I bought this HDD yesterday for backup purposes. It was an on the spot decision versus the WD myBook. So i hadnt read any review of this. Surprisingly, i'm unable to find a review of this HDD anywhere online!
Anyway, here i go..
Box
Nicely packed
Outta da box
HDD, power cable (american style unfortunately), data cable(standard), Warranty booklet
side view
back
In my hand.. MAN is it heavy.. [ i think it weighs in at a kilo :| ]
Nice matt finish too
Comparing my 120gb lappie hd with casing next to my Basics
Test with HD Tune
HD Tach Score
So, approx 30MB/s according to the benchmark tools.
I transferred a 700mb file in around 40 seconds
Gets very slightly warm after around 15 mins.
Cost -> Rs.5250 from Oasis Networks at Ritchie street, Chennai.
Seems like a good cost-effective deal to me ~10Rs./GB
Has a 3-year limited warranty (as said on the cover). Same service centre as Seagate, the Accel service centre.
Overall->
Looks good, Feels good (but heavy) and cost-effective
