Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.C 1TB 1000GB Hard Drive SATA2 7200RPM 32MB Cache 3.5IN OEM

Cons: NOISY. It sounds like this HD never stops working! It frequently makes noises as if it's booting up again or something. There's maybe 5-10 seconds of silence before it starts making noise again (sometimes louder than others).

Pros: Fast for the priceDependable Brand

Cons:-S.M.A.R.T reads 91% fitness and 91% performance

Pros:-somewhat quiet-fast-2 platter design-runs cool

Cons: No cons so far

Pros: Bought this drive as an upgrade for my Tivo HD on recommendation of the tivocommunity.com site (thread 370784). I followed the instructions there to install and had no issues. Drive is quiet and so far is performing as advertised.

Cons: None. Works as expected.

Pros: So far, so good. It seems to be a good drive at a great price for a terabyte.

Cons: None.

Pros: The first one worked well, so I bought another. The new one works as well as her older sister.

Cons: I purchased 4 of them and one of them was DOA. It never powered up. Hitachi made me send back to them on my dime (8 bucks to ship). They also want you to pack in specific types of pacakges...you can't use bubble wrap, you have to use a box with shock absorbing foam cut out so that the hard drive fits snug, with the hard drive in a static proof bag. If you don't ship it that way, they say that they will void your warranty.

Pros: Hard drives are inexpensive. Work decent in a 4 bay NAS device. Good transfer rates.

Cons: Dead on arrival

Pros: Fast shipment.

Cons: At least at first you can hear it working especially under workload.

Pros: One TB at a fairly decent price!

Cons: None.

Pros: Extremely cheap price. The drive is fairly fast and quite. I have it in a Slim desktop case and cannot notice it spinning even when it tries to load a 5gb movie file. It also has a very large capacity.

Cons: I wish these would be the same size as SAS drives and with the same price of 3.5" drives.

Pros: Quiet, run cool. 32 meg cache, 3 year warranty.

Cons: These being the larger capacity model includes more than one platter, thus more mechanical parts. I chose to raid0 4x 500gbs with this in mind, but i'd still highly recommend the 7k1000.c series overall.

Pros: I am currently running 4 of the 500gb model in raid0. By Design, the 500gb variants are single platter. Using a measly ICH10R, i blew past 500mb/s read/writes, short stroked.

Cons:None thus far

Pros:QuietCoolWorks

Cons:Questionable quality: Made in China

Pros:2 x 500GB platters

Cons:none so far

Pros:pricecapacity

Cons: Should have bought more of them while on sale.

Pros: Works well so far. Quiet and runs very cool - possibly the coolest-running drive I've ever had.

Cons: Hitachi

Pros: 1TB

Cons: None yet..

Pros: I'm not going to list techspecs, you guys already know those. I am a current college student, and this is a GREAT "cheap" hard drive.Mobility being the prime objective in college, I have this rigged as an external drive. This keeps it exceptionally cool. It has no problem connecting to my laptop (mac), and after re-formatting it was good to go.The main use of my current drive is store copies of ripped movies. I have about 735GBs left, and plan on filling that soon.I am already considering buying a second one. It would be for mostly storing work, which is going to be very important in my choice field.I highly recommend this hard drive.

Cons: none thus far

Pros: 7200 speed / 32MB cache makes this a good choice for audio/video editing

Cons: None

Cons: Would be nice if they dropped another 10-20 bux.

Pros: Bought these as dump drives for backup of critical data servers for an enterprise environment. New regulations require data to be kept for extended periods off site, these cheap 1TB drives work great for long archiving over typical tape, esp with the new regulations requiring HD's and NOT tape.
