Pros: The performance of these is better sustained than the others. Large cache. No annoyingly small jumper restricting performance. 5 year warranty. VERY quiet and no issues.

Cons: A little more expensive.

Overall Review: I put two of these in RAID1 and I can barely hear them from a foot away when I'm opening large (100MB+) files. I have the "regular" 750GB Seagates and these are much better. Worth the difference in price.

Pros: I have not had one completely die on me yet having purchased about 20 of them, using them in 6 drive arrays.

Cons: Bad sectors galore. I mean 50 to 60 bad sectors a day on about half of the drives. It's gotten to the point that I simply am replacing them with good old 7200.11 drives... which seem more all or nothing (They die completely or work forever flawlessly).

Overall Review: For applications where data corruption is not an issue, the drive is rock solid. If you are working with files where corruption in various sectors could be an issue, buyer beware.

Pros: Good capacity and speed (SATA 3 plus large buffer). Supposedly a more reliable high usage drive.

Cons: Electronic (non mechanical) failure within hours of using it causing data loss.

Overall Review: I was in the middle of re-organizing data in order to optimize backup strategy. Unfortunately, I now have lost data as a result of the rapid failure of this drive. I certainly was not expecting that.

Pros: Good price.

Cons: Broken after under 2 weeks of use. Have to RMA, we'll see if replacement breaks too.

Pros: Review is for the product: Open Box: ASUS L1N64-SLI WS Dual 1207(F) NVIDIA nForce 680a SLI SSI CEB Server Motherboard I strongly encourage anyone considering buying an OPEN box anything from Newegg to NOT do so. Why? This why. I ordered an Asus OPEN box L1N64-SLI WS Dual 1207(F) mobo. 1) First mobo came DOA. 2) Discovered after a month both NIC ports did NOT work; had previously been using a wireless USB NIC; 3) Now I had to deal directly with Asus. It has now been very close to a month & I just received the replacement mobo yesterday. Asus sent me a mobo that has no mounting brackets for the CPU heat sinks. PLUS the mobo looks very used. If it even works, if I had to RMA it in the future I HIGHLY doubt Asus would accept the mobo it looks so used. As this item came with nothing from Newegg I purchased the I/O plate and several other parts from Asus directly. Total cost with shipping around $50. The cost to ship the defective mobo to Asus with insurance was around

Cons: Don't really know if there are any Cons because I have probably used the computer easily less than 5 hours before I had to send the mobo back to Newegg & then Asus. The little bit I did use it, it worked fine.

Overall Review: To sum it up, what little saving you may have will soon disappear in return shipping costs, headaches, down time and wasted time in general. My newly built computer, now 3 months old, & I have used it less than 5 hours & I do not know when I will have a working computer. TIP: If you really, really, feel you HAVE to buy an OPEN box item make sure you test ALL input / output ports prior to the expiration of the time period Newegg has to replace it, as I did not. But ultimately I think you will be wasting time & money. Spend the extra money and buy the NEW item. It is so WORTH IT. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE. GOOD LUCK.

Pros: This is an excellent hard drive both in quality and (Gigabyte) per unit cost. It is a video surveillance drive designated by the SV in the model number. If you're a Mac user this is definitely the hard drive for you. Definitely worth the extra cost.

Cons: None so far as I can tell.

Overall Review: No firmware to update as in the less expensive model (ST3750330AS-u$129.99), no jumpers to configure, no hassles. Fast, quiet, low heat. Highly recommended.

Pros: Wrote an earlier review of this SV [Surveillance Video] drive. Have now owned three of these drives for over 1 year. Purchased originally for about 159.oo u$. These drive run very cool, typically 9 to 13 degrees F cooler than my other internal drives in the adjacent bays. They run in 2 x 8 core mac pros. These drives are often running close to full capacity. I have not seen a problem from any of the three, two of them are the main boot drives. Until the firmware and failure problems are resolved with the larger 1 TB, 1.5 and 2 TB drives I prefer to stick with these as they are known to perform well.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I am considering populating all of my remaining bays [5 more] with these drives now that the price is even lower. I feel they are worth the premium paid. Cost and reliability vs. hassle, failure and possible data loss. Highly recommend these drives for boot drive, data storage and video surveillance applications.

Pros: amazing quality for the price.. super quiet, super fast, there is just no reason to NOT buy one.

Cons: none
