Summary: works well, included software helps
Comment: It seems like after a couple of years no matter what you had before you always outgrow your hard drive. I had put together a computer for home use a few years ago (P4) with a sata 1 motherboard. I was too cheap at the time to do Sata and did a 120gb eied drive instead. It worked OK but was getting full of pictures and I was experimenting with video, and my son started putting on 5 and 10 gb games. I replaced the drive with this new Sata2 drive with only a couple of glitches. It turns out you need to uninstall office 2007, use the included copy software to coppy the drive, and then reinstall office 2007. The copy protect makes office not work quite right and I could not uninstall it and reinstall it after it was copied onto the new drive. Fortunately all the files for outlook worked once I reinstall Office. And my Office 2007 boots up at least 2x faster. The other glitch was I needed to use the jumper they supplied to make it SATA1 for my motherboard. They tell you what you need to do and then tell you wont have to because it is automatic (not). All in all it gives me pleanty of space and my system boots and runs a lot faster.

Summary: Fair price - works as advertised - received it very fast
Comment: Got this very fast
These caviar hard drives seem to be reliable. I have a 350 and two 250mb that are almost 2 years old and two 250mb that are almost a year old and two 500mb that are over a month old. So far so good

Summary: Drive Dead after 2 months--all data lost
Comment: Horrible drive. Steer clear, of this product...it is unreliable. The drive is unreadable and all my pictures and video are now lost. I wish I could sue these junk manufacturers for all the time they caused me to flush down the toilet. All the hours would come out to thousands of dollars. Rediculous and very disappointing.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Second buy, second dissapointment
Comment: My experience comes from a few months back, but I guess it's worth mentioning. Throughout the past 10 years, I've only chosen WD drives twice, one back in the 2GB days and one of these a few months back. Sadly, the first one ended with a major multiple sector failure and this one with a critical failure with SMART warning. This drive only lasted me about 3 months, so as of this date, this brand has failed me 100% of the time. I'm back to Seagate drives now.
