Comments about Hitachi 2TB 5K3000 Deskstar 3.5" SATA III Internal Hard Disk Drive:
Using for video post production archiving in a 5 bay RAID Level 10. They installed easily using the RAID manufacturers tools. Installed on suite with Windows 7 and Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5. Testing by editing Sony EX1 1080P video files and importing and exporting about 1TB video with no glitches. Toward the end of the import the RAID fan kicks on high. Using USB 3.0 it was fast but I did not time it. After a few weeks, I'm happy. 3 year warranty from date of purchase if you keep your B&H receipt.
