Within the complex operations of hard drives, the buffer is used to hold the results of recent reads from the disk, and also to "pre-fetch" information that ... Less

Consumer Reviews
Pros
Speed, Speed, Speed!
Cons
None that I have come across yet.
Recommended it?
Yes
When it became overly apparent that my Maxtor 40GB 5400 RPM hard drive just wasn't cutting it in the performance department, I decided to look for a drive with a bit more punch. I did loads of research, looked at at least 20 hard drives, but the Caviar SE always ended up at the top of the heap. I...

Pros

After about a month of use, it fell about 2 feet from the top of the computer case...

I purchased this from Circuit City for $100, and it has $50 in combined rebates. Installation was easy via my USB 1.0 port. The Retrospect program included works well also. However, the transfer rate was appallingly slow so I installed a ZONET USB 2.0/FireWire card (www.newegg.com, $22 with a $5...
