No personal experience with them aside from an external drive using an USB 2.0 connection, but I am using the two drives (80 & 120 GB) for the "new" *nix box after transferring the data via a USB 2.0 to IDE adapter. Decided to go with a $20ish option from Newegg that had good reviews.
Would like to add a 1 TB drive eventually to the 500 GB shipping with the system and the 500 GB external SATA previously in use. I think the PIII 650 server data will be transferred to the new SATA and that system shut down after 9 years of service without a single problem, that was my last system to never have or need a CPU cooling fan. Enough rambling for now.
