Pros: Very low power, very cost effective storage.

Cons: Slower read/writes (as you would expect with lower RPM's) which leads to the overall system feeling slower.

Overall Review: I bought it with the idea that I would set it up in a RAID 1 with a 1.5 TB 7200 RPM drive and get a performance increase, plus a little peace of mind knowing I had data redundancy. I was too busy looking at "1 TB for $50" to notice the lower RPMs, and the goal of a performance increase hasn't been realized. This is not the fault of the drive or newegg, just an important lesson I won't forget.

Pros: Lasted 5 years in a RAID with a 1 TB drive. Very reasonably priced (when it was purchased)

Cons: Shorter than expected product life

Overall Review: This is the first hard drive that's ever failed on me, but it's part of the first computer I built. So, it's pretty disappointing.
