I recently bought this drive for a new PC, and it's been the perfect drive. It's very quick i.e. excellent seek time, Good average transfer rate and great burst rate. This drive is very quiet, I hardly hear its sound when it is in operation.It's quite reasonable in price. I think this drive will prove great in raid environment.
The package that I got only contains the hard drive, no addtional SATA interface to motherboard. However my motherboard has that Sata cable and ATX power calbe also support SATA. The default jumper is set to 1.5G/s, you have to pull the jumper out to set on 3.0G/s.Overall it's fast.
I've had good experiences with Seagate in the past, and I trust I will in the future.
