Exactly what you'd expect from a Seagate drive
Seagate drives are known in the industry to be the most reliable hard drives on the market. This drive further enforces that reputation. Responsive and quick to spin up, this hard drive shows just how far the technology has come.
This 500GB model only has 16MB cache, if I'm being honest, it's completely indistinguishable from the 32MB cache drives. The drive is very quiet, almost completely inaudible unless you hold your ear to it. The casing is very slim and will fit neatly, with space to spare, inside the 3.5" bay. This drive is pricey for the capacity, maybe look at some 1TB drives instead.
RAID Capability is strong, it fits in well with other 500GB drives.
