These are all right in the range I'd expect.    Did you have a question about this?  ... or are you just posting it for info?

Just posting some info on some non mainstream drives.  Seems everyone is on the WD red/green bandwagon, so decided to try a few others since they are the same price or cheaper.

I assumed as much.  Any drives using the same areal density with effectively the same rotational speed are going to have very similar times.

 

By the way the HGST drives are VERY well reviewed and have an excellent track record r.e. reliability.

 

I've been very happy with the WD Reds and Seagate NAS units I've used, so that's all I use these days -- any drives I buy in the near future will be 6TB WD Reds ... but if HGST comes out with a 6TB unit I'll likely try that as well.    Just don't see any reason to buy drives smaller than what's available for a storage server.

Is this drive mounted where it's not getting good airflow?    The temp (48C) is  notably higher than I'd like.  Low 40's is fine, but anything above 45 is worrisome.    I know these drives are spec'd for up to 60, but it's still better if they're kept well below that.

It was open air on top of the case (vert hdd dock).  It was a bit warm, but it was at 45c for most of the test.  Inside the case the drives stay 25-30c.

About what I had assumed -- just wanted to be sure these weren't temps from a drive that was receiving good ventilation.
