Anyone had good luck with these drives?

[DOHCrazy]

Looking for a new HDD.. Not for RAID, but i may go there in the future. I like the price of this drive, and it has all good reviews on newegg.

Anyone have link to any reviews or has anyone used one?

Sorry guys, answered my own question, have read reviews and am begining to like this drive.

The other question still stands, any of you have one?

They are very nice drives, and the fastest of the 7200rpm units. They do make a kind of disconcerting "cat meow" noise in the course of normal operation from time to time. It is a normal recalibration, but is more audible than seems necessary for such a generally quiet drive. They appear to be reliable and well built, and perform nearly on par with Raptors in RAID 0 configurations.

I do not have them as of yet...But I am going to buy three of them to set up a RAID-0+1...Sold my WD JB's to get these...LOL...Just my luck they are out of stock at newegg right now and directron does not sell them...:(

REALLY? wow, that's a pretty convincing argument for me to switch my hard drives.

They're in stock at AccuPC for $79 shipped. I'm about to pick up a couple for myself as well. I just couldn't talk myself into paying so much more for raptors.

How is AccuPC's rep?

Do you have a link?
