Very good 7200 drive that is extremely fast! Avg transfer rate is at 100mb / s It stays 42c in a small mini-ITX chassis. Followed with an acer Vertion X2610G http://www.2shared.com/photo/Lv07lBwY/HDTune_Benchmark_ST500DM002-1B.html Given the prices in the segment so it is too expensive in comparison...

Nice Hard Drive

This is the best Hard Drive that I have bought online. And actually best one anywhere. It gets installed quickly and you don't have to be a pc guru to do it. It has instructions and Windows will pick up the dirve very easily.

Great HDD

Nice and quite, really fast with Windows 8 installed on it.

Great performance

This is a great drive to use for system boot drive. Seems responsive and quicker than most other 7.2K drives

Fast & quiet
