My experience

Bought this product to increase my storage space to 900GB( alongside with 750 GB HDD that i use ). But this product has very poor reliability, got serviced 7 times within a period of one year. All my datas lost.

Read/Write speed is good but head movement sound drives me mad. Its not worth buying this product. A little shake to the CPU, this product is gone.

Worst Experience


And one more bitter experinece for me with this product. I once sent it for service as it did not work and after 4-5 days, went to service center and got my replacement HDD (Serviced one i suppose) and kept it in a well cushioned box ( A Jewel Box with good cushion effect).

I plugged it in immediately after returning home and ALAS, the hard disk was dead, It gave some ASCII characters for HDD name in my BIOS (CMOS) utility.

Comparison

Im using Hitachi 160 GB now and it really rocks. Reliability is very good and very silent in its operation. Also Hitachi performance is better with its 8MB cache.

It took 1.57 minutes to copy a 6.8 GB Hi-Def movie file in Hitachi but this took 2.41 minutes.

Not recommended to buy this, its better to buy Seagate HDD of capacity 250 GB and above.

Advantage

In my opinion the only advantage that i can mention is the Manufacturer's support. He never let me down even for a single time when i went to him for servicing this HDD when it got repaired. :-)

This is truly my opinion and mean no harm to anyone.

P.S = Thanx for your ratings in advance.
