Pros: For the price, it's great. It stores all my Steam games and CODWAW. Fast response time.

Cons: It should be 320Gb for the price, but hey, I'm not a salesman.

Pros: Worked great during operation

Good HD.

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Great price, free shipping and Western Digital's warranty and RMA service is excellent. Its not the fastest nor is it the biggest hard drive but when you RAID a few of these, the performance is noticeable and the money spent isn't. It truly is a redundant array of INEXPENSIVE disks.

Cons: I was going to give it four eggs because the same day I got this drive it and my other Western Digital HDD stopped working after I tried RAID for the first time. I think a chip on the board of the HDDs probably fried and it was more than likely my fault.

Other Thoughts: I have always purchased Western Digital hard drives and I'll never buy a different brand.
