Pros: After seeing benchmarks at StorageReview.com, we purchased 2 of these for our 750 GB RAID5 at the office several months ago. Now it's time to cycle the remaining PATA drives out of the RAID and replace them with a couple more of these ones, so we're buying two more. I've had bad luck with hard drives of all brands, so I will probably stick with Seagate for their 5-year warranty. (Note the warranty does not provide peace of mind in case of a failure; it only means you can spend $10 shipping to replace the drive when it dies, rather than buying a drive outright.)

Cons: None so far. Anyone who complains about this not coming with cables shouldn't be buying OEM equipment in the first place.

Overall Review: Linux doesn't have very good support for SATA interfaces yet. We had to stick with the 2.4 kernel in order to install our Promise controller. Normal utilities for working with ATA drives won't work because SATA drives are treated as SCSI devices.
