I've been using many of this exact model in my DAW's )Digital Audio Workstations) for professional use since this model came out. Great for the computers dedicated drives, great for backup, speed is enough, extremely reliable & especially the beating a DAW's HDD's take for their purpose. Works in XP & up. E-SATA is nice and fast, too.

I bought this drive to up grade my 3 year old PC to raid level one. I felt it is a good proactive action to take, considering the age of the original hard drive. I chose this particular drive because I had good prior experiences with Seagate product dependability. And the PRICE was excellent! Also, while most people depend on one big multi-tera-bit drive, I prefer to spread out my important data across a drive array. These days it is a no-brainer to set up with Intel controller chipsets and the newest Intel software. I like this particular model due to its specifications and VERY quiet operation. I plugged it in, set the RAID software, and life was good. I highly recommend this product.
This is an excelent drive, up to the normal high-quality we have come to expect from SEAGATE. Note that this is a slimline drive, measuring less than 1" in thickness. It has a very fast read/write speed, and it's seek time is superb. Note also, that it is SATAII, not SATAI. It is also downward compatible with the old SATAI protocol, so it will work equally well on either type controller.
My desktop was making revving noises, I was told the hard drive was probably failing. I decided to replace it. This is the type of hard drive I have in my other HP desktop, so I purchased this one. It has stopped the noises, and I have no problem with it. It arrived right away and was easy to install. Performance it great.
