The Pros:Quiet, and cool running hard drive, good option for media systems. Good transfer performance and large 32Mb cache for a 5400rpm drive, compared to similar options from Seagate. Low cost and power efficiency makes this drive a good candidate for a RAID or NAS setup.
The Cons:Possible quality control issue with a number of dead on arrive reports. Package does not include any accessories or cables.
