By Kelly Owens this drive is amazing! ive got 1 in my tivo Premiem HD and wow is it fast and good! also have 2 in the Security Camera dvr setup again its not missed a beat!BUT i must warn you now DO NOT USE THIS IN A COMPUTER YOU WILL STORE DATA ON IE DOCUMENTS ETC!!!!! THE REASON FOR THIS IS BELOWThe A/V drives ignore errors, the normal drives will do an error recovery to attempt to get back any data from the platter.When recording video (security cameras etc) you want an A/V drive that will just record whatever you throw at it, and keep going even if it misses a byte or two. An error in a couple of bytes just causes a minor blip in the video stream, but the rest won't stop. On a normal drive it could go into an error recovery mode and stop recording for 10-30 seconds - and this is much worse for security.However if you store documents, a single byte error could corrupt megabytes or even gigabytes of important data.Which you choose depends on your purpose.. but for DVR's, CCTV's Etc ie if its only going to have video on it then this is the kiddie you need! 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

Large 64 Meg Cache, and runs quiet. Does not run as cool as WD states. Didn't like AntOnline's amateur packaging in bubble wrap rather than protective case first. See all 4 customer reviews...
