Great for a laptop who needed a bigger hard driveNovember 22, 2008 I got this hard drive for my satellite A205 because I needed more room for my media files. This hard drive was easy to install, its faster than the one I had before, and quieter. Vista gave it an Index score of 5.1 for performance. Great buy at a great price, i highly recommend it.
PS3 Drive ReplacementNovember 13, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this to replace my 40GB drive in my PS3. The physical install went flawlessly. However, I did have to download the latest system on my PC and then install it on my PS3 before it could reformat the drive. This shouldn't of happened and I may have down something wrong. In any case this was no fault of the drive itself and once the latest system was installed everything went fine. I've been using it about a month now and so far so good. The extra space can't be beat.
Western Digital WD 250gb 2.5 inche harddriveNovember 3, 2008 It is a great harddrive it works so well that i get excited thinking about it when i store stuff on i as for storage,that you very much.
Bought for my PS3..November 2, 2008 I really don't have too much to say about this. It's a hard drive. It is very quiet in my PS3 and runs cooler than the 20gb that came with it originally. The extra space is very nice if you use your PS3 as a media center(Music, Videos, Pictures). For the price you can't beat this drive.
Very noisy- thicker than many drives Getting disk errorsOctober 19, 2008 I originally upgraded a Toshiba Satellite with this drive. It seemed to work fine, but runs very hot and very loud. It was so loud I decided to swap it out for a Toshiba drive and use it just for backup. That's when I found that in three weeks this drive had already developed significant sector errors (normal cloning software failed). This probably also explains why the number of times I had to do multiple start-ups to get windows running seemed to have increased on this pc. In checking my files I had to recover quite a few from my backups. Now I am suspicious of it even as a backup. I would recommend the Toshiba drive instead. It runs cooler, quieter, and seems to create less errors.
