SILK BAGS
I havent gotten to pop these suckers in yet. I just got them today, and unboxed them to see if they were alright.

The silk bags are amazing. I don't care about the hard drive at this point, SILK BAG.

And the best part, I got one for each hand 8D

This hard drive is fat and reliable. If you can get this hard drive for less than a hundred, then its a steal,. Worth every penny! And if you have money to spend, go for the New VelociRaptor!

GOOD!!!
Pros:It works, it's fast and SATA is a plus.
Cons: Not much faster than a Seagate (7200, 32MB cache).It runs really hot!!
