Works fine, lasts a long timeOct 26, 2009
This is a reasonably fast drive, has been reliable, and just works. It seems to me that a middle-of-the-road hard drive is at its best when does what it's supposed to. This drive seems to do just that.
I love Western Digital!Oct 25, 2009
I bought this hard drive to bring resucitate an old workstation that had died on me. 250GB was the biggest drive the Bios and motherboard supported, so I bought this drive.
Had this plugged in and running in 5 minutes (it comes in an OEM package, that means no fancy retail box, cables, or instructions). That's ok, I didn't need that. I plugged this sucker in and was up and running installing Windows 7Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade in 5 minutes.
First and biggest thing I noticed about this hard drive is how quiet the drive is when compared to the old hard drive. That's the biggest difference I noticed.
Overall, I swear by Western Digital drives. They're workhorses.
Just FYI Western Digital has scales of Hard drives
Black - Highest Performance Drives
Blue - Midrange workhorse drives
Green - Lower power consumption drives
You can choose what you need.
Excellent driveOct 19, 2009
Bought it for a build. Attached it using the cable (that came with Motherboard). BIOS recognized it first time. Installed Win 7 (RC) on it and was up and running within 2 hours. No issues.
The only issue is that Windows 7 rates it at 5.7 (and its the slowest rating on my machine).

Amazing for 38 dollars shippedOct 15, 2009
I got this on some kind of fire sale for about an hour where the 640gb blue was on sale for 38 dollars and free shipping. As far as I can tell it works great (I put in in the gfs computer as the main drive using Arconis true image).
If its ridiculously on sale buy it, if not the egg has better deals on harddrives
