I purchased one of these drives to replace a drive that died in my parents computers (drive that died was ~5 or 6 year old Maxtor.) I've always been a fan of the Barracuda line and the price was right so I jumped on this drive. My parents need almost no storage to check their e-mail and surf the web so this drive was perfect! 

Question: How is drive?
