Excellent Quality / Price ratio - 931.5 GB Total Storage
After reading G. Hanson's review at Amazon.com on this drive, I decided to give it a try.

So instead of purchasing one of the 'prebuilt' 1TB external drives offered at Amazon, I bought the Antec MX-100 3.5" USB Aluminum Enclosure for SATA Hard Drive along with this drive.

- The hard drive is so quiet that it's almost noiseless.
- It runs smoothly.
- Extremely cool operation.
- This is the OEM version, there are no cables, manuals, cds. Just the bare drive, which is good if you want to save on stuff that you will probably not use.
- I created a single NTFS partition.
- The total capacity after formating on NTFS (XP SP2) is 931.5 GB.
- Highly recommended.

Drive works great thus far...
I purchased the drive from Amazon, it arrived on time and in good condition. Since the purchase it has been my Time Machine backup drive. I have seen no issues.

Good 1 TB drive - was a good price at the time
Delivered as ordered on time - works flawlessly and quietly at a reasonable heat level. Recommended if price point stays good.

Dead drives
Never had problems with Amazon orders, but this drive arrived dead. I am tech savy and tried different cables, enclosures and took it to work for them (Sys Admins) to try out.

Sent it back and replacement was also dead. Tried all the above again. No luck. *sigh*

Nice hard drive - good price
This is a great drive - high capacity and it uses less energy and runs cooler than most competitors drives, especially important because it is used in a multi-drive array.

This is the OEM version of the drive - there is no cable, instructions, mounting screws, etc. included with this drive. If you need those, purchase the Retail drive.
