December 26, 201312 yr Anybody known anything about this HD? HGST Deskstar NAS 3.5-Inch 4TB 7200RPM SATA III 64MB Cache Internal Hard Drive Kit (0S03664) by HGST
December 26, 201312 yr Assume you mean the (0S03664) listed on HGST drive listing here: http://www.hgst.com/tech/techlib.nsf/techdocs/9E4E119077AD1D8B86256DD0005A2F74/$file/LineCard_HGST_1213_LQ.pdf That what you are referring to? Other than the single line listing I just found no. Pre-order at B&H Photo
December 26, 201312 yr Author Yes, that is the one, thanks for the info, guess we will have to wait for further info on it.
January 7, 201412 yr I stumbled across this drive today while looking for a new drive. Other than the tech info on Amazon, I cannot find anything else. I wonder if this is basically a 7200RPM WD Red drive. From Amazon: The Deskstar NAS hard drive is a 7200 RPM 3.5-inch hard drive that provides an exceptional blend of reliability and performance, making it an ideal solution for consumer and commercial desktop NAS systems. This NAS-ready hard drive from HGST delivers media transfer rates that are as much as 20% faster than 5400 RPM drives and seek times less than 12ms. Furthermore, Deskstar NAS hard drives incorporate a rotational vibration sensor and achieve reliability of 1M hours MTBF. All HGST hard drives are designed to the highest quality standards with field-proven components. They are backed by HGST worldwide technical support and integration services, enabling customers around the globe to bring their products to market quickly.
January 9, 201412 yr Author I was wondering if was a new design with 4 platters or still the old 5 platter drive with a new name.
January 9, 201412 yr There's no entry for it in the HDD Platter Capacity database site (yet) ... so I can't confirm it; but I suspect this is still an 800GB/platter unit with 5 platters. No other manufacturer has achieved 7200rpm with their 4TB drives that use 1TB platters yet -- even the Enterprise class WD's and Seagates still use smaller platters.
January 9, 201412 yr No other manufacturer has achieved 7200rpm with their 1TB platters yet -- even the Enterprise class WD's and Seagates still use smaller platters. Do you mean specifically for NAS branded HD's? The Seagate ST3000DM001 and ST2000DM001 units I have are all 7200 rpm 1TB/platter units. The Seagate NAS versions of these HD's run at 5900 rpm, but I'm sure that's more for power consumption/heat than due to an inability to run at 7200 rpm.

No, what I actually meant to note was that 4TB drives using 1TB platters aren't yet available in 7200rpm units. I corrected the post above to reflect that.
June 27, 201412 yr Has any tested with unraid? I'm thinking about picking one as a replacement for smaller drive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
