5 out of 5 eggsDoing well.

Pros: Quiet. Has been operating continuously since I received it - using it as a replacement drive in an older netbook, which is functioning as a home server (storage, backup, and other minor services). It's been a champ.

Cons: None.

1 out of 5 eggsWD is Horrible

Pros: This was a greatly priced drive.

Cons: I bought this for a customers computer and it worked great for 4 months then it failed no warning, no chance to back up just dead. WD has a messed up RMA system where you have to pay for postage to return your drive that failed within 4 months. WD need's to try and make customers happy by supplying a quality product and not charging you to send back their defective product.

1 out of 5 eggsNot good long run

Pros: Great for short term use

Cons: I have had 3 different brand laptops with this Blue HD and within 1.5 years they have all died, not slow death but instant death, never to return.

Other Thoughts: Buy something other than the Scorpio Blue
