Arrived in solid, but rigid packing. One small box nested in a bigger one in Matryoshka style. It was clearance between the two, so the small one bounces inside the bigger one like a dried hazelnut in a shell. No bubble wrap, foam or similar padding. The carriers drop or throw this boxes around without mercy. As the drive is heavy and fragile it could be easily damaged. I do not know if that is the case with mine, but the drive seems faulty. Extremely noisy like drives from 20 years ago. Periodically it buzzes like high rpm fan with a lot of vibration. The mounting screws, which I tightened reasonably well were loose after only 8 hours of operation because of the vibration. It is also restless without being solicited, the heads "scratch" all the time. It runs a bit hot for being idle, with the computer case completely open. I have many other drives, including 15 000 rpm SAS drives and 10 000 rpm Raptor drives, none makes this noises. The tests also show the drive had already 33 hours of use, where does it come from? Somebody's RMA? I wonder if it is a real HGST or a knockoff, I am not happy and going to return it. Seller was pretty good replacing it with new one. It is better, but still very noisy, If you like it quiet it will drive you crazy. It constantly scratches and buzzes. I disabled and even uninstalled it through device manager, no difference, it has its own mind. I ended buying a HDD switch to turn it off/on and use it as storage only. It is big and might be reliable, but super annoying.

I've purchased these for my Synology NAS. Have been working great, minimal noise. Easy to install. I've been buying Hitachi's/HGSTs for several years now and have been very happy with them.

Impressed by reviews, which suggest this is the best of this size and speed on the market. After a month, still working great. Noticably faster than 5400 drives.

I love HGST. Look for error rates amongst hard drive manufacturers. HGST is significantly more reliable than Seagate and other Western Digital drives.
