I have installed the hard drive in my desktop computer. It provides good reading and writing values - according to benchmark up to 160mbit / s. However, the board has only about 15 minutes to run the full power to offer; at the start, it provides degrees times 40Mbit / s. In addition, it is very loud in the accesses; even from my silenced housing. As a server hard drive for continuous operation so well suited, so Desktop plate rather not - but that's about it for what it was built.
