be counted as failed in their metrics. And with a sub 1% failure rate, if my logic is correct, THEY MUST work well in a RAID array. And a hardware RAID basically requires this feature, where software RAID its just a nice to have. So in either case, if my initial logic is right, these drives would make a solid choice. Anyone have any info? All I was able to scrounge up was some random person on some random forum saying all MegaScale drives support CCTL, and then I found this on HGST's pdf page about the drive, "When the device is in standby mode, Streaming Commands can’t be completed while waiting for the spindle to reach operating speed even if execution time exceeds specified CCTL(Command Completion Time Limit). The minimum CCTL is 50ms.CCTL is set to 50ms when the specified value is shorter than 50ms." and I am not even sure I know what that means If it turns out this is not an optimal path forward, any info on the Seagate ST4000DM000 which also have very solid failure rates according to Backblaze.

Hi, Whats the most efficient drive (cost and failure rate) WD red nas drives or HGST drives for a plex server? Cheers.

Having real trouble deciding on a new hard drive, the more I research the more doubts I have. Trying to decide between a HGST Deskstar and the Toshiba X300 4 TB drive. This will be a secondary drive (OS is on SSD), used for games and media/data storage. Toshiba X300 Performance 3.5 Pro 4TB 7200RPM 128MB, warranty: 2yr base / 5yr extended (at +16% price) Hitachi HGST 4TB H3IK40003272SE (0S03356) 7200RPM 64MB, warranty: 3yr base / 5yr extended (at +12% price) HGST Internal Drive Kit 4TB 3,5"" 7200rpm (0S03665) 7200RPM 64MB, warranty: 3yr base / 5yr extended (at +12% price) WD Black 4TB - thinking about that one, too (have access to a sale where it would be actually less expensive than the above ones, plus 5 yr warranty by the manufacturer rather than the seller), but am kind of afraid it might be too noisy (many comments make it out to be extremely loud(?)), but frankly don't know how it even compares to the other ones in that regard (I have a 1TB Samsung HD103SJ, also 7200RPM, and it is inaudible to me). Not sure if 64MB cache vs 128MB cache makes any real world difference. In general the HGSTs are praised for reliability, but I'm not sure how these particular models fare. The Toshiba (which most probably is a Hitachi design all the same) comes highly recommended to me, and looks like their top consumer model. HGST are stated as NAS drives, but I assume that makes no difference here. The second HGST has a higher product number, other than that I have no idea how the two differ. Not quite sure if extended warranty makes much sense, can't find info whether the manufacturers allow RMA based on bad sectors or not. Price: of those three the Toshiba is the least expensive, the second HGST (0S03665) the most. Price difference between those is +/-15-20% without extended warranty (2 vs 3yrs) and +/-12% at 5 yrs both), the other HGST (0S03356) sits somewhere in between. There are lots of other HGST models, but those two are in my price range. I already had a WD Blue 4TB, but sent it back because of the head parking feature (8 sec, made hundreds of load cycles in the first 2 days alone), didn't want to mess with wdidle3. As far as I know those are now identical to WD Greens. The sound level was nice though (except for that clicking of the head parking). Any suggestions highly appreciated. Thanks!

I have been using my HGST NAS 4TB HDD and an Orico dock for around 4 months my notebook at home (http://www.amazon.com/ORICO-External-Docking-Duplicator-Function/dp/B00JJEUL5W) Everything was fine until recently the HDD keeps hanging while copying/writing data on it. It has 100% activity but absolutely no I/O happening. It hangs around a minute and it came back normal, after 10s, it hanged again, and this process keeps repeated and repeated again. It was so frustrating that I can't recognize what's wrong even when looking at S.M.A.R.T. So I wiped everything, recreated a volume and ran surface test using HDDScan, the HDD still keeps hanging, so I gave up and go sleep. The next day I ran the test again, strangely this time the HDD didn't hang, but I got even more frustrated...... HOW CAN A HDD SUDDENLY REACH 300MB/s!? WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE HDD!? No bad sector was found BTW, so what's wrong? -
HGST (used the be Hitachi, part of Western Digital) just released a 1.5TB notebook hard drive. You might think "Hey WD already makes 1.5 and 2 TB laptop drives" and you would be right, but those drives are 15mm thick, these are to thick for newer laptops which use 9.5mm drives. Up until now the larger laptop drives had to be 15mm thick in order to fit the 3 platters that are needed for more then 1TB. So in addition to shrinking the electronics, HGST also had to tweak the mechanical components to provide extra room for the three platters in a 9.5mm package.

