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.
I have had it for about a month now and it is working great. Installeded it with no problems. Great price for this hard drive. Received it in short time and it came with a CD for installation.
Mac users beware. I'm sure this is a fine hard drive but if you own a Mac running system OS X 10.2 or above, you will need to purchase additional hardware to install it. It is rather difficult to discern that until you open the box.
