It says it has been on for 998 hours, has been powered up 590 times, and is 5700RPM, not 7500RPM like a lot of buyers claim to have received. Looking at all of this, strongly suggests that I have paid for a used drive. I only give it two stars because it showed up, and powers up. Here is a screen capture of the drive received. It already has over 41 days of use on it, supposedly new. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A STEAL at These Prices vs. G-Tech *by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2016* I'm an Avid Editor by trade, 20 years now... I've worked in LA for various studios and networks and I've ALWAYS used G-Tech. I literally have 30 at my home office right now, various ones at my regular edit bay. I always 'used' G-Tech because of their reliability when others have failed, like Lacie and Seagate.However, G-Tech's prices are insane... literally 2-3x this price for 8 TB, which I now need with 4K footage. I was looking at the 'guts' of these and, huh, same as G-Tech's -- Hitachi. And, when you edit, you mainly need the 7200 rpm speed, which this has. Those are the two specs I liked from G-Tech... but with these prices so low, I was skeptical.I have to say, I now own two 8 TBs and they've been rock solid.The ONLY little thing I don't like, which almost all newer drives have, is the environmental thing where it spins down after a little while and you have to wake it back up. The G-Techs seem like they last a little longer before spinning down... but that's a minor thing. This spins down after about two minutes of not being used, which actually preserves the life of it so it's a good thing.Anyway, this is amazing and I'm on Amazon today buying a third :) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Checking in after four years. *by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2015* So, I'm coming up on my four year anniversary of owning this thing in a couple weeks, and I felt some people might like to know how it holds up during long-term usage.The drive still works, I can tell you that much. But not at 100% functionality. Essentially, it no longer spins up automatically like it's supposed to. You know how hard drives often go to sleep when they're left powered on but inactive for a period of time? That's all well and good, because when you go to do something with them they then spin back up and are ready to use after a few seconds. This one doesn't do that; once it spins down, I need to power cycle it to get it to spin up again.Now, here's the thing. I think that's a problem with Fantom's enclosure, not the hard drive sitting inside of it. The HDD works great, but for some reason it's just not getting that "spin up" signal anymore. Frankly, whatever bare HDDs they're putting in these drives seems to be very reliable. Being the drive that I back up my files to, this disk is absolutely the workhorse out of the several internal and external drives I have connected to my computer. I have automated backup routines that are writing things to this drive as often as hourly while the computer is on. By far, in terms of volume this drive has had more data pumped through it than probably any drive I own or have owned.So, the drive still works perfectly fine while its spinning. Having to power cycle it to get it to work properly is concerning, but in practice its a minor inconvenience, and the truth is this drive has impressed me with its endurance. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/201154017-fd-6tb-external-hard-drive-usb-3-2-gen-1](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/201154017-fd-6tb-external-hard-drive-usb-3-2-gen-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
