Download Data Lifeguard Tools from WDC support first [Posted on 2007-07-29]
Purchased this drive to replace a smaller 13GB slave unit (also a WD drive that had worked flawlessly for over 8 years but was unable to keep up with the storage demands of our new 7MP digital camera). The package contained only the bare bones drive unit itself, no documentation, no software, nothing else. That was fine for my case but could cause concern for some first-timers. I first just set the jumper on the new unit to the slave position, changed out the drives and restarted the system (Window XP Home). The new hardware detection ran OK and the new device showed up as operating correctly in Device Manager, but it was not visible in My Computer because it was not yet partitioned & formatted. After downloading the "Data Lifeguard Tools" program from the Western Digital support web site, and running the program to modify the registry for high-capacity drives, restart and partition/format process, all was well.

I had it for over a month and I don't have a problem with it.
Ease of installation [Posted on 2007-09-18]
This product has worked flawless in my ancient IBM computer. If you cannot install this extremely easy to install hard drive by using the old cables then please do not knock this Product. It is simplified and very easy to plug in two cables and place the old rails onto the new Product. I would advise that you disconect the power cable to your computer before installing this hard drive. Excellent Product for the money.

This was an upgrade for my G4 iMac. The HD was full and I still had a lot of life left in my trusty iMac. This was a good value for the price and installed very easily. I Partitioned it for the Mac and the rest was seemless.

Required reformatting. This would have taken forever if I hadn't had another puter to connect via USB. Othewise perfect. Flawless. I'd buy more. Wait... I have bought more already. Good drive. Go for it.
