250 GB is not a lot of storage in todays world. For anyone editing or storing a lot of video, it might be even tiny. For the majority of us.... 250GB is huge. Most of our video is done by live stream over a broadband connection. We spend our time looking for something new and interesting to watch, then watching it, not looking through our own libraries for something we saw once that we liked. This drive is quiet and fast. Almost as fast as a SSD drive. If you consider the increased reliability and reduced crashes with velociraptor as opposed to a SSD which crashes once a day or so, velociraptor is the way to go. I've been using them for years, and with the exception of a raid card trashing the bios on a half dozen of them, I've never had a problem with one. It is much better to have a slightly slower drive that will not let you down. If you have ever lost a drive, bet you agree. MTBF is 1.4 million hours, or 159 years running 24 hours a day!Read full review

Scored 6.1 on WEI, first HD I've seen above 5.9. Perhaps 'cause 64Mb cache? Quite the noticeable speed increase in daily use, plus faster boot times. For when reliability and longevity matters more then the last bit of SSD speed. SSD's usually fail without warning, HD's not so much. I have a 9 year old Velociraptor with 80,000+ hrs that just won't quit.

I purchases two of these drives for a refurbished IBM x3550. The drives are super fast and, with the included Ice Pack, run remarkably cool. The two drives are perfect for my vSphere Hypervisor 5.1 system. Pros: Super fast and very quiet. In fact, the server itself makes much more noise than the drives. Very low running temperature. Cons: The drives do have very bright green LEDs, which could annoy some who prefer to have their servers in dark rooms.
Great and fast hard drive. Would get this drive without a second thought. :)
