Thanks for letting me know about that. When I finally figured out how to access the reviews on NewEgg, I found there are a LOT of them (106 reviews) for this drive, mostly negative. I know there is a negative bias in online reviews generally, but this feedback is way more negative than I would expect. Looks like the Petrol was a bad choice.
