Great Purchase, Firstly thought it is faulty and it did not start while attached to SATA connectors - I was wrong - it was just so quiet! =] Very quick access time, fully compatible, made a system partition - set up Vista 32bit on it in 14 minutes, (Vista score - disk data transfer rate = 5.9 !!! WoW) Worth the money that is for sure - under £40 - you cant go wrong with that one, Seagate and Dabs rules, happy customer! thank you dabs team,
