Can't Complain So Far

Pros: Upgraded from a 1TB and really like the extra space. Easy installation with Seagate DiscWizard v13. Hard drive was recognized at 2.72TB and my 1TB drive was copied over in no time. It was surprisingly seamless upgrade with my home network.

Cons: A bit high price, but then I'm getting 3TB of storage.

Overall Review: Not sure if the warranty is 3 or 5 years. I've seen both. Will have to check the Seagate site. A little concerned on performance from the reviews I've read. I hope this drive keeps on spinning and the performance is adequate.

Pros: Once drivers were available, the setup for XP went smoothly. Windows 7 32 and 64-bit driver available. http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-006120.htm

Cons: No driver disk.

Overall Review: Thanks to Professor Z for finding the drivers. Was frustrating for a retail version not to include drivers. Also, Newegg should post the model Intel® Gigabit and PRO/1000 Network Adapters.
