Rating: - sata drive - oem
This is indeed an OEM drive - came with no warranty card, no SATA cable, screws, shipping list, manual or any other insert. If this drive goes south I don't have much of a paper trail to help me send it back. Purchased from Tech for Less through Amazon. I guess they ran out of them because the seller is now some other outfit.
Rating: - This is an OEM drive
Have not installed it yet due to unadvertised fact this is an OEM drive available elsewhere for less. No SATA cable nor warranty card. Drive may be great but for someone who lives an hour from an electronic store, a real hassle. Ad should have specified OEM. According to Electronics Direct, it can be returned minus shipping both ways ($16+, OUCH!) Not a happy customer.
Rating: - Huge hard disk
Great hard disk. Very quiet and fast operation. With a SATA installation, it is very easy to route cable around the inside of the box.
Rating: - h2benchw test with jumper removed.
You must remove a jumper to enable sata 300 mbps transfers, it was very hard to remove because the edge is below the socket. I use a small screwdriver and the jumper went flying somewhere into the room. I tested it with h2benchw a test program used by toms hardware to compare drives. the results (most relavent part) are pasted below. to summarize the min read speed was 49.8MB/sec, average was 84.0 MB/sec, max 113MB/sec. Write speed minimum 49.6MB/sec, average was 83.1MB/sec and max 111.7MB/sec
