The DT01ACA series is Toshiba's first 3.5-inch hard drive for use in power-friendly consumer and commercial desktop computers. The 7,200 RPM drive series is engineered for high performance and low power for cooler operation.
The DT01ACA Desktop HDDs feature 1 terabyte-per-platter technology in capacities ranging from 500GB to 3TB* (1, 2 or 3 platters). With 64MB cache buffer (1.5TB, 2TB, and 3TB models) the DT01ACA drives are designed for faster data processing.
The 3.5-inch DT01ACA drives include Advanced Sector Format technology, which utilizes the industry standard 4K byte-per-sector configuration and improved error-correcting code functionality to enhance data integrity while making more efficient use of the storage surface area.

"This is one fast drive! It runs about 20MB/sec faster than the Hitachi 4TB 7K4000, which is around 12% faster. As hard drives go, that’s a very significant advance in less than a year..."

Got it in sale at 119.00 $. Very happy with my purchased.
I have tested the HD with appropriate software because of some bad review elsewhere, but found nothing bad. I expect good longevity for this HD. Use it for backup and X-Plane setup.

I have a pair of these in my media server in RAID Mirror. I have not done a speed test cause the network cards / switch are the limiting factor. So far these Hitachi drives are doing okay, but

I am not seeing anything concerning in logs - such as the relocations with Seagates or the head parking issues with WD Greens. All my Seagates and WD greens(wdidle3 to remove head parking) are still working, but I wasn't totally filled with confidence.
Despite everything, if your drives pass on errors then you are scrooged. So use: Hitachi Drive Fitness Test is free hard drive diagnostic software available for use on most drives available today.

This is a "rebranded" Hitachi 7K3000, supposedly a 3 platter drive. Good price, good specs. Not as fast as some of its competitors, but it's a good compromise between speed, price, and warranty--best overall of all the current 3 TB drives imo, unless you want to spend nearly double for a Black.
This is a Hitachi drive with a Toshiba sticker. Hitachi have a good history for reliability. I hope the first one I received DOA was an exception.

Great hard drive used in raid configuration. I have owned this hard drive before and have not had any problems. Will be purchasing similar hard drive when I need additional storage space. Highly recommended for a file server.
