After a few months of use, I can say that this record and really good. I was surprised by the fact that it does not make noise, to the point of wondering if it works ;-) But at this level, no worries, it works great. The only negative would be the price, but it's bound to change standard PATA -> SATA, nothing to do with product quality. Next time, I think probably purchase a SATA PCI card with a SATA hard drive for the same price we must significantly improve performance and hard drive capacity. For those being obliged to use an IDE drive, this drive is a very good choice imho.
