Does what it says on the tin!

Bargain price, quiet in use, works well, looks good. It's an OEM drive so no cables, software or manual. Only takes SATA power, no MOLEX. Fantastic for the price, a system builders dream.

This Drive
review by: Anonymous operating system: Windows Vista

Do any SATA drives come with any cables, I bought a retail boxed one, and it did not come with a cable, so to be really honest, OEM drives are as good as a retail box anyday! The software is not an issue when most FREE writing software does the trick!

Plugs in - works!

Mountedthe drive into my desktop on windows 7, detected the drive and works fine. Would agree with previous comment not strickly black, more of a very dark grey but for the price can live with. The drive comes with no extras, screws nothing, so make sure you have some spare and also a SATA cable is required.

You get what you pay for
review by: Edd rating:

operating system: Windows 7

The specs look great for this price. But you get what you pay for. It's really noisy and the tray is flimsy. It also looks very plastic. Doesn't look good quality at all. It's not even black, it's more of a grey colour. It's good for the price, but I wish I'd paid more and got a decent drive.
