I expected to have problems re-activating my Windows operating system but that went without a hitch. I bought this item to upgrade my custom-built PC and have been very happy with it. I did not want to replace other modules in my computer so this was a perfect choice for me. IDE drives have been overtaken by SATA because of technology advances. It came with easy-to-follow instructions and software for mounting and formatting the unit. The price was very reasonable and delivery from Amazon was good.
I had to go to the website in order to configure it correctly to make it work. The device was delivered on-time and packaged well. It installed easily.
Other than that great drive, no problems installing it, worked like a charm. I ordered this drive to fix a system for my neighbor that had crashed, he told me that this drive actually works much better and faster than the old one, He must not have filled it with clutter yet.
Great upgrade. Disk partition was easy and mulitple partitions finds your data quickly due to the fast seek times. Product arrived as described. Very easy install, and in less than an hour the system was up and running.
To their credit Western Digital rma'd the drive; and I received a refurbished drive.I purchaced another one identical because I needed it right away and could get it sooner than from Amazon. It installed easily, and Windows XP did its formating and installation. Then for some reason, it died. The computer in which I installed this drive was to be a dedicated music conversion machine. If it dies soon, I'll let you know; but so far so good.I do not recommend it too highly, but it could have been an abberation with this model. I ordered this drive based on Western Digital's reputation, and frankly, the limited availability of this type of drive. I am using an older motherboard that was in the transition between EIDE and SATA, but I did not want to move to SATA. The Amazon side was as I've regularly experienced: easy to order, received the shipping in a timely fashion, and experienced no difficulties with the product as it arrived.The drive, however, did not turn out as well as the Amazon order.
