If you're not a fairly experienced PC user I would avoid their drives because of the problem with the Setup Assistant which wouldn't install.

Nice Looking

The software loaded on the hard rive (in a separate partition) - to format the drive - was Dead On Arrival. I had to format the drive manually. Then when I asked a simple question of their Tech Support about what to do with the other, smaller partition...
