to open one of these the best tool to use is a hax saw. cut through the plastic lid side, breaking the internal clips. the lid side is the side of the H in the Hitachi label on the back. takes about 5 minutes. Last edited by ReverseHandedJO; 02-05-2013 at 07:56 AM.. |

I don't get it, why do they charge less for a case, usb converter, software than for the drive alone?

Reviews on amazon are really good, I prefer 5400 as the drive will be quieter and I'm only using it for backup. My main concern was noise level, but the review on amazon said the drive is barely audible. It also said transfer rates were good...
I connected the drive to a Windows 7 laptop with USB3. No driver installation is required, the drive is recognized immediately, and it's already formatted and ready to go. The noise level was so low that I couldn't hear any difference between on and off. I placed my cell phone's microphone right next to the enclosure and measured the sound level, and it went from 32.5 dB (drive off) to 34.5 dB (drive spinning, not used). That makes it the most silent drive I've ever owned. I then copied a 15.5 GB file to the drive (from an internal striped array, which I assume has faster reads than this drive can write). This took around 127 seconds, for an average write speed of 122 MB/sec (it's fastest when the drive is empty). Then I ran a read test with HD Tune Pro (read the entire drive and graph it), which returned a high value of 135 MB/sec and a low value of 61.6 MB/sec (average 104.1 MB/sec, burst 143.2 MB/sec). |

Tempted, but I really hate HDs that only offer a 1 year warranty. Seagate from Costco at least has a 2 year warranty.
