Pros: My goodness what a wonderful PSU. Silent. Did I mention silent. modular adapters can be removed, which allows airflow and general clutter to be improved. Also, it's silent.
Cons: Wow expensive, but worth it
Overall Review: I've always loved Seasonic PSUs, and this one does not dissapoint.
Pros: Good price, nice transfer speeds.
Cons: 1/4 drives that I bought was DOA. Would actually drop out during use despite testing with 3 SATA controllers, 3 SATA cables, 3 different power connectors on separate rails. 25% failure rate on my purchases seems high. Especially since Newegg won't reimburse shipping charges on defective merchandise.
Pros: Quiet, multiple options for voltages and therefore decibel level
Cons: Poor documentation to indicate which adapters are which. It comes with a 5v and 7v adapter, and runs 12v without adapter. However, I had to find this out on line.
Pros: Size, Price, Speed are all what is expected. The recent drives being shipped from Newegg are the new series whihc doesn't seem to suffer from the Firmware fiasco that is plaguing Seagate right now from the 7200.11 series.
Cons: Seagate, amidst the firmware fisco, cut the warranty from 5 years to 3 years as of January 2009.
Overall Review: Still a wonderful drive, and I have a number of them. I'm still a fan of seagates, but that said I haven't had any drive failurs recently from them.
Pros: Very nice drive. No problems so far. Not sure yet if the 32mb cache will really make that much difference, but it;s not much more expensive than a 16mb model. I've added 2 of these to my home file server so far, and a quick 2TB isn't too shabby for the cost and the fact that I now have extra room in the case.
Cons: none so far
Overall Review: The cost is not that much more than the 750GB drives, and in my opinion worth while, though other's opinions may differ.
Comments: no problems so far. What can I say, it's VALUE RAM. I'm not expecting the world out of this, but it is fine for non-overclocked systems. On the plus side, this stuff is rated at CAS2.5 when comparable priced models are Cas3. SO, kudos.
