Big Storage Paves the Way for New Platforms

The Deskstar 7K3000 is designed to allow manufacturers to leverage the benefits of the latest components and operating systems to deliver high-performance, high-capacity, power-efficient systems.

I purchased a couple of these in January 2011 for my NAS RAID and one has already failed six months later. I tried to RMA this on Hitachi's website but the site doesn't recognize the serial. Weird.
I'm following up with the manufacturer directly about this but just wanted to point it out. Day-to-day operation this drive is fast and great. I'm currently using it in a Synology NAS.
