I needed PATA disks to fit in my Lacie Ethernet NAS device.
The disks came on time (quicker than expected) were new and top condition
The speed of the disks is good and the noise is excellent
I was lucky to get some PATA at a reasonable price

I use it solely for storing TV shows recorded from DishNetwork. I used to have a 160GB hard disk for this purpose. But with my wife and I both recording TV shows to that hard disk, I find that we will run out of disk space in one week if we don’t keep up watching and deleting the recorded shows — this is despite the fact that we are only recording in DVD or lower quality (not recording HDTV to my PC yet). With this 500GB hard disk, I don’t need to worry about this any more, and I can take my time watching the recorded shows instead of forcing myself to watch the shows just to delete them to make room.
When the time comes and I need to start recording HDTV into my PC, I am sure I will get a 1-TB hard disk. Hopefully, by then 1-TB hard disk will price the same as a 500GB hard disk now.

Installation was a breeze. It’s quiet and fast. Very satisfied with it. I used to be a big Seagate fan, but have been disappointed with my last couple of Seagates. I now put Western Digital as my personal favorite.

The hard drive works great. I downloaded clone software from Westerern Digital and cloned my old drive. not one problem. I would purchase a Westeren Digital drive again.

I was very pleased to not only find a new harddrive for my computer, but at such a high Gig count and that outstanding price, things were even better. My item arrived a week earlier than I anticipated which made things even better.
Thank You.
