HITACHI Deskstar P7K500 250GB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
Cons:Too many people hate this drive

Pros:Quiet Write and ReadOver 2mb/s 4K disk writeVery cool even when nothing cooling it (35C> almost all the time)
Comment:
It's one of the best, using CrystalDiskMark 2.2 I get a 2.164mb/s disk write on 4K, and that's not bad for a 7200rpm drive. I see SSDs doing 8-16mb/s.

Cons:don't expect rebate to be timely

Pros:quiet drive
Comment:
I called after 10 weeks for rebate, and told there has been a delay. Seems a little shady, only increases my reluctance to buy anything with a rebate.

Cons:-none

Pros:-fast-inexpensive-good capacity-quiet
Comment:
This is a great drive for anyone looking to upgrade. A 250GB SATA II hard drive for under $70 is very reasonable. It is very quiet and had no problems when setting up. Highly recommended.
