Has been a great drive

Reviewed By: rapid1 on 10/31/2009

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

Pros: I bought 2 of these drives, and they have been on 2 desktops for over a year. I am getting new drives and was considering buying four more of these to upgrade both desktops to a raid 5 setup.

Cons: None that I have found period in the hardware. The only thing I could say was negative is there size. I will not rate down though for this as I new the size from day one.

Other Thoughts: I for mat and manage my drives very actively on all my PC's. Therefore; the size has not really been a big issue. I also have a storage drive on both of the systems these drives run on. However they are different in size so I cannot set them up for raid. I am debating buying more but it seems pointless as a 750 GB WD Black is 10 dollars more. These drives have worked great for more than one year it might even be 2 I don't remember exactly when I bought them, other than the fact it was well over a year ago.

Not such of a good buy

Reviewed By: Brittany495 on 7/28/2009

Tech Level: average - Ownership: less than 1 day

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Nothing good to say about this product but at least newegg is refunding me a new one.

Cons: Turns out the hard drive I got was a bad one. I bought all my computer peices from newegg and everything worked besides this hard drive. I was so excited to finally get a new computer too. Ehhh still waiting for a new one to come in. I hope the new one will work and last a long time.

Other Thoughts: I suggest you buy a different hard drive and not this one.
