It's a HDD.
Decent speeds. It's an old HDD I ripped out of a powered external backup drive.
Lasted 5 years so far with no problems, was an external HDD that I shucked. Will be dropped soon, it's slowly dyin.
In addition to 0's it also stores 1's.
It's a hard drive. It does hard drive things. It also happens to do them well.

Tons of space, decent loading times. I personally don't notice that much of a loading time difference.

too loud, it's the loudest part of this build, about as loud as the CPU cooler and GPU fan running at 100%
Fast for a HDD but toooooo loud for HTPC, want to switch to a 5600rpm drive. I set it to sleep after 5min idle to minimize how much I have to listen to this drive
