Well i needed a new hard disk for my new pc, and i'd been told that SATA drives were the way to go...

I decided on purchasing two of these drives to create a RAID 0 setup (2 hard disks working as one, twice as fast) after hearing nothing but good things, and i can back this up from experience. They're quiet, fast and reliable, and coupled with a relatively new system they make for a killer PC setup.

One thing i must note is that if you are planning buying a hard disk for an existing pc, then this size should be fine. However if you are building a new pc i recommend you look to buy a drive twice as big as you think you need (or buy two of the same drive for a RAID 0 array), as many game installs are upwards of 5Gig each, which quickly adds up along with applications and media.

I have been running this (well these) drives for a while now, as i never shut my PC down, and have found them to be extremely reliable, and have had no errors at all with them so far. From what i have checked on various forums other users have found them to be exceptional, so if your looking for a SATA drive, i recommend this one fully.
