Customer Review: Very Fast Drive, very bad packaging
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't say allot on HDD, its fast and doing the job.
Take in consideration these important factors:
1- it's not exactly 3.5" HDD size, it's non standard HDD size almost 2.5" however it's thicker fitted in heat sink to make it almost 3.5", however it's slightly bigger and can be a problem in installing it, depends on your PC case. I had to do some serious modifications to fit it in my HTPC
2- packaging is extremely bad, no cables, no connectors, no catalogues. Just a nylon cover, I wonder why they have invested in this cover?
Price: overpriced, do not expect 10x difference speed, speed difference comparing to the price difference it are extremely high.
Unless you are in audio / video processing this is not your baby, it's just waste of money.
For gaming and video playing, it perform exactly the same as my 1TB 7200 RPM 32mb, price of the 1tb is US$120
Windows Vista booting is improved for few seconds.
