Bad quality, not worth the spent money.

The disk is normal if you have a noisy PC or not for home use and will get caught without the clang of it :) Another feature if you do not use it for a long time falls into sleep and wakes up after 2-3 seconds. In general, the disk, as it is written in the description "network drive", there the level of noise, vibration is especially unimportant and works without stopping.

Pros

Works as described in terms of speed and dimensions.

Cons

After a couple of months, it began to click (it looks like the head when it gets into the park or through a place passes something that clicks there every 1-5 minutes, I hope it will break during the warranty). This clang is loud, annoying, since I rarely use it for a dump and I mostly have it in sleep mode. Noisy, not suitable for home quiet PCs. It creates a hum, compared to the old Seagate 7200 disk, it is noisier with a constant hum like in an airplane. The noise is stronger than from the fans (I have large quiet fans). It gives small vibrations (screwed to the case through rubber inserts), again I compare it with the old 7200 disk, they are not strong but stronger than the old disk.
