Review By Ale (Miami) :
Pros: quiet, stable and lots of room, this makes it is perfect for a secondary drive since it also has a good transfer rate & speed.
Cons: none
Other thoughts: haven't try it as a system drive, but I personally recommend a caviar black for it, 640GB or less to assure stability. Even how, caviar blue is great if you want it to be really quiet.
Review By Aaron Eischens ( Honolulu, HI ) :
This disk has performed flawlessly as a replacement for my old iMac hard drive. I had considered buying an new iMac, but realized the only thing I really needed to upgrade was my hard drive. After a bit of research I found this drive as a good replacement. I swapped the drives with little difficulty, and this one hit the ground running. I've had no overheating, or noise increase from my default drive. An excellent upgrade from my old 250G.
