Great DriveStrengths: Space, speed, compatability Weakness: 7200 rpm max I've used the 7Kxxx series Hitachi drives for the last three years. They have proven very reliable even in my overheating server room. The new 500 GB drives work well with my 3Ware raid controller (access light and all) & together show a write speed of just over 70MB/sec using 'dd' under linux.

Finally got 1/2 TB solution with the optimum...Strengths: Got the highest capacity drive, suitable for NAS & SAN boxes. Fastest data transfer speed. Optimum performance in Multi-drive systems. Weakness: Nothing It really work in the AV system. Example: we put it with the Audio Video company where they are capture the image, storing it and at the same time broacasting that image to the users. So there it works smoothely whereas other drives fails. Because of the big buffer size and double transfer speed, the performance of the drive, increases.

Hidden problems built into this drive!Strengths: Lots of storage Weakness: The HDD LED feature does not work; this is a firmware problem that has been known to Hitachi for some time. Also, these drives and Hitachi's InfoTool do not work properly w/Promise SATA300 TX4 card. The HDD LED feature does not work; this is a firmware problem that has been known to Hitachi for some time, and they have yet to do anything to fix it. You may guage HDD access using pins on the motherboard, but if you use a drive cartridge (e.g., a CRU Dataport 10), you will not see any indication of HDD access on the cartridge's in-built access LED! Additionally, when the Acoustic Management...

Stable and FastStrengths: Fast. Big Cache. Lots of space. Weakness: The first two Arrived DOA I've now got three of these in a stripped array. Each drive proveds 465.75 GB for an array of 1.37 TB. The Array has been running for a while and I've moved 1.1 TB of data back and forth from the drives several times with no issues. I'm ordering two more now to expand the array.

Hitachi Deskstar 7K500 HDS725050KLA360 500 GB...Strengths: lots of storage and fast access of data Weakness: dosen't come in 10k, 12k, and 15k versions recently bought 2 of these monster storage drives which equals to a full terabyte of storage which means i have one less major problem to think about for quite awhile despite the fast growing need for larger hdd storage capacities.

Hitachi Deskstar 7K500 HDS725050KLA360 500 GB...Strengths: huge storage(500gb) and fast access at reasonable price along with hitachi high quality Weakness: does not come 10k, 12k, 15k like fiber channel and scsi hard disk drives. as things stand now, the current 7200rpm version still offers fast access to data and with hitachi's great reputation for innovations and high quality i'm sure they're working on 10k, 12k, and 15k versions and will soon become reality.

Blazingly Fast 3gb/s sata 2
Strengths: Best sata 2 transfer speed-- 5YR hitachi warranty Reliable and quiet operation
Weakness: none
In the past 6 months i have built 30 desktop PC's and have used numerous drives from-Seagate,Maxtor,West Digital,Quantum. And none come close to the speed and performance of this Hitachi drive. Using Hitachi's software you can enable sata II transfer option and double transfer speeds up to 3gb/s It also has a 5 yr warranty. You cant do better than this drive for the price.
