Pros: I tested this drive 6 times both as OS drive and storage drive. Ave read 106-108 MB/s, access time 14.2ms. Faster than Seagate 7200.12 1TB.

Cons: It's very loud. You can hear hard drive noise from 10 feet away. In comparison, WD blue and green drives are virtually silent - you can't hear then 2 feet away.

Pros: lasted a year and still going

Cons: 1. burned rice at bottom 2. lip not detachable for cleaning 3. water steams out

Overall Review: I have used many rice cookers and this is one of the worst. The $15 small cooker U used before is better than this one.

Pros: boils water fast, keeps it hot.

Cons: broke after 5 months use. reliability is not good.
