I bought this hard drive couple of weeks back to replace my 80 GB hard drive. It is alot cheaper than other brands and gives a lot of extra space to copy your data. This product is amazingly fast when you copy small chunks of data (about 4 to 5 gb). It is very fast. But when you copy huge data, it heats up and crashes. I was copying over 70 GB of data from my old hard drive and I was unable to do it. I failed several time but when i did it in small chunks, it was fast and easy and infact it took less time then copying all that data in a single attempt.

This product is good value of money as well as it alot cheaper than other brands that are available.
