Decent transfer speeds...

white Reviewed By: Prometheus on 7/20/2008
Rating + 4
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Decent transfer speeds of up to 30 mb/s. Under load it hits 40c tops and doesn't tend to affect my games that much. Decent HD for such a good price.
Cons: Can be loud at times. Cable's are large and annoying compared to SATA but if your looking for a cheap and effecient HD, this will do.
Other Thoughts: MSI P45 Neo-F, Quad Core 9770, 3GB DDR2-667 (5300) RAM, MSI RX3870 Radeon HD, LITEON SATA DVD-ROM, LITEON SATA DVD+RW, Seagate Barracuda 500GB SATA II (x2), Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA II, 3 1/2 Floppy, Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi (FATAL1TY Edition), 52 in 1 Media Reader.

drive knocking

white Reviewed By: Crich on 5/30/2008
Rating + 2
Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Drive seemed very fast. Running 2003 RC2 on it, good performance speed.
Cons: Drive started knocking/clunking after just a few weeks. Going to remove the drive and replace it. Not sure if NewEgg will RMA it due to the fact that it still works. I certainly wouldn't rely on this hard drive to maintain more than daily information without a backup.
Other Thoughts: Very disappointed.

Features
Features Cool - Cool operation results in the highest reliability, even in intensely hot environments such as digital video recorders. That's why these, the coolest on the market, are the drives of choice for the world's leading consumer electronics and PC manufacturers.
Quiet - The technology that Tom's Hardware Guide called "very fast and nearly silent" is used throughout this family of drives. Our WhisperDrive technology minimizes noise to levels near the threshold of human hearing. To cut seek noise, SoftSeek technology streamlines read/write seeking algorithms, resulting in more efficient operation.
