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

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: cheap. fast and relatively quiet.

Cons: I have been using WD Caviar model for a long time, this time also decided not to change my habits and bought this HDD for my old home pc. Enjoyed it for 2 months after that it started by not turning on sometimes. Then it went dead. Guess I should have paid some more and get a different brand.
