A good deal on energy-efficient storage6/11/2012 11:08:06 AM
Pros: Looking for a way to get secure, low-cost storage, I came across this little gem. Four of these, combined with a 4x1 carrier, and I have 1.8GB of RAID-protected storage for my home videos & pictures. When I bought it, they included 1yr of warranty coverage, so I can "limp" along while I get a replacement.
My other option for the same lvl of protection was 2x 1.5GB USB drives. These aren't speed demons, but are certainly faster than USB 2.0.
Cons: normally I stay away from refub HDD, but with a warranty (as good as most you get these days) the risk is mitigated.
Pros: Mostly silent, Lots of space 640gb. worked on first boot system recognized it what more do you want
Cons: 5400rpm is a little slow, this wouldnt be a good upgrade hard drive more of a replacement hard drive

Refurbished junk9/21/2012 5:46:30 PM
Pros: None that I can think of.
Cons: Somewhat reasonable price but after a few months, the drive has all kinds of bad blocks has problems. Bought this to replaced a failed drive that was in a Dell Laptop. Should not have bought the same junk drive.
Pros: Best deal at the time on laptop HDD.
No issues after a month.
9.5mm
Good deal.
No smart errors and decent transfer rates.
Cons: No cons yet.
Overall Review: Replaced optical drive with caddy and HDD in Dell Latitude e4300. Disabled bay in bios so it doesn't even start unless I tell it to. Should last a long time that way.
Cons: Died on me just shy of 3 months, now its a paperweight. I wish I would have saw the rating for the the new hard-drive, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822149128 before I bought it.
Overall Review: If you buy it get the extended warranty.
Pros: Used this to replace an external 7200 (want to upgrade my laptop 200 gb drive). Using Windows 7 disk management, make sure you format the drive first, otherwise it will not show up with the rest of your drives.
Pros: Very good GB/$. Used this drive to replace an old PS3 hard drive as I ran out of room to store games. The drive works great in the PS3 and speed seems to be on par with the drive it replaced. Newegg included an extra 1-year warranty, which gives me extra peace of mind.
Cons: I would prefer 7200RPM, but I realize that is not something I can expect at this price.
Overall Review: I have purchased a handful of refurbished drives from Newegg and through other sites in the past without any problems. Most people probably cringe at the thought of a refurbished hard drive, but I have had nothing but good luck with them.
