Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: -Is a Seagate product
-Fast seek speeds for what it is
-IDE for older systems(only reason to buy this drive)
-Quiet, loaded XP up just fine with no errors

Cons: Not available in most retail stores

Other Thoughts: I picked this drive to bring an old Dell Dimension 1.8GHZ back into service for my wife to use as a word processor/web surfer/music player after it died on my father and he was going to throw it out. $55 shipped and I have a computer that works perfectly and is more than enough for word, firefox and itunes. XP service pack 3 is running like a top as well.
