Default Re: 750gb HDD

I just bought the 500gb 32mb cache HD... Had alittle trouble getting windows to recognize the drive... i had to use the Windows disk to Format it THEN it showed up, other than that its a solid drive... I bought it for my growing music collection, ive noticed its not as fast as my Raptor but it gets the job done... 38gigs of music i slowdown just trying to think of it all lol

the new 7200.11 fixed that problem
