Very Nice
Reviewed by chris. Review Posted 23/06/2009
Very fast and very quiet, runs cool and doesn't look like it's going to fail any time soon. one space left for a hard drive and it'll definately be one of these.

A Tad Noisy
Reviewed by Matt. Review Posted 20/01/2010
I got one of these to replace a failing 500gb hard-drive that i had barely bought 6 months ago, its a tad noisy under heavy access, other than that no problems so far.
