Crash and Burn - Don't Buy it.......2003-07-30

I echo Travis' comments. It came with my Dell PC and took away over 3 Gigs of data (Source Code,Images Documents etc everything !!!) by crashing 1 and half year later. What a waste. Not even worth the single star.

Great!.......2003-04-25

This is the first time I ever bought and installed a hard drive and it was very easy. So far, I am very happy.

It's top of the line, it's Caviar.......2003-03-07

Western Digital (WD) drives have never let me down. Granted, it all depends on the use and environment you install this piece of media - and some prefer Maxtor or Seagate. In the EIDE world of drives, my choice is WD. It's incredibly quiet, very fast (especially when you connect it to an ATA/100 card on a PCI slot -- hot dang!), and allows you a quick solution for increased storage. I used this exact drive to reincarnate an old Pentium class I machine into a nice little file server on my home LAN. With a 100mb PCI network card, it almost competes with a low end Dell server.

It's out there, and I'm lovin' every minute of it!

Never buy this (expletive) harddrive........2002-09-25

This piece of (expletive) destroyed the movie that my friends and I were creating. This (expletive) piece of (expletive) erased a combined 1000+ hours of work that we had put into making a fun 45 minute movie that we had named My Pirate. We were literally five minutes away from finishing rendering and viewing the complete movie for the first time when this mother(expletive)piece of(expletive)(expletive)(expletive) crashed and left us with nothing more than the memories we had. Luckily, we still have the raw footage and we plan on creating a 2.0 version of My Pirate, but my friend...we'll call him Brad Miller to protect his real name...has already invested in another harddrive and we have all learned never to invest in Western Digital ever again. I find it unfortunate that i had to actually give this product a star, its more fitting to rate this with 5 steaming piles of (expletive).

Never ever ever buy this HD, erased all my data.......2002-07-07

I bought this HD one year ago, I had tons of information like my personal files, also 3000 songs, 250 photos, including the last three digital photos I took to my Dad before he passed away, and all are gone. I could maybe forget the whole thing, but I can't have my photos back. I tried to solve the problem, paid money, did everything possible to see if someone could fix it...what a mistake, I can't believe it...
