It is as good as a mechanical drive can get

Pros: This drive is truly enterprise grade. Really a 24/7 drive. It was priced right, arrived when promised, was properly packed so no travel damage could occur and Newegg used FEDEX, so they were willing to leave the package on my porch so I did not have to take off from work. Never ship anything with the post office.
Cons: It is pricy but worth it. I am installing it in my main desktop and retiring an older version of the same drive with over 16,000 hours on it.
Overall Review: After the wonderful experience of buying this drive from NEWEGG I just bought a second one. Definitely a no glitch experience.
Poorly Packed
I got the right tool at the right time but it was poorly packed. Instead of putting it in a box with a little bubble wrap, it was just put in a plastic bag and thrown on my porch. Without a box or packing the thin plastic bag ripped at all the corners and the drill got banged around some. Everything works but that is a skimpy way to ship anything, especially an expensive, battery operated tool.
