Be sure that your OS and hardware support 3tb hard drives. When I first installed this drive it only showed up as 760gb, but after a little research saw the fix was to update my BIOS. With the current BIOS my computer accepted the drive without a hitch. Be sure to choose GPT not MBR when initializing the disk. HD Tune gave these results on my disk Min 64 MB/sec Max 132.9 MB/sec Avg 102.3 MB/sec Temp 29C (28c at idle) Access Time: 14.2 ms Burst Rate 162.1 MB/sec 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Cheap, big and slow By M. Wang My experience with Hitachi (used to be IBM) drives has not been as pleasant as those with Seagate or Western Digital, but this 3TB monster is by far the cheapest and biggest drive on the market. Its slowness is not much an issue as I plan to use it for large data storage only. I decide to give it a try.Getting Windows to recognize a drive bigger than 2.2 TB takes some efforts. Both Asus, which manufactured the motherboard, and Hitachi itself offer little programs to help. In the end, the Hitachi one (by Paragon) works better. It even partitions and formats the drive for me. No BIOS update is necessary.My computer is 3 years old and only has SATA II. I get a sustained write speed of 84 MB/s when copying 1 TB of old data over. Auslogics Disk Defrag runs noticeably more slowly on this Hitachi than the Seagate 7200rpm drive it replaces, but I don't expect to defrag it often. Overall, a decent buy so far. The only question remaining is how long it will last. Of this, I have my concerns, as this Hitachi does run much hotter than the Seagate and WD drives in the same enclosure. 0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. It works as advertised By MoreBits The drive worked when installed in my computer. The 3T drive was not recognized by a USB backup system that was my original plan. See all 4 customer reviews...
