## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the ultrstar 8tb drive warrantied by western digital and for how long?**
A: Yes and no.  Technically they have a five year warranty, but the drive you receive from a marketplace seller may be OEM or gray market, and not eligible for WD warranty, only reseller warranty.

**Q: Does the 14tb drive have the power disable feature?**
A: This is advertised as the WUH721414ALE6L4 which does NOT have the power disable.   *HOWEVER*   I ordered 6 of these and they are all the 604 meaning they DO have power disable.   I had to cut a wire on my power connectors (closest to the L shape) to use these drives. 

**NOT AS ADVERTISED**

**Q: Can wd ultrastar be used in thinkstation. i heard hgst enterprise drive is incompatible for home desktop, and need to fix the 3.3v pin problem**
A: 3.3v pin problem can be fixed by using a Molex-to-SATA power adapter, here: https://smile.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-3-Pack-Molex-Power/dp/B00STNUB04/ref=sr_1_3?crid=345P4SZAA2LNW&keywords=molex+to+sata&qid=1562983596&s=gateway&sprefix=molex+t%2Caps%2C150&sr=8-3  But not all Ultrastar have that feature.  Look at the model number.  If the next-to-last character is L, you're fine without an adapter; if it's 0, you'll need one.  However, just because you can make the drive work in a desktop doesn't make it the best choice for that application.  These are datacenter devices, optimized for datacenter operation, and somewhat noisier than desktop drives.

If you do still want this particular drive, I wouldn't buy it from Amazon.  All the buying options are through marketplace sellers, and you're likely to get an OEM or gray-market drive with no guarantee of a specific model number and no WD warranty (you have to contact the reseller if you have a warranty issue).  B&H sells the same drive in sealed retail packaging at competitive prices (slightly lower at the time of this writing).

**Q: pmr ?  does it use it ??**
A: What is pmr and what are you referring to uses it?
