This is drive was bought used and the seller was accurate to the best of his/her ability. The drive has about 340MB of bad sectors which were partitioned out. But, they are spreading which makes the drive a hazard to use for important data. I decided to just trash it. It would not be good for anyone to use, especially for an OS installation. Besides, it has a 5400 RPM speed which is very slow for an OS of XP/Ubuntu/Vista caliber.
Very good reliable hard drive compared to others in its class.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Ebay deserves a fairer review. This particular unit arrived inoperable. It had a suspicious rattle inside. It neither read nor wrote CDs, nor DVDs. With nothing to lose, I opened the case and found that the laser trolley had come off its track. I did my best to get it back together and tried it again. It still refused to read or write anything.
