I bought a bunch of these drives when they were "state of the art" (and they
cost _way_ more than $27.00- trust me!) and they run like tanks.
Some of these are approaching 4-5 years old, and they are still running,
albeit not in first tier production systems anymore. I can't recall a single
failure out of approx. 20 of these I bought.
Since I have room, I might have to pick up a some for my 4/630 and 4/670. .
. I also second both points below.

IME good quality 5.25" drives easily out-last 3.5" drives.
YMMV etc. - and whatever you use you should be backing up.
