Pros: The SATA connectors are mounted properly on the hard drive (all HDD's have the SATA connectors that way), I'm guessing your previous hard drive manufacturer was told to mount them the other way. But the hard drive doesnt care which way it is mounted, it will perform the same.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Don't leave a negative review if you dont understand how the SATA connectors are mounted, also look at the products picture and details before buying
