Although I would love to see a Momentus XT 3TB 3.5 model some day
Expensive. DiscWizard software slightly clunky.

Much More Expensive than somewhat slower
Similar capacity drives
Expensive
SATA 6Gb/s interface yields negligible performance gains
Activating SATA 6Gb/s interface on current motherboards prevents dual-GPU operation
Performs better on 3Gb/s SATA

Higher Price Than Other 2TB Drives
