And even a quicker explanation..
Unfortunately, we have to point out that the TechwareLabs mod is well, quite pointless. It is not a mod per se because the drive's transfer rate after the "mod" is no different from what you would experience without the mod. Nothing has actually changed physically. All the mod does is limit you to the first (and fastest) 300 GB of your massive 1.5 TB hard disk drive. Their benchmark results merely reflect a narrowed focus on the outermost tracks of the drive.
