You might have seen my reviews above where I could not get the drives to be detected either in the bios or OS at their full capacity. I think I owe Newegg an apology. They don't have a bad batch of drives. I have a motherboard (Gigabyte M61P-S3) with a buggy bios. Here's what happened. The bios on my mobo has a "feature" for backup where it sets aside some space on the drive using the hpa. Once set, the drive will only report it's size as the size that is set. Both the bios and os will only see this. The problem was that my buggy bios was setting aside too much space (1tb) instead of the small amount it's supposed to. Since this was the first machine I put the drives in and the change the mobo makes to the drive sticks, any other machine I'd put it into after would ... MoreYou might have seen my reviews above where I could not get the drives to be detected either in the bios or OS at their full capacity.

To fix this I used the hdparm program under linux to set the max sectors (and make the change permanent). Before last night, I had no idea that there was such a thing as HPA. So, sorry Newegg

Will be buying 24 for these for a home NAS (Yes, complete overkill for a home NAS). I bought two of these and just barely got them running since yesterday. So far they've survived two extended tests using Western Digital's Lifeguard testing utility. I will let them idle for a week and run another extended test before committing them to the server. It runs inside of 24 bay Super Micro Chassis.

Commodity enterprise drive with SAS interface. Very reliable with respectable performance. I have about two dozen of these drives in a number of Dell servers in four and eight drive RAID arrays. They run continuously for years.
Great drive. Has been running in my server for the past six or so months without issue. Just make sure you really need the SAS version and aren't looking for the SATA version.
Bought several of these 4TB drives for a 12-bay NAS using RAIDZ2. Fantastic price, drives function flawlessly. Ran SMART checks and have been running heavy write/read operations, and no issues. Will end up buying many more. Highly recommended for anyone who wants cheap bulk storage (redundant NAS or server). These are refurbished, so make sure to use them with adequate redundancy (i.e. 2 drives parity for each array).
I'm appalled at the quality of these devices. I was very surprised to see that they are *way* past warranty with Western Digital. Regardless of when you purchased them, they only warranty them so long past the manufacture date and this seller is selling these as New. For most of us, this implies a manufacturer warranty will have your back. I have yet to see if I can resolve the problem so stay tuned.
I bought this to use in a 2007 iMac. It detected and worked fine for a while, but the system was experiencing strange problems. Programs crashing, programs getting corrupted and needing to be reinstalled. I decided to wipe the system and did a 3x erase and verify on the hard drive using system rescue CD. HD passed the erase and verify no problem. After the reinstall, I started having the same weird problems again. So I moved the HD to a Mac Pro tower to see if it was the iMac or the HD. I did a fresh install and the problems persist, now on the new machine. So I am reasonably certain there is something strange going on with this HD, perhaps its just a strange compatibility problem with Macs. Not sure how I can conclusively prove the drive is failing to get it ... MoreI bought this to use in a 2007 iMac.

So I am reasonably certain there is something strange going on with this HD, perhaps its just a strange compatibility problem with Macs. Not sure how I can conclusively prove the drive is failing to get it exchange, seeing as how it formats and verifies properly. All I know is that I seem to be getting random file corruption while using it.
The drive itself is terrific. Although I didn't benchmark it, it positively screams with ~280MB/sec reads in RAID1 when paired with an older 3TB RE on a hardware controller. It would be probably be faster with a matching 4TB drive. The construction looks very good. It is hefty and very solidly built. Note that this is an SAS drive, and requires the appropriate adapter and cables. I purchased this drive from Home Essentials Direct directly, and it was a factory sealed OEM, with full warranty. I registered the drive on the WD site and verified five years of coverage from the purchase date.
Worked as expected. This was a replacement for a failing drive. Removed the bad drive and installed the new one into a RAID. RAID system immediately began rebuilding and completed with no problems.
