Pros: Cheap

Cons: Hard to describe in words.

Overall Review: 3 out of 6 were DOA, the 4th just died after being in service for two weeks. I am at a loss for words.

No problem here!

Unacceptable reliability

Pros: Inexpensive, lot of space

Cons: My experience is that these drives have terrible reliability. I have had 2 out of 4 fail in a month. One was DOA and the other failed before I had even had a chance to write any data to it! Think twice before buying...
