Reliability

Reviewed By: WilliamMunny on 7/16/2008

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: more than 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I've had two running in RAID 0 for just about 2yrs without a problem. Worked straight out the bubble wrap w/ no need for fancy packaging.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I'm still wondering if two of these in RAID 0 is faster than the 10k Raptor I just put in my most recent build. Price is comparable when you consider the need to buy two HDD's vs. one.

Don't expect more than two years

Reviewed By: TH on 7/12/2008

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: more than 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Affordable, fast, quiet

Cons: Failed miserably after only two years. MTBF ratings are useless.

Other Thoughts: I'm an idiot for not backing up data more often. Replacing it with two 250GB Seagates running RAID 1. My PSU (Antec Smartpower 450) failed first, so I'm not sure if it caused the HD failure, or contributed to it, but either way I'm buying a lot of PC parts these days.
