Customer Review: FAST and Silent
Summary: 5 Stars
300Gb, 10,000 RPM, fast. This drive is incredibly fast. Is is $100 faster than a 7,200 RPM version? For my money, yes absolutely worth it.
Mounting is a breeze. Slips into any 5.25 bay like any other drive. That big old heat sink actually makes it fit better or more stable.
I love this drive.
Customer Review: Good buy, No problem
Summary: 5 Stars
I only installed this product for a few days. It runs fine, and it has good speed. I will need at least 3 years in order to tell if this product stands up on normal office use. My experience is SATA drive do not last as long as the SCSI drive. However, the cost of a SATA drive is much less than a SCSI drive.Customer Review: Worth the $ b/c it makes you much more productive
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a bit pricey if you are looking at the pricing based on GB/$.
But, it is DEFINITELY worth every penny if you want efficiency.
The seek time on this drive is VERY fast.
For me spending a few extra bucks is well worth it, b/c my this HD makes me much more productive.
Customer Review: Fast Drive
Summary: 5 Stars
Should come as no surprise these drives are fast although expensive. Purchased two and set them up in a Raid0 array the system just scoots along. Should mention the drives are a little noisy but I pruposely built a very quiet rig perhaps that is why the noise stands out.Customer Review: if you can only afford one drive this is it
Summary: 5 Stars
you can not get a faster more reliable drive this this with out raid so this is a must for you boot drive and core programs that need speed such as games
if you can afford it I recomend pairing it with seagates 1.5 tera-bite drive for media storage
