got one thks …. the 4 tb has the extra functions that the 3 tb doesn’t so nice deal.
Hmm I've been hung up on the idea of buying a DS918+ for the last couple of weeks so this is pretty tempting!
Having just bought one I can recommend.
Does anyone tech savvy know if it'll work inside one of these? https://sites.fas.harvard.edu/~phys191r/Bench_Notes/optiplex…
I ordered one of these recently…

Thanks in advance.
please anyone?
This https://sites.fas.harvard.edu/~phys191r/Bench_Notes/optiplex… suggest that there is only one 3.5" drive bay (unless you remove the optical drive and fit an adaptor bay) so you'd have to replace the existing 320Gb drive with this rather than adding it as an additional storage drive. Given it is likely a slower drive, it may not be wise. Look for an external storage drive instead?
Thanks very much :) Greatly appreciated.
I wish there was another HP Microserver deal to put this drive to some real work..
I was like you Until I get a P222 RAID controller and Silverstone MINISAS 4-bay case.
Or just use some kind of cheaper/free software RAID?
Havent seen one of those in almost 2 years? The latest gen ones aren't cheap anymore I don't think. People also go for a NAS too for convenience I suppose
At the cost of price and flexibility though
So I have one of my NAS units with a couple of ST4000VN000s in it, anyone know if ST4000VN008 can be used to extend the array now that ST4000VN000 is discontinued?
Different hardware model, so depends on the RAID system
RAID doesn’t need identical models. You shouldn’t see any problem.
If you buy one, please ask them to package it properly.
Mine arrived DOA with practically no protection and you could see where the internal box had bounced around inside of the bigger box during the journey….
Also they won't replace in my experience, just refund after receiving the drive back.
Jesus that sucks, you would think if a Business is selling Hdd's online and shipping at least take 30 seconds to bubble wrap it !!
mine arrived in a plastic bag
I got 3 from last deal and one was dead after 2 hours runtime. It’s properly wrapped though.
Who are they using to deliver them ?
If it's Australia post I won't bother . I often hear parcels getting "Airmailed" over my front porch when I'm sitting in my lounge .With Aus Post you are at the mercy of contractors for parcel delivery a lot of the time. I have had a great run with contractors who have never faked a you weren't home delivery card and take care with my parcels.
On the other hand my drives from this supplier were lodged as picked up but never left Port Melbourne and weeks later the company resent without question (suspiciously not querying the tracking & Aus Post says the paperwork dosen't add up) and they arrived rapped twice in bubble wrap with a single piece between in a satchel. They are working so far. Their ebay rating is reasonable but their direct selling reputation is the worst I have seen online. Dozens of 1 star ratings for non-delivery etc. I probably won't risk buying from them again although their sales prices are often very good.
Just my own 2 cents worth.
Same here, bought 6 of these in October, packing was ridiculously bad. I've actually taken pics - will put them up for all to see.
Yep they are horrid at packaging and not worth the risk for HDD. Bought two last year, plus an ssd. The hard drives were placed directly on top of the other with an ssd on top. One layer of super thin bubble wrap and the tiny tight fitting cardboard box was the only "protection". It was truly horrifying.
I was going to grab this untill I read this, lift your game W1
Anybody know if this will work in a HP N40L?
I see that the ST4000VN000 does but not sure about the ST4000VN008?
I have a HP ProLiant N40L MicroServer NAS 658553-371. I did not see any issues with other 4TB Hard drives I put into it. ST4000DM000
Reference for reliability: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-failure-rates-q3-2…
No ST4000VN008 tho…
whoa…
i'll stick to my WDC reds :)WD RED NAS are probably the best for personal use. Some ST models seem to have a very high failure rate.
Hmmmmmm getting a Synology 216j for Christmas, Should I buy a couple of these?
Can these work in a normal desktop PC or NAS only?
They will work in a normal PC but they are not quick hard-drives - only spinning at 5900rpm I guess to prolong their life if they are in a hard working NAS. Desktop drives are normally 7200rpm….although the “green” HDDs spin slowly too.
oh ok cheers, so there arent any more 5400rpm drives anymore or is that just for 2.5" laptop ones if not ssd?
I think you will find the rotational speed varies with brands - 5400 seems to be the slowest maximum. As garage sale says below - also to save power but in most NAS storage, lightning fast transfers are not as important as they are in a desktop, especially when you are processing video or other very large files.
idea of 5900 rpm is to save power, which actually appeals to me …. busy stuff is on the SSD already ….
bigger issue is head parking intervals ….. used to kill green drives if used to store torrents as they parked heads to save power …. NAS green drives have longer intervals before parking heads.
The main difference between drives marketed for NAS and normal drives is the firmware: in fact it wasn't uncommon for drives to let you switch modes before the manufacturers realised they could charge a premium for NAS drives.
The main difference is in how they handle errors. A desktop drive might retry a read multiple times to try and recover from an error, which gives a lower apparent error rate but more variable performance. The NAS drives will give up sooner and report the error, on the assumption that the data may exist on another drive, and it might be able to start mitigating the failure sooner.
So it's not likely to make much of a difference until (or if) the drive starts failing.
