<div><font face="Verdana" size="-1" color="#3A3A3A"><b>Pros:</b> Huge
capacity.<br>
<b>Cons:</b> Poor quality control. We have ordered 5 of these drives
for clients - we are working on RMA #3. The first drive was DOA -
click of death. The replacement was fine. Then we ordered two more a
few months later - one seemed fine, the other was DOA - once again the
COD. A week after installing the seemingly fine drive we are seeing
signs of failure (had to rebuild a RAID) and hearing ominous sounds
coming from the drive.</font></div>
