    Really Happy

    The Western Digital drives have never left me down. My motherboard on the other hand..........! Bought this because I thought another hard drive took a dive, but it was just the motherboard, Two of the 4 Sata connectors on board, quit working. Installed a 4Sata port card, plugged this in and the system recognized it right off with no problem. I've had faster HDD's but this is definitely A-OK for the money. I currently use this for System backup function. I use it to store: system images(for multi boot OS's), data backup, etc. That is how confident I am in my WD HDD's ability to operate 24/7 without a problem. It runs quiet and efficiently, at an average temp of 48dC. Can't ask for any more really! If you can pick one up at a reasonable price, Why Not? Like I said, I have never ...

    Western Digital Blues

    The seller advertised perfectly, and mailed fast. The drive works for what it is. The drive was purchased to possibly save data by changing out the main board on the drive from this one with a customer drive. Western Digital has a rather lengthy history of bad bios chips which loose their programming. Once in a while you get a dying drive and can replace the electronics with same model, and sub-number and save a drive. But in this case it was a waste of money. Western Digital should offer free data recovery for owners of their junk drives.
