just nice. January 6, 2009
I am very happy with this hard drive, it has a lot of space and it is very fast.
 Month of the living dead hard drive January 6, 2009
First hard drive was dead, too many bad sectors, but the were in the middle of the disk, so I didn't know until I tried to copy files to the drive. Returned it to WD and got a replacement, that one was dead. Returned it, next one was dead. I call WD to complain, they upgraded it to a 640 HD and paid for the return shipping. New drive came and it was dead also. Called and complained again. Now they are sending me a 750Gb HD, but the shippment is delayed. So I got my first HD at the beginning of Dec. and now it's into Jan. and I still don't have a working one. I've bought WD hard drives before and they worked fine, but I'm not going to buy another one for a while. These have all been their blue models, maybe their black models are better.
 drive wasnt wiped clean January 4, 2009
I knew I was ordering an OEM but after installing the HD I found a lot of files and pictures that did not belong to me.(guess from the previous owner) For some reason the drive was not wiped clean before shipping to me. Otherwise the drive is running fine I find it to be quiet. You do need to order a sata cable along with the drive (does not come with one) which I did. Now I had to reinstall XP all over again cause I want a clean computer.
big drive, low price, works great December 31, 2008
I bought one of these (on Amazon) because it was well-rated, 500GB, and a great price. My Dell desktop had only 1 drive (a 40GB SATA), but could take 2 drives. I downloaded the free HDCLONE software (and made a boot CD for HDCLONE), added the new drive, updated the BIOS so that the machine would see the 2nd drive, and HDCLONE mirrored the new drive in about 2 hours. I then removed the old 40GB drive, plugged the new one in as primary, updated the BIOS (really easy), and *poof*, I now had one 500gb drive, a perfect copy of the old one. What could be nicer?
It worked so well that I bought a second one of these and did the exact same thing to my other Dell desktop. Now I'm thinking about getting a 3rd and an enclosure and making my own external backup drive.

Dude, There's Your Car
 With a single tap, Garmin's new nuvi 700s will give their exact location and the location where they were last removed from their window mount. Now, no lot is too big.
