Great hard drive
Reviewed by Jetinder. Review Posted 22/09/2009
This has a feel of quality, its well made, very quick and quite, it as 16mb cache and Sata 2.
Sata 2 make this hard drive feel like the Concorde of hard drives.
Installation is easy and so far the drive feels 100% reliable and solid.
I cloned my old 250gb hard drive on to this and it took me less than an hour which by any standards is very fast.
If I needed another hard drive I would definately buy the same model.
I highly recommend this as its a great hard drive.

HIGHLY RECCOMENDED
Reviewed by Ian. Review Posted 21/03/2009
This hard drive is whisper quiet, very fast and reliable. I had no difficulty fitting the drive in my PC. I cloned my old drive onto this one with no problems. This drive has a 15 pin power connection so if you have a PSU with a 4 pin connection you will need a 4 pin - 15 pin adaptor. Also its a SATA 2 drive so it might speed up the data transfer rate is you use a SATA 2 cable. This drive is a exellent choice.
