Amazingly quiet!
Strengths: One of the most quiet drives I have ever owned.
Weakness: Hot to the touch.
I am very pleased with the data transfer rate of this drive. But, I am even more impressed with how quiet this drive is. You can barely hear it spinning, and its very hard to tell that it is reading or writing data. Because it's so silent it works out well for my HTPC. However, I am a bit concerned about how hot the drive runs. It is very hot to the touch.
