Pros: So far these drives have been as advertised. I got 4 out of 4 drives ordered with none DOA. I know there are a lot of negative reviews of DOAs so I figured I would pass on my experience with the DOA gamble. I'm going to get two more next week beings these turned out good so far. They came packaged really well for transport so shipping at least had a fair chance of not destroying the drives.

Cons: I accidentally pulled my stat cable out (the locking kind) and forgot that it was the locking kind. Now it won't lock into place because the case clips are broke. Won't make that mistake again.
