good !! December 1, 2008 Arqdia (Chihuahua, Mexico) 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.
So far so good... November 24, 2008 G. Yarden (NYC) 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
Excellent Hard Drive!! November 19, 2008 Joe (Philadelphia,Pa.) A great replacement hard drive! However, you will need a free SATA power connector(there is no legacy connector).
Works as Expected November 10, 2008 J. Jacobsen (Columbia River Gorge, USA) 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.
500 GB Western Digital Hard Drive November 9, 2008 R. Swain 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
