September 27, 20178 yr $169.99 [Newegg] HGST He6 [Helium] HUS726060ALA640 6TB 7200 RPM Enterprise HDD I assume this is a good deal, it's the cheapest I've ever seen a 6TB helium filled drive @ $28.33/TB. (Though I've never really looked too hard) Are these are still the pinnacle for parity performance? Could anyone comment on the reliability/performance or Pro's/Con's of these drives, as I have 4 in my shopping cart ready to buy. I'd be looking to replace my 6TB WD Red Pro's in two unRAID servers. Happy shopping, and save me a few!
September 27, 20178 yr These appear to be older drives that have been phased out. They are seven platter OEM bare drives that came out around 2014 with a five year original warranty, yet being sold by a third party wholesaler/reseller through Newegg with a three year warranty. The vendor lists them for $195 on their own website with a 5 year warranty. goHardfDrive is not an authorized distributor for HGST and without a serial number not possible to verify a warranty with HGST. For $10 more you can get a HGST Deskstar NAS retail box (vs the Ultrastar He6 OEM) 6TB at B&H. Amazon, Fry's and Newegg also had the sale, but no longer.
