Pros: Cheap, lots of space, very respectable performance

Cons: One of eight DOA; one other runs 5º C hotter than the other 6 no matter which slot I put it in. Seagates RMA process is easy.

Overall Review: Not sure if I will buy these again. I might, but do not consider them as reliable as some other options available at a similar or slightly higher price.

So far very happy
