Bought this drive to upgrade an older Dell XP technique with a 20GB original WD tough drive. I downloaded the totally free Acronis disk managment software program from the WD internet site, cloned the old drive employing an IDE-to-USB cable, installed the new one, and was up and running once more in an hour. This drive is considerably quieter than the older drive and seems to perform flawlessly. The drive came securely packed in bubble wrap and a cardboard box. It's a nice product. The lack of documentation for this OEM challenging drive is genuinely of no concern due to the fact the WD site has all of the important support info. An superb choice to preserve an older machine running.

Product was represented extremely nicely and worked as I expected. While the parts I ordered had been received in great condition when they arrived, the shipping box was partially crushed leaving me to think improvements could be made in the packing/shipping dept. I certainly recommend performing organization with this corporation based on my private experience!

Cost. four drives purchased, three utilized so far, 2 failed inside a few days. WD is normally solid so I'm not sure what's going on here.

I bought this drive to replace an old Toshiba drive in my server that failed. I bought this drive due to the fact it was the cheapest Western Digital IDE tough drive I could locate. I prefer WD simply because I've had no difficulties with them. I have a ten year old pc with a little old WD challenging drive, that difficult drive is nonetheless working well. This hard drive has worked well for me. I've had no troubles with it. None that I have seen so far. I really like it. If you are seeking for a less costly IDE hard drive to replace 1 in an older computer this is a wonderful get. I'd suggest this to friends.

Rapidly, reliable, good for an older method None I purchased this drive in 2005 and only replaced it simply because it didn't have enough storage space. Even under heavy usage for five years it keeps on ticking...I dropped it a couple of times onto a wooden floor and it nonetheless runs well. Only now is it detecting poor sectors at all, which is more than I could say for some other drives I've purchased...would obtain another one if it weren't for the truth that 80gb IDE drives aren't quite valuable now.

Followup post (See "Not SE? Do Your Homework, Please".) The identical Caviar SE I mentioned nonetheless soldiers on; in fact, it's a backup/second hard drive in Mom's current desktop (a refurb Compaq DC7600 running 7 Ultimate x64), as does my Caviar EcoGreen 500GB SATA-3. drive No cons on the drive itself. Barring an odd sort of happening, the drive will most likely nonetheless be running right after the next Presidential election.
