Too old

When I first opened it (well packed) I was horrified at the sight of it, talk about old!! The date on it is June 2007! Well it was cheap (sort of), I wanted it so I could make a clone of my computers HDrive, I'd got everything ready and placed the hard drive into my docking bay ready for action, I turned it on and it started grinding away!! it made a terrible noise, it took at least two minutes just to get to speed. It'll do to hold the clone but I'd never use it in a computer. Not RecommendedRead full review...

A good hard drive for the price

Had some issues installing but managed to fix it easily.
The drive makes a bit of noise but it's nothing too irritating.

23 days later - The sound it makes when transferring files is extremely frustrating, and it sounds like it doesn't have much life left in it.Read full review...

Super Fast For A Mechanical Drive

Excellent Value For Money Very Quick Drive
sata 6GB which helps
its high 7200rpm speed with 64mb cache is more than enough for multi reading and writing

it can be a little loud at times but I think its down to my case not having the right mounting option for this drive as ive seen on many other cases that they use rubber around the screws to hold the hard drive in and this makes them quieter

warranty is my only downside as its hard to find support in the uk if u needed itRead full review...

Good value thou life expectancy could be a worry !!

Fitted this with no problems , clean install of Windows 7 done , only thing slightly concerned about was the manufacturing age of the HD was 2008 ....were in 2013 so 5 years old already.
