It is excellent value for money runs perfectly. Bought to replace old drive which turned out to be the same one so no need to install drivers. All in all works fine and only annoying thing is i got it for a little bit more money than on here!

Broke first time I fired up new build
Reviewed by Ezekiel. Review Posted 19/06/2012
I had a new computer build and as soon as I fired it up for the first time there was a large puff of smoke originating from the drive. This was perhaps a faulty individual item, however I would not risk it again.
