Rating: - Too small for today. Been reliable for many years.
I bought two of these a few years ago for stripe (running in tandem w/RAID for speed). One of them I later used in a sys for my girlfriend and her daughters, a sys intended for reliability and minimized "tech support" calls to my home--the other is in my Windows XP sys. Both drives still work well, although I now need a larger drive or an additional drive. Oddly, this model seems very overpriced now (?) for its relative lesser capacity and usefulness....

I bought a Dell Dimension 3100 with this hard drive 16 months ago for a home machine. Not a lot of activity. I defraged, and other monthly maintenance. Then one day it asked me to do a chkdsk before I could do a defrag. Now the disk is dead. I am trying to save some data, but I am having a difficult time switching between drives and utilities. I do not recommend the product at all.
