## Description

DC HC550 16TB 512MB SATA ULTRA SE NP3

Review: Reliable - It's a little noisy, but safe, fast and reliable so far.
Review: NOT NEW DRIVES - Like others have stated, this is being sold as a new drive but is not. While there are no bad sectors and all tests came back fine, it's power on time is at 1,114 days. I bought the exact same drive for my NAS 3 years ago from desertcart and that one just barely has more power on time since loaded into my NAS March 2022 (1,121 days).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these oem drives?  in other words are they covered by a 5-year from western digital?**
A: The drive is imported from China and its warranty from WD is only valid in China. SabrePC confirmed to me that they honor the 5-year warranty themselves. Other resellers might have a different policy, so check with them first before purchasing.

**Q: Vendor:  is this a smr or a cmr drive?**
A: It is a CMR drive.

**Q: I see two drives, one is 2tb and the other is 12854gb, they don't add up to 16 tb.  i can only use 2tb, the others are unallocated and doesn't see it?**
A: Drive manufacturers count capacity in decimal numbers (KB = 1000 B, MB = 1000 KB, etc.), while computer operating systems typically count capacity in binary numbers (KB = 1024 B, MB = 1024 KB, etc.), so a "16TB" drive by manufacturer standards will be reported in most operating systems as 14.55 TB.

Your drive also seems to be partitioned into two.  You would need to repartition back into one partition and then reformat to see one 14.55TB drive (it will actually appear slightly smaller depending on your filesystem and OS, space is lost for record-keeping).

**Q: How many rpm?**
A: 7,200rpm

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable Product with Good Data Throughput Speeds
*by B***. on February 21, 2022*

Went in place quickly and easily. Formatted it to make sure all ok. Then put 10+ terabytes data on it immediately, and have adding to that every day! Reliable. Odd problems with MS Windows as when I first click on the drive in my computer, it takes a short while to properly list the files... This seems to be a windows problem and nothing to do with the drive...
