Up for sale today is, IMHO, one of the finest hard disks ever made by ANY manufacturer, at least in terms of reliability.
It's an Ultrastar (not to be confused with the Desk/Deathstars) 2TB model. Ultrastars are the drives Hitachi does not mess around with. This has all the reliability of the high end SCSI drives without the price tag (it's also not bad performance for a 7200 RPM drive too). The 7k3000 series is a 5 platter drive which gives it awesome seek times, with a still high density at 2TBs total disk space. The most killer thing about this drive series though is that it has a 2 Million Hour Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF) rating. That beats just about every consumer drive ever made in history, and is the best amongst any hard drive in existence that I know of.
This may sound familiar, as this is the exact same drive I sold here:

The only difference is this drive is brand new and sealed, in original anti-static bag from the bulk pack. It's a pretty awesome deal in that way. SOLD
Where'd I get it? I apparently ordered it with that same batch from which I drew the last drive I sold, and somehow, forgot about it. Don't laugh, I have A LOT of technology stuff sitting around. I found it in my closet today sitting on a shelf, lol.
If you have a BIOS that supports ATA security, this drive is also a SED (Self Encrypting) drive. But it only works via old ATA functions for password management, so this is probably useless unless you have a workstation type computer.
This is an OEM drive meaning it is only warrantied for 1 year via Hitachi. I will work with you if you need warranty service. I doubt you will, however. The MTBF doesn't often lie with these drives.
Thanks for looking! Picture time!
