Since I often times goes my 1TB HDD space, I informed myself a bit to 3TB hard drives. Since Seagate has fairly well in many tests and also top price was (101.5 to 13:11:14) I have worried me the plate. Sending ElevenFirst Ltd. was great, she came right on the day of ordering. The packaging was also good, no flaws in the product. The plate is neatly quickly (see attached photo), even twice as fast as my WD anno 2010. The boot time, I can not rate, since Windows is on my SSD, games and movies on the record store tidy quickly. The mentioned by many reviewers scratching does not occur to me that disk is very quiet in operation. For the price and the quality, I can definitely recommend. If they continue causing problems, I'll revise my review course. Advent If questions I answer that love!
