Pros: It was cheap and spacious.

Cons: I bought this in 07/1/11, it died in 7/11/11. Exactly 1 year and 10 days later... Ubuntu started posting slow startup times... I remember reading that slow spinups were a feature to the EcoGreen Drives. I was wrong. It died about 2 weeks after the SMART messages. I'm pretty careful with my hardware, making sure it stays cool, and never handling it with my bare hands without a static wristwrap. This is the first time a drive has failed on me after 1 year. A lot of people are reporting failures after a year. There's obviously a design flaw with these HD's. Be warned!

Overall Review: I'll spend a couple bucks more for reliability's sake and do more research next time. What a waste of $ in this day and age. I still have drives that have lasted through 2 PC builds (+9 years). This one died after some minor archiving.
