>> Don t Let Green in the Name Discourage You From Buying
Many people are turned off by products marketed as Green
But I found this drive to be a good performer and reliable in my Mac Pro Installation took 30 seconds It just slides in with no wired connectors
Made in Thailand NOT Communist China
>> Extra padding for shipping compared to bulk/OEM hard drives
As far as shipping goes these hard drives have more padding since they are a full box version as if you bought it in the store with the clam shells isolating the hard drive in the box pictured Amazon or other sellers should still put extra padding in to ensure it is protected Mine came padded fairly well since I ordered many small things with it but some of the photos found on the reviews for bulk/OEM hard drives show them shipped in an anti static bags with no padding that s scary since you re spending so much money
The hard drive performs well is is VERY quiet I have it in a Thermaltake BlacX dock on my desk and even sitting right next to it I can barely hear it I have it hooked up on eSata and get read/write speeds above 70MB/sec so not too bad Stays fairly cool even when copying large amounts of data
>> NO CABLE AWFUL PACKAGING
This retail kit does NOT come with an SATA cable dispite notes otherwise Also it was so poorly packaged that the box was rattling around inside of the shipping box
