Most Favorable Review

This is a great card

Pros: Very stable, played all games I ran with it, not noisy when idle. If the fan is left to b e autocontrolled, it can run a little noisy when gaming, but with the sound coming from my speakers it's not a problem. Great colling, the hot air is drown out of the case.

Cons: None

Good drive but be careful

Pros: Fast, low noise, capacity, price per MB

Cons: Not relaiable. I bought 3 drives, 2 with CC3G firmware and one later with CC1H. The last one still workes well. The first 2 drives didn't fail completely, but went from about 100Mbps write/read to exactly 1.6Mbps write/read. I still could copy data from the drives so I didn't loose any data. The 2 bad drives were replaced under Seagate warranty, which was pretty straghtforward. Thhe replacement drives arrived with CC1H and they still work fine. So far CC1H was good for me. CC3G failed miserably :)

Great drive

Pros: High capacity, quite, fast for 5400RPM

Cons: None

Overall Review: Why would people take eggs for the drive being 12.5mm is bejond me. The specs say 12.5mm and it's in fact 12.5mm. What is the problem!!! It fits perfectly into my Sony Viao laptop by the way. Measure your HDD rack before buying, that's all.
