Summary: Not sure about reliability and stability. A quarter terabytes, 8 meg cache, and ATA 133 would be a pretty good drive for an older machine but if its going to intermittently screw up your system its trash.
I'll read some stuff and try a few things but if I cant make it 100% reliable its going to become property of the sanitation department. Not only would I not recommend this drive. I would recommend against it.
