Fast,quiet yes as for reliability? I don't know yet. I will let you know in a few years! For the price I think its a bargain for a 7200 sata III @3 TBs! Pick up your own external enclosure and for a little over $100.00 you have a high quality portable hard drive! Much better than the WD\Seagate externals being sold!

From seller's description: "New Pull -The product has been mounted in a brand new system (e.g. server) then removed from the system before entering service. These products may have a few hours of usage due to system build time etc. Ostensibly however New Pulls are electronically new items which may show signs of being physically mounted and unmounted. All handling is performed by trained technicians taking full ESD precautions." Guys, such type of electronics properly named "used".

Currently running 24 of these, 12 of them have been running for over 3 years, no issues. Before they go in they get badblocks tested for days (read/write to all sectors on the disk), never once had an issue, even with refurb ones. In prod, they get tested regularly on all blocks via smart, not a single one has started reporting errors. Able to read/write across the array at around 4gb/s. Happy camper. Oh, they're loud. But these are intended for datacenter use, so. Meh.

I believe that the Hitachi Ultrastar and the IBM drives are the same. In any case, these are the drives you will find in the Top Dollar machines. They will probably be the 4T, or the 5Terabyte versions, but that is why mere mortals can afford these for their home machines. I stack them in http://www.ebay.com/itm/361235059474?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT enclosures so I can stack four or six in a tower using the fast Firewire. (Though the enclosure also supports USB-3.0 if you are stuck in that world.) For the price of the drives, and $60.00 worth of enclosures you have a twelve Terabyte tower with no fans. I put rubber feet as standoffs to help a little. I suspect I have the only 21 Terabyte Mac-Mini in New Mexico.
