WD Ultrastar DC HC530 14TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 3.5" Enterprise HDD - WUH721414ALE6L4 (Renewed)

I bought this drive to move data from a dying exos, I made sure that I bought a reliable hard drive model. Make sure to look at backblaze so you don't end up with dead drives. Looking at backblaze a good majority of the these models are pretty reliable. As for this drive, I have around 3600 hours added to the whatever hours it had before. I ran this drive near 24/7 and its still good. I had this drive for about 4 months. It's a silent drive, a contrast to the exos that I bought before. So if you don't like the rumble and ear piercing screech of a seagate, this drive is for you. I'm not saying all exos drives are bad since I have a 2+ year old recertified drive with 12k hours on it. Last hard drive I bought it from goharddrive, this one as well I selected goharddrive as the seller. This is important since they have a 5 year warranty and good customer service. (warrantied a drive twice) Don't let amazon select your seller or you'll end up with a paper weight and 150 buck poorer.

Been going strong for almost a year

I wanted to add storage to my 2020 desktop with an Intel motherboard and a 1 TB SSD drive running Windows 11. The $ per TB cost of this 14 TB HDD seemed almost too good to be true so I was a little skeptical and assumed there must be some downside. I am happy to report that so far I have found no downside and it has, if anything, exceeded my expectations. The drive is quiet, seems fast, of course not SSD fast, but HDD fast, worked with my existing SATA and PSU connectors, and didn't require anything other than the software that is already in Windows to initialize and do a quick format. I did have to Google "how to initialize and format a hard drive in Windows 11" to figure that last part out but once I did it was surprisingly easy. The drive is bare bones with no mounting hardware or screws. In my case, the mounting hardware came with my computer case so that was not a problem. For those that don't already know this, Windows uses the binary standard for a terabyte which equals 1,099,511,627,776 bytes so it will report the capacity as 12.7 TB but will also show that there are 14,000,500,764,672 bytes of free space available.
