Comments: It's a really fast hd. I was surprised how fast windows loaded when I switched to it. My only gripe is this is an ide hd and I didn't pay attention when I was buying it so now I have the ide version instead of the sata version. The speed's the same, but no raid. It just means I have to get two hds for raid and transfer everything over when I do. No biggie. The 16mb cache is what really makes this stand apart from the competition.
