5 out of 5 stars Excellent Hard Drive!!   November 19, 2008
Joe (Philadelphia,Pa.)
A great replacement hard drive! However, you will need a free SATA power connector(there is no legacy connector).


5 out of 5 stars Works as Expected   November 10, 2008
J. Jacobsen (Columbia River Gorge, USA)
It works very well, and was my first SATA install. The only problem I had was that my motherboard's SATA controller is a couple of years older, and did not support the high data rate of this drive. A jumper was required to configure the drive for the controller, but as this was an OEM package, it didn't come with one. I use Debian Linux with a packaged kernel, and found no problems at all between this drive and the OS.

I received the product in just a few days, which was a +; however, after less than a month of operation, it has become very noisy. I fear that it will die, as my previous Western Digital drive did. It has performed well up to this point.


3 out of 5 stars Drive works ok but vibrates too much   November 9, 2008

I don't know if it's just the one I received but mine vibrates more than normal and causes my computer case to make noise. I think I got a defective one because HDDs are NOT supposed to vibate too much especially 7200 rpm drives. It sounds like the platters or something inside is not balanced hence the vibration. The drive itself does not rattle or anything but it vibrates.


5 out of 5 stars So far so good   November 5, 2008

Purchased this for additional drive in one of my PCs. It's working well so far.
