Pros: Price was the only pro.

Cons: Like other people have said it fails after using it for awhile. Mine probably had a month of actual use out of 10 months and failed. The check disk clearly showed a bad drive and started an RMA. After seeing the problems other people have had with returned drives I am going back to WD because nothing is more aggravating than having to install your operating system and programs because the drives are unreliable. I also did not see any real improvement in gaming speed with this drive.

Overall Review: I would not recommend this drive it is unreliable as other people have reported. I am going to replace this drive with a WD data center drive which are known for reliability. Seagate you have done a bad job with this drive and have lost a long time customer of Seagate drives.
