Showing my ignorance, Is HSGT western Digital?
These are hitachi drives.. hitachi was sold.. part to WD and part to Toshiba.. but they still sell drives under both their own name as well as Toshiba..
So the website now shows.. a wd company. http://www.hgst.com/
But the drives are Hitachi (and originally IBM, Ultrastar).
I disagree with Joe, not that these drives are not excellent.. I am sure they are.. and I am sure the heat is not the big issue it was to the drive.. but the heat will kill the TC stone dead.
Nor will the speed of 7200 rpm drives be of any use.. the TC is processor bound and so a green drive is the best still for them.
If you store files on the TC then as with any other file storage it must be backed up.. having the best drive in the world is still not a backup. Never ever leave files on a single point of failure.. because one day it will fail for sure. And the TC is not a NAS.. it has no means by which it can back itself up.. nor can TM backup a network drive.. so you will need a USB drive of equal size somewhere in the network.. or real file server/NAS somewhere to backup to, plus software that can handle it running on a computer.
I have looked at the start current of the 4TB ultrastar before.

2A on 12v and 1.2A on 5v exceeds the spec of the TC power supply.
It is rated 12v 1A and 4.3A 5V
Not that the power supply will fail, it will simply dip the voltage but it can lead to long term supply failure or issues.
