I have installed more than a dozen of these drives at this point with ZERO defects. I have several of them in systems that are a few years old now. I've even dropped one and it works fine. I am thoroughly convinced that this is the best 2.5" hard drive ever. The formatted capacity is ~680Gb. While I still consider these quiet, you will hear this drive in a quite room. The bearings on this model are pretty loud for a 2.5" hard disk, but you only hear it when your surroundings are dead silent. It's a small price to pay for the performance and reliability this drive will give you. Pros: Fast - While still outclassed by SSDs, this drive is quick! Reliable - I've been using this model expressly for 3 years, zero defects, zero failures Cons: Bearings a noticeable, just barely though. Bottom line: For this price point, you won't find something better. These drives will keep ticking for years. You can trust this drive with your data.Read full review

Purchased one used with the SMART drove data indicating 219 days of power on time, and the drive has worked great for the last 3 days on a repaired laptop. Performance increase is noticeable compared to a WD 5200rpm Blue model. Western Digital has been the most reliable brand compared to Seagate drives which have failed me in the past with no data recovery possible.
