Review: Stating what might not be obvious... - Firstly, my drive was a new drive (as confirmed with SMART) and it is running great. I did a manufacturer serial number check and it did list 2 years available BUT per Hitachi's policies, that number means nothing. NOTE WELL: THIS IS WHAT desertcart LISTS AS THE WARRANTY FOR THIS PRODUCT! "Important Information Seller Warranty Description One year Seller warranty" Therefore, one should NOT be deducting for the product as listed because the warranty is not what you hoped or desired. Do NOT buy this drive expecting a warranty other than what is stated - a one year warranty from the seller, NOT the manufacturer. I ordered my drive from OceanSide. It came well packed in a sealed anti-static bag caged in foam in a box surrounded by bubble wrap in an desertcart box. I ordered the drive 30 minutes before the overnight shipping deadline and received it the next morning by 10AM. I bought this drive knowing the risk that having a "One year Seller warranty" entails. This item is substantially less expensive than a new retail or true OEM version with a manufacturer warranty. Again, do NOT buy this drive if you want to be ensured the manufacturer will support it because that is YOUR RISK knowing that desertcart states "One year Seller warranty". If you want a great drive at a great price and don't mind the seller warranty, then THIS DRIVE IS FOR YOU.
Review: Something not right here. - I ordered 6 of these using desertcart prime. They were sold by Oceanside Store. I installed them in my QNAP TS-870 Pro. Seemed to be working as expected. I was getting a little low on storage space, so I ordered another. This one was via desertcart prime from Stellar Trading. It showed in a box wrapped in bubble wrap. The plastic wrapper that the hard drive was in was previously opened...seal cut open and no desiccant in the wrapper. When I read the label on the hard drive itself...it was a 4 TB Seagate Barracuda drive. ST 4000DM00. PN: 1F22168-568. Not what I ordered. I was not able to get the return processed online. I spoke with an agent from desertcart and got the return and shipping label no problem. The agent said they would be checking into what was going on. Then I read some of the bad reviews here on desertcart and realized that many have complained about the issue of these being torn out of external drive cases and sold as new with no warranty. I did not read where anyone had received a different drive though. That got me thinking about the other 6 drives I just installed. So, I went to the HGST website and went to verify warrant eligibility. All 6 drives serial numbers are "invalid serial". Toshiba tech support is closed now. I will have to call tomorrow to find out what is going on. I have a strong suspicion that these 6 drives have no warranty. I will follow up here soon. I just got off the phone with HGST. All 6 serial numbers from the drives I bought were from external hard drive enclosures. He said there is no warranty since they were removed from an external case. I thought the sealed bag with the desiccant meant it was new. He said it is easy to get the equipment to seal up a hard drive in a bag. desertcarts web site shows these as new with a 3 year warranty...that is not the case. HGST Deskstar 3.5-Inch 4TB 7200 RPM SATA III 6Gbps 64MB Cache Internal Hard Drive (0F14681) (HDS724040ALE640) They are going back. I want new with a 3 year warranty. Not looking forward to transferring 15 TB of data to new drives again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Hard Drive, runs fast and smooth
*by M***E on July 18, 2014*

Comes as an OEM HDD so no cables which I didn't need anyways. Running on my ASUS mobo for almost a year and no problems. I own a HGST Deskstar 3TB for 2 years now and was extremely pleased with its performance so I purchased the 4TB version. Fast and smooth performance, will purchase again.
