Hey guys,
Was looking for new "big" hard drives and came across some of these on eBay for $150, which is a lot better of a deal than any of the brand-name drives, even used. I was hesitant at first because there's virtually no information out there about these drives whatsoever - Google searching the model number only turns up links to buy them and one obscure forum talking about 2TB versions and not 6.
Just for kicks, I sent an email to GoHardDrive asking if they knew what these drives were based on. Got a reply from them, see below:
So, according to the people selling them, they're basically rebadged WD Red drives. The regular WD Red say IntelliPower, but it's totally possible they're around 5700RPM in actuality.
I'm going to buy a few of these, and I'll be happy to post some more information once I have them in my hands.
Edit:
Here's the eBay link to GoHardDrive:
6TB 64MB Cache 5700RPM SATA III 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Desktop Hard Drive - FREE SHIPPING
And I put in an offer on these - same drive, just different seller.
New (6000GB) 6TB 5700RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive -FREE SHIPPING
