This is despite the fact that it's fast and efficient, runs cool and quiet, and is currently the cheapest drive around. What's up with that? |

We reviewed 500 GB and lower versions from Hitachi drives and they performed poorly, as you can see here: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/627 And here: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/592 Cheers, Gabriel Torres |

| Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2009 Posts: 2 | Hello, > Comments on this article are welcome. Very interesting comparison, but what about the reliability ? You should have a look to this french web site that gives an overview of the reliability of the most common computer components every 6 months. The variation of the reliability is not negligible at all ... http://www.hardware.fr/articles/773-...omposants.html Best regards, Marc Last edited by Marc; 10-26-2009 at 05:19 AM. |

Unfortunately we don't have the physical space to leave all components running "forever" 24/7... See our office pictures: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/blog/156 Cheers, Gabriel. |
