  Strengths: Crash your system! Can use it to kill time!

  Weaknesses:Make noise, won't boot!Replacment drive crashed my system!

  Overall Evaluation: Got the 1st 1 about 4 month, I used it for video recording. It's make weird noise and die after like 3 hours.Send it back to manufacture, and got my replacement slowly.It crashed my system right after the window loaded! It was critical error, a blue screen popped, told me to take it out! After it detached, everything works fine!Waste of time & money, never worked and it's not cheap!So far Western digital work the best (not even Maxtor)Never touch Hitachi unless you are boring!Good luck!

  Duration of ownership: 3 Weeks

  Strengths: Quiet, easy setup, low price, excellent warranty

  Weaknesses:None so far

  Overall Evaluation: I own several Desktar (IBM/Hitachi) drives, and they are all still working today.I was looking for a low-cost IDE drive to mount into an existing enclosure, and this drive ($95 after rebate) was the best value I found in early July 2005.

  Duration of ownership: 30 Days

  Strengths: 3 year warranty.

  Weaknesses:None

  Overall Evaluation: I don't think hard drives are that different from each other for most of the consumers. Noise level, life span, error rate, etc are all matters of luck sometimes. I have owned many hard drives from different manufacturers, and the performance for each and every one (with comparable size, format, cache, etc) were almost the same. Even with 3-year-warranty, which is good, you still have to backup your data regularly.

  Duration of ownership: 31 Days

  Strengths: Capacity, Quiet

  Weaknesses:None

  Overall Evaluation: Purchased this driver mainly for HDTV recording. With 8GB video data per hour, you are going to need as many space as you can afford. So you can record around 30 hours HDTV program with 250 GB capacity. Drive is fairly quiet comparing to my other Maxtor drives. This is my first Hitachi brand drive. Will recommend to others.

  Duration of ownership: 7 Days

  Strengths: Not to noisy; fast; and 3 year warranty!

  Weaknesses:ATA100, Not ATA133; a little bit expensive; A little bit hot in the external enclosure!

  Overall Evaluation: Overall, it is a good buy especially for the 3 year warranty. I am using it in a external enclosure which works just fine. Feel a little bit too warm but has similar experience for other drives, might just be normal.
