Review: Very reliable drive - Smooth and quiet - This was purchased for my son as a Christmas present last year and the first drive was delivered by Yodel!!! who only posted it through the letterbox!!! despite desertcart packaging stating "fragile" as you can guess to my disappointment on installation it would not work and the drive was damaged internally from the drop by posting it through the letter box and it dropping onto a hard floor - Idiots! desertcart were great at replacing this but at the time it was frustrating and I demanded a different delivery company to which they agreed and the replacement was delivered as it should of been with a knock at the door. It has been faultless and the drive runs very quiet and smooth and has been in daily use ever since purchase, it also has a 7200 spin speed which is better than a 5400 spin speed and has a decent 32MB buffer. All in all very pleased with this drive which has been reliable without any faults. Service from desertcart was fantastic and the packaging was great just a shame the first delivery was with Yodel!
Review: I would definitely recommend this drive to those building budget gaming machines - Very cheap and very fast. I usually expect cheap hard drives to be small and fast but this one had a large capacity and is very quick at writing. I would definitely recommend this drive to those building budget gaming machines, office machines or just general PCs. It seems very reliable and quiet too!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very reliable drive - Smooth and quiet
*by J***N on 28 September 2013*

This was purchased for my son as a Christmas present last year and the first drive was delivered by Yodel!!! who only posted it through the letterbox!!! despite Amazon packaging stating "fragile" as you can guess to my disappointment on installation it would not work and the drive was damaged internally from the drop by posting it through the letter box and it dropping onto a hard floor - Idiots!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would definitely recommend this drive to those building budget gaming machines

Very cheap and very fast. I usually expect cheap hard drives to be small and fast but this one had a large capacity and is very quick at writing. I would definitely recommend this drive to those building budget gaming machines, office machines or just general PCs. It seems very reliable and quiet too!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great hard disks in a RAID pair until one failed
*by J***E on 2 November 2012*

I bought two of these and set them up in a RAID 0 formation in a new build machine as data storage. They do what they are supposed to, seem very quick. Good price as well. Oops.. 8 days after installation one of the drives started clicking and failed. Fortunately the operating system (Windows 7-64) is on a separate SSD. I switched off and let the box fully cool down. Switched on again and all was fine for a while, long enough to make sure I had a complete backup. Then more clicks and failure. This is the bathtub probability distribution in action: hard drives either have a tiny fault and fail in the first few weeks or they last for years. I ordered a replacement drive (same model) through Amazon yesterday and it came today and I've swapped out the defective one for return to Amazon. The new one is working well so far and I'm just restoring files to it. The occasional failure is just bad luck and it could happen to any hard drive so I'm not going to mark it down. Four stars.
