Pros: Storage capacity, cache, price.

Cons: I purchased 2 of these 1TB drives and installed them at the same time. One worked fine, the other had a manufacturing defect (capacitor) at 1st power up. Seagate would not replace it due to the burnt PCB. Newegg came to the rescue and greatly helped with the situation. Excellent Newegg customer support. 2 of these drives are now working great in a mirrored RAID array.
