Nice review Ian! You’re a natural 😉
The better man won, thats a great review. I entered as well, but congrats !
+1 for a good review..
There is a TOSHIBA MK505GSX internal HDD inside
Bad review too much about the rubber but not going there but not enough about the product. Not buying; bad site bad specs…. not helping.
I’ve bought this HD710 1TB yelow-black about three weeks ago – not too bad!!! Performance almost the same as Ian get, moreover recently I connect this HDD to TS-PDC3 adapter – I have to buy it because my mobo is quite old to have USB3.0&SATA3 ports, – so I easily obtain about 100-110MBps on CrystalMark/CrystalDiskMark… later I’ll test it on real loads: backups, copying, etc.
