5Fast and reliable internal hard drive.
By Bob Whitley
When i decided to get a new version of Windows Vista i knew that i would need more hard drive space than my current drive had so i got this one.I use this Internal hard drive as my primary C dive and installed Vista Home Premium onto it,everything went smoothly.I like this drive a lot because it works without being noisy or over heating.Even when the drive is doing hard work it stays pretty quiet.This thing is fast,quiet and reliable.

5Hard to beat
By iouzero
To date, after a month or so's useage, I haven't a hint of a problem. The drives worked right, and continue to work right, and I have confidence they will continue to work right. Good products at decent price.Only slight quibble: I originally bought these drives to use in conjunction with a Cooldrives caddyless drive, but found that their tiny difference in thickness caused them to be unuseable in that drive, as they become stuck and require some fancy juggling to remove. I substituted a Thermaltake Docking Station for the Cooldrive, and things are now going like clockwork.

4Decent Drives
By Eric
I have two of these drives set to mirror each other in my RAID Array. They are quick and seem reliable. They are a bit noisy during read/write, but sitting idle is hardly noticeable.
