Superb
Reviewed by alexc. Review Posted 29/04/2009
Bought 16 of those so far (sadly not from Dabs as they did not have them in stock): extremely cool disks (as in they don't heat up), very light and work like charm. This is a good alternative to more expensive 2 TB WD disk, which has no alternative now if you need to pack up maximum disk space into single server. Most excellent but watch out for Adaptec RAID controller compability - it appears to be fault of Adaptec rather than WD.
