I was very excited to receive this Hard Drive, takes care of lots of issues with lack of storage space. However, I was a little frustrated with the small stuff. The screws sent with it to attach it to the drive tray for my Raid were just slightly too big. Once installed, the screw head stuck out a little far and would not allow the tray to go in the Raid box and make connection. Solution was easy-peasy, since I've done enough to have spare screws around to use. Once I replaced the four that came with it, it went right in. It is fast, pretty quiet and gobbles up the information I feed it. Thanks again, MacSales, for all the solutions you have to help me build the computer system I need! Thanks also for the blog article(s) concerning "Getting The Most Performance Out Of Spinning Hard Drives". They were the extra needed touch.
