Happy so far... great value
I bought this for my brother (for a present) a few weeks ago, and have so far heard only good things about it. In short, a very good price for the specs.
Best value for money I've seen in a long time
This hard drive was extremely affordable, If I had the money I would have bought two more.
Performance-wise, it stays true to Seagate's promise and delivers blazingly fast read and write speeds.
It is also very quiet.
Definitely recommended for anyone, whether your a serious gamer, or just a pack rat who likes to store everything in one place for easy access.
Be warned though, the box does not come with a SATAII or Power cable, so make sure you get them while your at it.
STRENGTHS:
Fast read and write speeds.
Very affordable.
3 Year warranty.
WEAKNESSES:
The box does not come with SATA or Power cables.

Silent and fast :)
Very good drive for the price. Performs well without any hiccups. Hooked it up into a RAID with my other drives without any issues. Definitely a good bang-for-the-buck HDD. Highly recommended. :)
