Pretty good product and excellent product support [Posted on 2008-06-23]
It's a good drive so far. I have a Mac Pro and had two of these installed already. I was using them to store my movies and photos. Luckily I had them configured using Leopard's built in raid software where all the data is automatically shadowed to the other drive. A week after I ordered this drive, as an upgrade to another computer, one of these hard drives in my MAC pro, failed. Luckily, because it was in the RAID configuration, I did not loose my data. I've learned my lessons over the years and backup-especially of assets like digital photos is very important--I anticipate some disasters. The good news is, the drive was still under warranty, so I shipped it back to Western Digital and they send me a replacement the next day. I'm very pleased with the customer service and i've had many WD drives over the years and this is the first one that went south.
Great product, arrived early, poor advertising on Amazon's part [Posted on 2008-07-12]
Purchased two 500 GB drives and configured them in a RAID0. The hard drives work great and the price is much cheaper than the brick and mortar stores.
However, the drives arrived OEM (ie. no fancy packaging, no written documentation, just the drives). Could not find any indication on the website that these drive were sold as OEM. The drives are new, and it's no biggie to me, but if you're not savvy on hooking up SATA drives to your PC and you need some instructions, warranty docs, or written specs, then buyer beware! Amazon doesn't seem to openly advertise their OEM products.

I have yet to install this product, so I will update my review when I do.
Delivery of this item occurred two days after its purchase. The product came in a sealed box and was of excellent condition. The product is as advertised.
Closing remarks: great service, exceptional delivery time.
Good deal [Posted on 2008-07-18]
The item shipped in a reasonable time for super savor shipping (less than a week). I installed the drive, formatted it and already used about ΒΌ of its space (videos).
You do have to get a cable (around $8.00) and mounting hardware (4 screws), but this seems to be a good deal.
I can remember when we thought that $1 per gigabyte was cheep. This drive comes out to around 15 cents per gigabyte.
I will have to wait to check on the longevity, but I have always found Western Digitals to be good quality drives.
All in all a good deal!
