A detailed review of this very drive model can be found at Tom's Hardware, in this disk is also compared with other 1TB models, including WD and cuts almost identical from. Each model has its pros and cons as to the advantages of this model is certainly one of the SATAIII interface which, though by no means even begin Maxed, but simply feel good means that it is in there.
Furthermore - and this was the KO criterion par excellence for me - this hard drive is only 9.5mm high and can thus be easily installed in all external housing. Try that with a 12.5mm or 15mm thick hard drive from WD or Toshiba.
All in all I am very pleased with the hard disk and can really recommend it to anyone who wants to upgrade their notebook or just need a brisk, big, mobile and external storage.
