Fast & quiet

Very fast drive with the 32 MB of cache. Beats my 16 MB cache 74 GB Raptor in all fields except random access, and it's not noticeable. It's a nice boot drive for sure.

TINY jumper set to SATA 150 by default - make sure to remove the jumper to SATA 300.

As mentioned above, the unit comes from the factory with this tiny little jumper that you need a needle to remove it. This jumper limits the drive to SATA I. Once you remove the jumper, you unleash the drive's full potential and it flies! Highly recommended.

Unreliable - Big Let Down

Price

I have now RMA'd all 5 of my "Enterprise Class" Drives. Out of the RMA'd drives 2 have gone out. I have always been a dedicated M@xt0r and Seagate fan but I took the WD plunge 9 months ago and those drives have been rockn'.

Seagate, please get it right the first time, this is not your first hard drive you've built that has issues, hint hint the TB series drives. I have paid enough in shipping to have purchased 1 1/2 hard drives.
