Had my doubts, but...
review by: Frazer Soar rating:
customer rating
operating system: Windows XP

When I first got this drive, the computer failed to 'see' it in BIOS, so ended up trying it on 4 other machines, all the same.



Contacted ebuyer to arrange a return, and it all went super smooth. Courier collected the dead drive next day, 5 days later spanking new replacement in my eager hands.



This one was 'spotted' first go, formatted in a record time and is now happily sat in the pc with about 200Gb free.



Transfer times are the fastest Ive seen, but I've not played with that many drives.



If you have to move large data quickly, E.G. video editing, then this is the drive you need.



Smashing, and Impressed with ebuyer returns department, fast, fair and a laugh too.

Very good hard drive although a little tricky to get my OS to recognise it at first. Very quiet running and quick.

E-buyers delivery is also fab!!!
