This is an enterprise-grade drive, so it's reliable, reasonably fast, and has a good warranty. It's also power-hungry, runs a little warm, and can be loud, but that's to be expected. I have nearly 20 of these drives and have only ever had one die on me. They can also run up to 5 C hotter than the WD Red drives at idle, and more than that under heavy load. They are also noticeably louder than the WD Red drives. I don't have a decibel reading or anything, but it might get annoying if you have these drives a few feet from your desk, but then again these are designed for servers. They are more expensive than other 3 TB drives, but if you're someone who needs durable drives you'll appreciate their reliability and extra warranty.

The disk is very fast and reliable. However, it vibrates a lot, so make sure there's nothing inside your computer that will rattle!

Packaged in a well-padded box and testing drives showed no issues. I would buy again from goharddrive for my next ESXi.

So far, so good. While not as great or quite as my SSD it has been great as my primary storage drive.

The drives are very quiet, fast, and reliable, but run quite warm. After leaving them running in a cage with a fan for a week, I had no issues with them except for the heat.

I'm usually a skeptic of refurbished storage media, but I'm completely happy with these. I bought 3 total, have 2 in a mirrored ZFS pool and 1 on standby. 4 months later now and there hasn't been a single hiccup so that's good. I hope for at least a couple years life. I'm honestly not sure what to expect out of refurbished drives, but for $70 less than the newest models, I've been happy to pocket the savings

As described, both disks were just as new with 5 and 6 days of use, based on S.M.A.R.T. report. I tested both disks with Linux's "badblocks" (read and write) and both were found flawless. Thank you!

This type of hard drive is designed to be super reliable and I have 4 set up in my unraid server. With two stacked on top of each other the temps are around 45~50 during parity checks and intensive writes but that's my fault. Other than the really long shipping time (which is clearly noted in the listing) this has exceeded my expectations so far

Came in really fast only thing I didn't like is when I hooked it up I was missing 460 gb from it from when I upgrade from a 500 gb but other then that good so far... best thing is that it's really affordable for even 3.5 tb good work...
