RE: [Avid-L2] Hitachi Deskstar Drives are gone what now?

 

My understanding is that Deskstar are meant to be used as PC drives and not typically 24/7 RAID use drives. These normally have 2-3 year warranty and have lower MTBF (Mean time between failures).  Ultrastar are Enterprise class drives desighned to operate 24/7 and have advanced error detection for use in RAID arrays. They also typically have 5 year warranty and a higher MTBF.

That article is from 2007.  Does it still apply?  They are talking about 1TB drives!

What is the difference between Deskstars and Ultrastars?  I have used a lot of 4TB Ultrastars over the past 3-4 years with no problems.

I've been buying Toshiba hard drives since 2014 and haven't been burned yet!  They have been cheaper than HGST drives but very reliable.

Toshiba only acquired part of the Hitachi drive business.   WD retained the HGST line. according to this, they phased out the HGST branding in 2018.

It seems Western Digital has EOL's the Hitachi Deskstar drives.  I see they are no longer at Fry's and prices on internet are through the roof.  I've google and it seems they don't list them as products on the Western Digital site.

 

What is the logical replacement for my long time friend the Hitachi Deskstar 4TB or 6TB?
