    • The speed to space ratio makes this drive worth the money!

    • This hard drive is really very good, speed is very stable and fast for a mechanical disk drive, with the only disk I have is against noise when writing data, but it is normal for all records generated, rest has many pro when searching for a top drive in all mechanical drives.
    • Works great, nice speed increase accessing files.

    • Yes I know the new thing is ssd but price for size and great speed cant be beat
