White Label 2 Terabyte (2TB) 16MB Cache 7200RPM SATA2 3.5" Internal Desktop Hard Drive (For PC, Mac, CCTV DVR, NAS) - w/ 1 Year Warranty

Great price and no issues so far, replacing a name brand drive that i only got 7 months out of and paid twice the price. Not sure if I will send that one back as I can not delete the data as it was a hard failure. Will see how long this one lasts, but no complaints so far. Half the price I paid for the last one that failed. Will update this if it does fail.

I got a Dell hard drive in the mail, 2TB with a 7200 rpm speed and was made in the first of March, 2014, so it really is a gamble on what you're buying here. The drive is working pretty well, a bit loud at seeking, silent at spinning but I got drives that are as loud as this one is. So really depends on your luck. If it doesn't go well, then you can always return it and get your money back.

Update: I have had this drive for a little under two months now. Buying any drive is a little like playing the lottery. You never know what you are going to get. That is especially true buying a white label. In my case, I received a HP Enterprise drive (HPE) MB2000EBZQC. The drive is still functioning but it is already showing some bad sectors. I have about 1,200 hours on this thing so far. Compare that to my Seagate drive I've had in the same NAS for over 7 years with over 64,000 hours on it. I has zero bad sectors. I won the lottery on that one. I was hoping to get more life out of this white label than it appears I will, but that is all part of playing the lottery. I still think it is worth it at this price especially given the 1 year warranty. I plan to keep a close eye on this drive and I recommend you do the same regardless of brand or even if you buy one brand new retail. Original Review: So far, so good. I bought this a few weeks ago to replace a failed drive in my very old twin bay NAS. Since it is so old I really didn't want to spend a ton of money to keep it running. I installed the new drive and it was fully synced after about 14 hours. NAS shows it is functioning normally with no bad sectors. Some reviews have observed that this drive is very loud. Luckily, this one is not. It is no louder than the one it replaced. Edit: I happened to get a HPE MB2000EBZQC which is different than the models some others received.

I wound up with a Hitachi UltraStar 2TB 7200rpm w/32M Cache, and I'm happy as a pig in sh... um... mud, yeah. ;) I was expecting a 2TB 5400rpm 16M cache 'whoknowswhatbrand' drive, and was happy with that, since it was gonna be loaded up and locked away as an off-side backup... but I think I'll take my two 1TB WD Green drives and lock those up as backups, and use this as an every day usage, since it's faster, has more cache, and is meant for 24/7 usage, as the Greens really aren't... I might load up one with backups (1TB might be enough for the true backup/old stuff) and have the other internal for backup and just unplug it but leave it in in case I need access. I dunno, but I like the fact that I have more choices, and that I got a better drive than I was expecting. I'll order from them again in a heartbeat. Shipping was 2 days early, the price was freakin unbeatable, and I've had a cheesy grin on my face since I opened the package. It probably won't go away for a while, either. I love you, Amazon. *gigglesn0rtz*

Could not get this drive to end activity. Could not split a partition because the partition was always busy. It was the drive. Second try-I thought it might be that I was doing something wrong when the replacement drive did the same thing. A clean install of Linux Mint-same behavior. In any case, the drive is noisy enough that you would not want it in your office, even if you could get it to stop searching or whatever it is doing.

We have bought a few of these. But unfortunately one in 3 didn't hold up. A little aggravated.

Great Hardrives for the Price! I got 2 of these and the performance is nearly identical on both, WL2000GSA6472E, and from what I been reading when I did a google search on this model its the exact same as a Western Digital RE4, so these are high quality enterprise hardrives, designed to take very very long run times, it should last me forever cause I'm using mine in a Mediasonic Probox (external backup) so the hours of runtime will stay really low on it. Excellent Packaging and very fast shipping too from the seller, got it from goharddrive.com I couldn't be happier, I'm gonna order some more these drives when I can. PS: for those shopping for hardrives here is a useful article: >>>> https://www.backblaze.com/blog/best-hard-drive/ <<<< I recommending staying with 2TB if you want lifetime, cause 3TB and larger drives have a crap lifetime, I'm not getting larger drives until these stats improve

No issues. Others complain about the noise but I care about reliability and storage size. Many talked about receiving a 5400 RPM drive, loudness, with a low amount of CACHE and this is true; one should use this as a backup or additional storage.