I not new to pc and hard drives failures. (In my work we have over 500 disks spinning) But my current experiences with HGST 2.5" Travelstar drives has been terrible. (model HTS721010A9E630) I order this drive http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1tb-hgst-0j22423-travelstar-7k1000-25-sata-6gb-s-7200rpm-32mb-cache-13ms for my gaming system, basically to hold steam games and drop box files of the ssd. Hoping for some fast non critical storage So the fist drive i got seemed to work well for a weeks/month or so. then i was getting allot of blue screens in game, which i thought was my overclock, but it turned out it was the drive where it would make windows do a disk check on every boot and windows would fix 1-10k worth of sectors each time and caused system locks/BCOD's. talk about a warning sign. So I RMA'd that drive. So this week i got my RMA back with a new drive. I though i would test this drive out before going to crazy with it it passed a error scan and smart tests, so after copying about 1gb of data onto it this is what HD tune looks like. WTF happened, it passed just fine 1h before this point. Also after a rebbot it goes back to this. but then if i add data to the drive Talk about a temperamental issue. Form everything is fine to everything is broken. I think its time to try something i know and wedge a WD blue into my system. Any ideas whats going on. i have swapped the ssd round with this dive so its not the cables, thats 2 drives with the same issue!

HGST has announced 3 new HelioSeal hard drives, the three hard drives come in capacities of 6, 8 and 10TB. All of these drives use HGST's HelioSeal technology witch means that they are filled with helium instead of air. Because of this the platters can be stacked closer to each other than with a conventional air filled hard drive. The 8TB Ultrastar He8 will be available right away together with the smaller 6TB model. A 10TB model with 7 densely stacked platters, has also been announced but is still in the final phase of testing at HGST. This 10TB model will have a 12Gbit/s sas interface and 128MB cache. According to HGST the new series of drives will offer that best dollar per gigabyte that you can currently get for enterprise grade hard drives. The high storage capacity of the 8 and 10TB hard drives is possible due to two techniques. As stated above, HelioSeal technology fills the drives with helium to reduce the heat developed by air-resistance within the drive. HGST also used a storage technology called shingled magnetic recording (SMR), in which data fields on a platters partially overlap. According to competitor Seagate this technology will allow them to produce 20TB + hard drives around the year 2020. HGST thinks that all their drives will be filled with helium by the year 2017, this also applies to their consumer range.

Hey guys, Looking to use dual hard drive in my MacBook Pro. The HGST Travelstar 7K1000 1TB and WD Scorpio Black 750GB are what I am looking at currently. These are the two best performing hard drives on Tom's Hardware charts. Typically the 7K1000 performs better than the Scorpio, according to teh charts. I'm wondering if there are any testaments on the reliability, speed, and the general satisfaction with the product, if you have any experience with them. THANKS!

Western Digital subsidiary HGST has unveiled an interesting new enterprise-class hard drive series. The new Ultrastar He hard drives and are the first to be hermetically sealed and filled with helium. The drives offer 6 TB of capacity and have been qualified by some of the biggest companies in the tech world including Netflix, HP, and a number of social media companies. The reason the drives are filled with helium is to reduce turbulence inside the hard drive associated with normal air. The helium used inside the drive is 1/7 of the density of normal room air allowing for lower power consumption and lower operating temperature inside the drive. HGST says that the 6 TB drive uses 5.3 watts of power at idle, weighs 640 g, and runs 4-5°C cooler than a standard 3.5-inch five platter 4 TB hard drive. The drive also uses the HGST 7Stac design to reach 6 TB making it the highest capacity hard drive with the best total cost of ownership for cloud storage and other enterprise uses. Source: HGST
