The Deskstar 7K2000 hard drive delivers a colossal two terabytes of storage capacity and 7200 RPM performance in a standard 3.5-inch form factor. Now in its fourth-generation, the 7K2000 is based on a robust mechanical design that continues to set the industry standard for quality and reliability. Through a patented ramp load/unload design, data heads are moved to a ramp away from the disk where they rest during periods of inactivity. This greatly minimizes the risk of shock damage by eliminating direct contact between the heads and disks, reducing wear and heat while improving overall drive reliability and power efficiency. The Deskstar 7K2000 also incorporates Thermal Fly-Height Control (TFC) technology which uses an integrated heating element to precisely maintain a constant fly-height throughout read and write operations to enhance overall data integrity, drive performance and reliability.

Best 2 TB disk among those reasonably priced
Reviewed by Alex. Review Posted 07/01/2010
We've bought over 30 of these so far, and impressions much better than WD Green 2 TBs and Seagate 2 TBs: Hitachi's disk is much faster (thanks to real 7200 RPM).
Excellent price also - it was about time for Hitachi to come to market, and once they did they certainly delivered a very good product.
We are planning to buy a lot more of 2 TB shortly and they are going to be these.

Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 26/11/2009
Bought two of these to make a large Raid 0 install replacing 8 seperate drives on an Intel ICH9R drive.
Windows cannot boot from partitions larger than 2TB so I made two arrays with the Intel Matrix software and boot from a small 500GB volume and the rest is a GPT partitioned array giving about 3.25TB.
Drives arrived well packed and have been working out of the box for 5 days now.
They do get a bit warm out of the case in use so I recommend active cooling. I personally don't find them very noisy but seek noise is audible outside of the case over the drone of the fans.
Otherwise very pleased with them.

Does the job

I have to of these in RAID 1 on an ICH9R and they work perfectly. A bit noisy when really pushed but otherwise fine. Performance is better than the 500GB Samsungs that they replaced. Packaging could have been a bit better. It was one of those inflatable bag types and one of the drives wasnt fully protected. Use foam dabs......
