4 out of 5 stars good !!   December 1, 2008
lots of people dosnt like WD... i dont like it too.. but its very cheap, and works fine.

so if you are running very important things or documents, dont store them in a WD. lol.

i am taking risk here, because this is my primary storage device, and i have lots of work. but dont have money for a better HD, this is like an act of faith.

working pretty nice so far. hope it does much much longer.



4 out of 5 stars So far so good...   November 24, 2008
Quick delivery - easy install - so far so good. Definitely seems like a noticeable performance improvement - using in an early generation G5 iMac with media and office apps


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Hard Drive!!   November 19, 2008
A great replacement hard drive! However, you will need a free SATA power connector(there is no legacy connector).


5 out of 5 stars Works as Expected   November 10, 2008
It works very well, and was my first SATA install. The only problem I had was that my motherboard's SATA controller is a couple of years older, and did not support the high data rate of this drive. A jumper was required to configure the drive for the controller, but as this was an OEM package, it didn't come with one. I use Debian Linux with a packaged kernel, and found no problems at all between this drive and the OS.

I received the product in just a few days, which was a +; however, after less than a month of operation, it has become very noisy. I fear that it will die, as my previous Western Digital drive did. It has performed well up to this point.
