The second model(WUH721414ALE6L1) is the one WITHOUT the feature of power disable(3rd pin in SATA). In some motherboard and external enclosure, the drive might not start if the drive have power disable 3pin feature(the first model). The fix is quick but if you prefer fewer surprises(like drive unable to power on), you might want to take the second model(WUH721414ALE6L1).

If you're gonna rag on the drives, at least get your info right. Hitachi's were never DeathStars. You're thinking of the old IBM DeskStars which were, specifically, 75GB drives. In the wake of that disaster, IBM sold their disk business off to Hitachi, which never experienced the exploding platter issue that the "deathstars" were notorious for. Regardless, these aren't even Deskstar drives, they are enterprise grade Ultrastar drives. And in addition, that was over 20 years ago, get over it.

The Power Disable feature isn't the only difference. The WUH721414ALE6L1 is also a Self-Encrypting Drive (SED), not that most people will care.



I can't say for certain but I don't think many USB docks supply 3.3V, so it's unlikely to be a problem. I'd be more concerned about whether an adapter of that age will support this drive. I've seen some SATA-USB bridges that don't play well with these big drives.



I'm only half joking when I say, if you don't know the answers to these questions, you shouldn't be fooling with RAID and if you do know the answers, you'll know better than to mess with it. My more serious answer is, RAID isn't something that should be undertaken lightly. There can be serious drawbacks that are not always obvious. You should do some serious research before messing with it.



The E6L1.



This has been answered multiple times already.

WUH721414ALE6L1 - Self-Encrypting Drive and does NOT have the Power Disable feature (thus more likely to be compatible).

WUH721414ALE604 - Base model (no encryption) and DOES have the Power Disable feature.

Any feedback? Seems like a decent deal. How does it compare to some of the seagate offerings from same vendor?

Their deals are posted here quite often and get overall good reviews. Now its up to you to determine what your data is worth when putting it on recertified drives. May last, may not, but not worth the risk TO ME.

*EDIT* I guess with its included two-year warranty its not too much of a risk especially if put into a NAS or multi-bay setup with RAID redundancy.

Yes, no media is safe even with most stable enterprise grade grand new HDD or SLC NVME. For data safety, just stick with 1-2-3 rule or at least 1-2 rule.

I think it is still possible to check it with tools like smartmontools. It was awhile back but I was able to determine that my refurbished hdd had at least 18k power on hours.

Edit: Not this particular WD hdd. It was a HGST 4TB hdd I bought in 2017.

SPD drives are wiped by manufacturer ("refurbished") so you won't see the history of these drives before that.

I bought a 14TB a year or 2 ago. I will buy again once this one fills up. I got the one without the on/off feature so I didn't have any issues.

I probably should be more specific. I bought a HGST 4TB hdd few years ago, and most of the basic tools showed close to 0 power on hours on the hdd. However, after doing a quick test with smartmontools, it actually displayed the old power on hours as well as the new power on hours.

My guess is that they only reset the data that is the easiest to access. So, you may be able to figure out more information if you dig deeper.

Obviously, I don't know whether it still work for this particular hdd. If you want to test it out, you can Google how to use smartmontools to test your hdd. Then you can see whether they show you those hidden information.

Edit: This was a post I made long time ago: https://slickdeals.net/e/9142463-4tb-hgst-megascale-dc-4000-b-hms5c4040ale640-coolspin-internal-hard-drive-110-newegg?p=90090163#post90090163

You can see from the pic that the hdd actually had 25k hours but then reset to 28 hours

Bad idea to use this instead of a WD Purple for cams? I know I ain't the type of drive most ppl use but it will work right? I got a prop where I need 24/7 cams.
