Not a bad product, but you can find a better one.

I just bought a hard one, I haven’t tested it yet, but I immediately noticed this drawback. Then I'll write more. I use for multimedia player.

HD Tune Pro (NTFS/512 bytes):
Minimum speed - 63 MB/s
Maximum speed - 124.8 MB/s
Average speed - 101.4 Mbps
Access time (512 bytes) - 15.6 ms
Peak speed - 187.9 MB/s
*Processor - i7 950
*Motherboard - ASUS P6TD Deluxe

The temperature in the case (not much blown) - 34 degrees

Cons

Thin cover creates additional noise. In a docking station, in a low-noise environment, it will be annoying. (if you press the cover with your finger, the noise will disappear =) Vibration is too strong for me.
