Pros: Cheap, good price.

Cons: Not very durable

Overall Review: Bought this drive, 10/24/14. Got it in about 3-4 days. Replaced old worn out drive (a WD Blue,had a lot of bad sectors, lasted about 5 years). Got it all up and running. No issues until about ~ 8 months later, upon a routine reboot it wouldn't boot into windows 8, wouldn't be recognized in the bios, and started making a constant clicking sound. Working on finding a place to repair and get my data off of it. I would not recommend buying this unless you have a solid backup routine in place, or you simply aren't going to be storing any valuable information..
