I have two of them and neither took over 3 hours to format. I noticed that they had accepted the auto update of Vista, which was pretty dumb of them in the first place, and that appears to be what caused their problem. I replaced 2 WD 500GB drives with these, and while I thought they were very quiet, I am very pleased at the fact that it's now just about silent. They also appear to run about 10 degrees F cooler.
