Okay I have two XPS comps. about 2 years difference in age. Hard drive lasted about 4-5 years for each. This unit came a day earlier than scheduled which always impresses me. A good clean unit, popped right in, my youngest son(in his 20s) hooked it up. Loaded up the OS discs and back in business. Will this last as long? Who knows with electronics. Could go in 30 days, could last 5 years. Would I buy from FASTMOOSE again? You bet I would.

First of all, this is my first 1TB hard drive, and I was quite thrilled when I opened the package and took a first look at it. Secondly, I have only recently switched to SATA (yeah, I live in Mauritius, and I do not upgrade often). When I first made up my PC, I of course used a SATA hard drive, 5O0GB. I had quite decent transfer rates with it, having a maximum of 20MB/s when sending to my external USB IDE hard drive. However with this one, I'm having rates of up to 60MB/s when transferring to the same external USB IDE hard drive. Now, according to me, the tests are quite conclusive; of course I have not done extensive tests like the one you see on the Internet, but as a regular user who often transfers films, series, or others of the like, this hard disk is excellent!! Of course, that was about the speed; I won't even talk mention the size; 1TB is really enormous (for now, of course; we all know what will happen in about 3-4 months :D). I'm at last able to free up disk space on my primary HD, and even a lot from the external one so I can better manage which data I'm carrying and which data I'm leaving fixed. I don't know about heating ; I don't really monitor it and I don't even have an extra fan for the HD. I must also mention that I've connected the HD to a PCIe controller card; I don't know if it would be faster if it was directly on the motherboard, but I think it works great!! So all in all, I would highly recommend people with needs like me to go ahead and buy it!!Read full review
The hard drive was purchased used. My original one is just starting to fail. This is a nice replacement of the same original part number that was installed in my computer initially.

I needed more space for my movies, games, and music so I went on ebay to look for a 1TB hard drive. I currently have it in an xtrastor external SATA hard drive enclosure. The drive fits sung in the enclosure and works exactly as promised. It was easy to format to NTFS and have had no problems so far. Great buy if you can find one used.
