Old drive on my desktop started clattering and occasionally saying unable to find boot drive. This hard drive was larger than the original but took the ghosted copy of the system and worked first time. Now giving silent and speedy service.

Have assembled a quiet pc using Cooler Master sound proofed case an expensive high efficiency power supply, an ASUS fanless graphics card and an OCZ SSD for the C drive. Very pleased with the result except when this drive is running it vibrates the whole machine and the desk - just a little but enough to annoy.
I brought two of these drives for my new pc and both are fitted to removable bays and both vibrate in the same way so I assume it is a consequence of them running at 7200rpm speed? Otherwise they are very quiet in operation - no clicking sound during read/write operations.
This new pc stops the drive if not used for a while to save or open work, and it's noticeable when it stops spinning, and when it starts up again!

This is the latest generation (SATAIII)of hard drive which runs 6gb/s.
Really very fast and Amazing thing is it is backward compatible
and works like SATAII as well.
I will replace this hard drive soon with my all office systems.
Just bear in mind you need sataIII support motherboard for maximum advantage.

Does what it says on the tin
500GBs of storage. Easy setup. Feels solid, nothing to complain about. Can't speak to reliability as I've only had it a little while.

Decent price
Good price for a respected HDD to replace the one which is was failing in my PC. A lengthy job to do it but it had to be done.
