I wonder if the new ice pack, firmware, etc provide any substantial improvements in performance. Any chance we could compare this one to the new model?

Yes Dan(s). You’ll even notice this uses the old IcePak. They are great drives though!

This was more of a transfer of the review from our old site. It was actually the old model. We wanted to move it over so that we could reference it in an upcoming review.

I am suprised about the timing of this review. These drives have been out for quite some time. I have been running a pair of them in RAID 0 for about 6 months with the Win 7 Beta and now the Win 7 RC. The performance and stability is amazing!
