Pros & Cons

Pros

Both drives are quiet and average around 130 mb/s in hdtune with 10 second access times.

I figure it got a very good 30 hour workout after which everything checked out fine.



Cons

I am not sure if it is a surveillance system thing, or if these drives and just junk, but i would guess the latter. It also make my computer laggy and crush.

    So i was only able to get the drive to run at 3

    Anyhow this drive is mainly for bulk storage of media files

    The crystaldiskmark times are not horrible but this is definitely not the kind of drive you want for an everyday readwrite situation

    I ran tests at 1gb and 4gb but with only 64mb of cache it was probably moot


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Hwinfo showed it was a 7200rpm and despite what others said mine was only slightly louder than my system fans
