+ Large capacity
+ Quiet operating noise
0 access times for my perception of good average, as this is always a comparison is needed. But I'm not in a hurry - so subjective!
But one point is deducted because ...
- A clear-brainer sound can be heard on shutdown in standby mode
- Even when starting up the hard drive can be heard bustle increased, which then goes back into a quiet Snurrenton
Sorry, but that I had (40-250 GB approximately 5x PATA) never seen in older hard drives in the form.
Nevertheless, I would drive at any time buy back, because the downshifts / boot can be set by the system and thus represents rather a subjective perception, which reduces the functional qualities of the hard drive in any way.
