  • Communication Protocol

    Hard drives communicate with the computer through a protocol.

    There are two protocols for HDD hard drives, SATA (for simple use) and SAS (high reliability for corporate use).

    SAS 3.0

    A modern connection standard with high reliability aimed at corporate use.

    The motherboard should have a corresponding connection.

  • Cache Size

    Intermediate temporary memory between the disk and the computer, allowing the hard disk to provide faster and more immediate access to data. It does not have any particular benefit for the average user.

  • Form Factor

    The size of the HDD hard drive.

    3.5

    The classic size of a desktop computer hard disk drive (HDD).

  • Rotation Speed

    The most important feature along with capacity is that the faster the rotation speed of a hard disk, the faster the access and storage of data it can provide.

    7200

    The most popular HDD hard drives, about 33% faster than 5400. Suitable for all uses such as installing programs and games. For installing the operating system, programs, and games, SSD are even faster and remain the best choice.

Capacity

The amount of data that a hard disk can store. 2TB and 4TB are the golden ratio of cost and capacity. For simple use, 1TB is likely sufficient. For reference, a 1TB hard disk can hold approximately 250,000 photos taken with a 12MP camera or 250 movies.

    After a lot of back-and-forth with management, I managed to convince them to replace the Seagate drives with these ones.

    The SAS protocol is nothing like SATA in terms of speed and reliability; it's twice as fast.

    Regarding reliability, the drives are a bit quieter compared to the Seagate ones, but most importantly, they run at a lower temperature. Now, if you have 30 drives running 5 degrees cooler in the Data Room, it makes a difference. They haven't had any issues for 6 months now with daily read-write operations, both for backups and for network folders.

    If someone wanted to build their own NAS at home with TrueNAS, these drives are excellent, considering you won't be doing the same amount of read-write operations and data volume at home on a daily basis.

    Edit 1: After 4 years of 24/7 continuous use, not a single drive has shown an error, bad sector, or started clicking. The HC series, formerly Hitachi before WD acquired them, produces rock-solid drives.

    This review is about a variation of the product

    I believe it is the noisiest hard drive on the market. At night, the clicking sound is heard every 2-3 seconds (even if the NAS is on and the PC is off), as if you had a fork scratching a wooden surface. If I had known, I would have paid an extra 200 to buy a 4tb SSD. It might be less audible when installed inside a PC, because the NAS casing amplifies the sound due to its shape and lighter construction... but still, there is no chance of it not being heard!
    If you are going to place it in another room or house or country, I recommend it. If you want to have it next to you, bring earplugs. Otherwise... fully reliable.
