Anyone running WD Ultrastars (HGST) - Any good?

Featured Replies

Soon to be running out of space on my NAS.  Currently have a mix of 4 and 6TB WD Black drives.  My local computer chain near me has the 8TB WD Ultrastars on sale and they come out cheaper than getting a 6TB black at regular price.  Wondering if anyone has had good luck with them?

Thanks

I have 3 original HGST, a 500mb DeskStar from around 2005-2007, I don't remember exactly, and two 3TB UltraStars.  They have been bulletproof and solid performers.  I cannot speak to what has happened to them after WD acquired them, they may be the same high quality drive, and I would expect that, but I have not used any of the WD variant.

Thanks.  I had a few deskstars as well.  They were very good.

I bought and shucked half a dozen WD MyBook 8TB drives for my server.

They identify themselves as HGST Ultrastar and have worked fine for the last 6 months.
