I am not sure we are talking

I am not sure we are talking about the same drive, but this is the one I bought a couple months back for $69 at Amazon.

I had hope it would help with freezing I was experiencing with my Seagate drive. Seems to perform exactly the same.
The only thing I really need to add is this drive is loud. A strong humming sound. Sounds like the disc spinning and slightly out of balance. It works OK, but the noise is annoying. The drive mounted on rubber in my HTPC case and I can hear it from 15 feet away. Definitely worse than any other drive I have had. As soon as I get a chance I will return to Hitachi for replacement. My fear is they are all like this.
