  Duration of ownership: 2 Months

  Strengths: Gives you the nostalgic sound of disks you had 20 years ago.

  Weaknesses: Noise and noise and noise - but extreme. Can hear the disk very well seeking from 10 meters away. This is where my room ends.

  Overall: I have a 7200.10 250 GB and a friend has a 7200.10 320 GB. Both are extremely noisy - seek noise. I have also 2 Maxtor Diamand 10, 1 Seagate 7200.9 and a Samsung - nothing to hear there... Avoid this disks. Seagate does not support Advanced Acoustic Management anymore. So there is no way to switch them to quiet mode. Dont use them for a desktop system.

  Strengths: huge capacityhuge cacheshort non-sequential seek timesoperating temperature

  Weaknesses: needs underlighting and a lift kit to go with the rims and spoiler

  Overall: Great drive. It follows the SATA II standard so it works with new computers well, but you can jumper it so you can use it with SATA ports. Fast, reliable, and works great in an array.

  Strengths: fast speed, big capasity, affordable price

  Weaknesses: no 4 pin power connector, little noise while processing data

  Overall: this hard-drive is one the best on today's market. if your pc case does not have enough slots for hard drives it's better to purchase this one because nowadays people have so many video files which better be stored in one place; so three of those hard-drives will give you over 2 tb of space for your movie collection.

  Strengths: affordable price

  Weaknesses: no regular 4 pin power connector

  Overall: This harddrive is pretty good. Of course it was better to buy 2x500 Gb for the price I paid for this harddrive but my PC did not have enough harddrive slots.

  Strengths: Fast, Reliable, good price Per/GB

  Weaknesses: none

  Overall: Heard comments about heat and noise, but have not experienced myself. Have 3 750's installed a Gateway MicroBTX case. They perform very well. I was very weary after some bad experiences with other mfg. I use the drives for storing my DVD Collection and watch on Media Center 2005. At about 5GB's per movie, the space gets filled very quickly.
