lots of people dosnt like WD... i dont like it too.. but its very cheap, & 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, & i have lots of work. but dont have money 4 a better HD, this is like an act of faith.
working pretty nice so far. hope it does much much longer.
Rating: 4 of 5 So far so good...
Quick delivery - easy install - so far so good. Definitely seems like a noticeable performance improvement - using in an early generation G5 iMac with media & office apps
Rating: 5 of 5 Excellent HardDrive!!
A great replacement harddrive! However, you will need a free SATA power connector(there is no legacy connector).

It works very well, & was my first SATA install. The only problem I had was that my motherboard's SATA controller is a couple of years older, & did not support the high data rate of this drive. A jumper was required 2 configure the drive 4 the controller, but as this was an OEM package, it didn't come with one. I use Debian Linux with a packaged kernel, & found no problems at all between this drive & 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 WesternDigitaldrive did. It has performed well up 2 this point.
