Hard drive went in daughter’s computer, this one worked perfectly as a replacement. We had someone put it in, but watched & it was so simple we could have done it ourselves. Got her computer up & running in no time!

This drive became corrupt while installing an OS on it. It basically died before I could even utilize it. Exchanged it for a new one and so far it’s been working flawlessly. Installed Windows 7 on it and have been using this drive exclusively for over a week now with no problems whatsoever. I will edit this review if it ever dies again…

I have received in time at home! This product works great, i just had some problems with installing, because i thought it was just plug and play… i had to install a Windows and format it, to use like a secondary disk with my old IDE 40GB HD

It was easy to format and install Ubuntu 9.10 on this drive. It’s very fast and quiet. Picasa imported 49,000 photos at top speed. It’s currently storing 60 GiB with no errors.
The drive was healthy with no bad sectors. It passed the extended self test. All SMART data was in the green.
Packaging was a simple cardboard box, but it had folded cardboard spacers to center and hold the drive half an inch from the top and bottom, 1 inch from the sides, and 1.5 inches from the front and back. Amazon shipped it in a larger box with an air cushion. The drive had a well sealed anti static bag.
I’m very happy with the product. It made a good first impression. I’m using Ubuntu’s file encryption and everything still feels fast. It’s working well with a first generation SATA motherboard. I didn’t need to add any jumper. It appears to fly along at top system speed.
