MaxDigitalData 6TB 7200RPM 128MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5-inch Internal Hard Drive for NAS Network Storage (MD6000GSA12872NAS) - 3 Years Warranty (Renewed)

Cheaper than other Hard drives, this model still performs well and is a work horse. I use these for Surveillance, 16 channel NVRs and have had good results. Surveillance and NAS is extremely demanding work for a hard drive and these hang in there. I highly recommend these models before spending more money on other brands.

My use case for the two of these drives is in my secondary NAS (Synology DS420J); this NAS is utilized as part of my 3-2-1 backup to my primary NAS (DS920+). I did notice these run a tad warmer than the other two drives I have in the NAS (but as they aren't like for like, I won't post exact temps here). The drives are very quiet in use, Capacity and speed are as advertised, so no issue there. I've been running these for 10 months now (purchased Oct 24 and we're now at Aug 25) without issue; in fact, with my next paycheck, I'm going to order two more of these refurbs! Excellent Value - would highly recommend.

Great drives well warrantied. They backup what they sell.

I've found the MDDs to be of high quality and include a great warranty. I'll be adding a second NAS with 5 drive bays and adding two more to complete 4-drive NAS I'm currently use.

In Feb. 2022 I ordered two of these drives. One was dead on arrival, and was promptly replaced. Now, 18 months into a 3-year warranty -- and beyond Amazon's return period -- another is making noise when active and showing "caution" in Crystal DiskInfo. I have not been able to reach anyone at vendor DBSKY. Performance acceptable -- would not buy again.

Nice drives priced perfect for nas

So far so good it's fast for a hdd with the header file it formats at 5.5tb didn't get around to mounting it yet

Problems from the begining. I ordered two, one worked, the other wouldnt format and an audible clicking was heard when powered on. Unfortunately you get what you pay for. I thought this was some variant of Maxtor, but it appears it's independent.

Was a bit worried about these being refurbished drives with a high fail rate. I've installed it into onto my Unraid NAS and have ran the pre-clear feature, no issues were found. Fingers crossed it continues issue free. Best value 6TB drive without a doubt.

works as described, just has issues with power fade (tick of death) and looks like drive will need to be replaced before expected.

This is the best price per TB I've found. Perfect for game files and movies and music.
