Hitachi HGST WD Ultrastar DC HC510 10TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 3.5-inch SED Hard Drive - HUH721010ALE601 (0F27605) (Renewed)

I have purchased about 25 of theses renewed 5-year warranty 4TB, 8TB and now this 10TB HDDs. In general, I have been very pleased with the HDD's. However, the last two renewed 8TB HDD's I received were both defective. Both those HDD's passed the Quick test, but failed the Extended test. Both passed the Quick Format, but Failed on the Long Format option which checks the HDD block by block. It took about 25 hours to run the Extended test on this 10TB HDD on my computer, but it passed the test. Better to run that Extended test before you put a bad HDD into your system and have it fail a few weeks or months down the road when it might be loaded with data. I have only had a few renewed HDD's fail, after about 1 year, but they were quickly replaced because I kept all my receipts and warranty info. I use these renewed HDDs in my Home Media Center NAS and as backups. Great value for the money.

Drive failed after a little over a year. Currently trying to go through the warranty process. Will update depending on outcome. Edit: seller gave me a refund under warranty for the drive. This rating is purely because of the seller. The drive itself was a disappointment.

Ordered x3 of these. Arrived in about 2 weeks, later than Amazon said it would. HDDs arrived well packaged, but had a sticker saying "If seal is broken, do not accept" and ... the seal was broken. Additionally, Crystal Disk Info said they had 68,000-58,000 hours use with less than 50 spin downs. That's like 7 years constant use. Because of the heavy use, the drives no longer spin-down at idle when mounted to a Linux system running HD-IDLE set to spin down in 1 minute of inactivity. So, they keep spinning and generate a lot of heat. This is common for HDDs that are on their last leg. Amazon issued me a refund, but I am wishing that I bought new because I am not sure if I can use these w/o risking serious data loss down the line. I suppose they'd be OK for a backup solution, but not much more.

This is a refurbished drive. Rather, it is a drive that was in a data center for some period of time and decommissioned. It arrived sealed in a electrostatic sealed package in what looks like original drive shipping materials. Considering the price is about half that of a new drive and that I am using the drive for cold storage, I am okay with getting a drive that was pulled from a datacenter. I did an initial format of the drive and a full system backup of a 10TB array and the drives had no errors or problems.

So far so good! Once I was finally able to get the drive to spin up that is (more on that below). It was seen by MacOS as 10TB, I formatted it as APFS and am in the process of loading just over 2TB worth of data onto it and everything seems fine. Also the drive is surprisingly very quiet. Which is almost a bummer for me. Since the system I installed it in is rack-mounted, I was kind of looking forward to a nice wiring sound lol. Ok so the issue getting it to spin up and the reason for the 4 stars. The drive I received did not come with the adapter to disable the stupid power disable feature! I figured it was no problem I have tons of SATA power adapters of all different kinds…but none of them worked! I briefly thought the drive was doa. As a last resort I decided to just put a small piece of tape over pin3 on the power cable and to my surprise the drive fired right up and has been working great so far. So if you buy one these and the adapter is missing or you don't want to use it, just put a skinny piece of tape over pin3 (3rd over from the L shape) and you’ll be good to go. This isn't my first time needing to use that trick, and it’s never failed me.

Not sure if this is a Helioseal drive or not but it runs cool and relatively quiet. Has a lot of hours on it and that is expected since it is a pull. I use these drives for archiving video files 1-30Gb in size. These drives handle continuous transfers without slowing down or choking. Standard consumer drives always slow down with large file transfers. They used to sell these with more than a 90 day warranty and I miss the longer warranty yet these drives are good value and well worth purchasing as archival drives.

Bought HDD in June 2025, died in the beginning of February 2026. First sign was some bad sectors, followed by full blown spin-up. - I set the drive to read-only and removed dependencies from it, to use as cold storage until I can get a replacement drive. Unfortunately the next day after a reboot to my server, the drive no longer is detectable, has failed completely. Don't trust these drives for long-term storage. Initial SMART scan showed no issues, and of course lots of previous use-time as it's refurbished. But for the price/capacity - you'd be better off getting a pair of 6TB drives new and pay a little more for a likely much longer reliable uptime.

$8 per TB, what a deal! So far very pleased with hard drive. I'm using it as a "temp drive" while processing large files on my computer, I thought it would have a lot of hours so I was hesitant to use it in my NAS. Somehow I must have gotten a "shelf queen" as it had 0 hours and I was the first power up. Drive is a little bit noisy if you didn't grow up in the age of spinning disks and flying heads but it's 90s nostalgia for me. Tempted to pick up a couple more for my NAS. Just an FYI.. Mine didn't come with an adapter and I didn't need to modify pin 3 for it to work in my USB enclosure. It just powered up and was ready to be initialized out of the box.

Lots of hours of use but only 200 power cycles, so I expect it to last a while ...nice quality /quiet

Power on hours 39190 (4y, 5m, 19d, 22h) Seems to be in working condition. Did a preclear and everything seems to be just fine?

I purchased three 10TB hard drives for my NAS system. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with their performance. They operate quietly, although there is a periodic click due to PWL, which is normal and nothing to be concerned about. In terms of performance, these drives deliver excellently, and I couldn't find a better price elsewhere. However, since they are refurbished, there's always a slight risk of failure, but that's the case with any hard drive, even brand new ones. To mitigate this, I have set up RAID 5 on my NAS. Additionally, the reseller provided an additional 5-year warranty, which provides some peace of mind. Unfortunately, one of the drives failed after just 4 months of use. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the responsiveness of the customer service team. I contacted them and received prompt support. The reseller, Evrymm, quickly issued a refund with minimal hassle; they only required the serial number for verification. I'm extremely satisfied with their service, so much so that I immediately purchased two more drives from them. I highly recommend them based on my positive experience.

RAS en l'état Disques reçu rapidement et bien protégé dans leur boite (un film plastique maintient bien le disque). Aussitôt reçus, je procède à un test smart extended afin de m'assurer de la bonne santé de chaque disque. Il faut savoir que ces disques ont vécu, environ 30.000h de fonctionnement sur chacun mais très peu d'arrêt/rallumage. HGST est une marque fiable (peut-être la meilleure au monde au passage) avec un taux de panne assez faible j'ai bon espoir que ces disques puissent durer encore quelques années. En tout cas le rapport prix au to est intéressant. Je conseille toutefois d'utiliser uniquement pour du backup ou usage en raid par sécurité et attention car étant des disques datacenter ils sont bruyants surtout quand on écrit dessus.

I bought this revised 10TB HHD. The first couple of days it worked fine. But then suddenly it stopped working and started to make clicking/scratching noises. I lost over 3TB of files because of that. So I am very unhappy with this drive and decided to return it.
