Pros: Worked as any HDD should initially

Cons: I had this HDD configured as my data drive (OS installed on another drive) and it failed unexpectedly after 10 months. It suddenly stopped showing up as connected to the computer in Linux and would freeze Windows up if I tried to browse its contents. I would not recommend you buy this hard drive. It has serious reliability issues. You cannot trust putting your data on it with its high failure rate.

Overall Review: Look the the reviews. 25% 1-star. Now that doesn't mean 25% of the HDD's fail but it should still tell you something.
