Pros: Storage capacity, price/GB, and 5 years warranty.

Cons: Not the fastest in its class and a little noisy at times.

WEI score for this drive is 5.9 like many others in its class.

Completing the read speed tests from AIDA64, the speed is around half of my Intel 320 series 80GB SSD. With the exception of Buffered read. The seek time is much longer compared to the Intel SSD.

The rest are the things I've indicated in the Pros and Cons. wink.gif

Side note: I don't own any Western Digital's Cavier Black drives, while I believe they are the best in its class, but they are rather expensive.
