Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Quiet, fast, cheap, and reliable.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: Ok for the price its actually pretty cheap. If your in the market for a complete comp upgrade go with a board that has SATA2 compatability. My Mobo does and i have to say that seek time on it averages about 4ms or less. Its also by far the quietest HD i have ever owned. (used to be big on maxtor.) I've been building gaming systems for around 13 yrs know and i have to say this is an excellent buy. By the way a good tip to remember with SATA cables. Spring for the clip-type cables so you dont have to worry about loose connections. You also get an audible "click" so you know there securly connected.

Features
Features	Cool - Cool operation results in the highest reliability, even in intensely hot environments such as digital video recorders. That's why these, the coolest on the market, are the drives of choice for the world's leading consumer electronics and PC manufacturers. Quiet - The technology that Tom's Hardware Guide called "very fast and nearly silent" is used throughout this family of drives. Our WhisperDrive technology minimizes noise to levels near the threshold of human hearing. To cut seek noise, SoftSeek technology streamlines read/write seeking algorithms, resulting in more efficient operation.
