Depends on your needs. If you need a portable one, ie, powered from usb when no mains socket available, then sure, its ok. Otherwise you can get 3-400gb powered (needs power from mains) for around 100e if you look around hence making 160gb bad value. Dont worry about the cache and RPMs, theyre fine.
