    Great price for the amount of space. Works perfectly as of the first month of use. There is a moderate noise when the drive is starting, but it goes away after the drive is active like most HDDs.

    This hard-drive does the bare minimum job. It works. Its cheap, but their is no way to mount it in my computer. So it is loose i don't like that. When i move i can hear it slide around and it scares me it will break something else. But the memory itself is a brick. I almost gave it 4 stars because its a lot of memorie for cheap but how much does a mounting bracket cost they should always come with their own.

    If you need an hdd from a reliable brand this is your best shot. My only complaint is that it's loud, and that's because it's an hdd.

    You could hear the hard drive revs when you access it, imagine a spooling turbo. No biggie, it’s a mechanical hard drive.
