The drive was (aside from the anti-static bag) wrapped in bubble wrap, enclosed in an envelope. WTF?When it had arrived in Trinidad, I had hoped for the thing to work, but my expectation of the worst had been met.Western Digital, in my opinion is the best HDD manufacturers however, My anger is directed towards the retailer for their atrocious packaging.

July 2011 Edit: but i just gave it 5 stars anyway 'cuz some stalker keeps harassing me about my original 2 star rating. I think he works for WD. Happy Happy Joy Joy. We can all live in peace now.The internal Seagate 160GB 7200rpm HDD in my late 2007 / early 2008 MacBook Pro 15" bit the dust in February 2011. It was acting flakey the prior week so I became much more diligent at doing my SuperDuper backups daily to my external Firewire disk. Google SuperDuper if you need more info.I initially replaced the failed Seagate disk in my MacBook Pro with this 5400rpm 500GB Western Digital Scorpio Blue drive. Although it worked OK, the WD drive seemed slow to respond at times when clicking on a program icon or even an email within my Thunderbird email client.I would often get the Mac spinning color wheel before a program would launch. I doubt that this was due to the rpm speed differences between the drives. I can only speculate that there may be an aggressive power saving feature embedded and enabled in the WD drive's firmware causing it to spin down and stop frequently. I cannot verify this but I can say with certainty that the Hitachi Travelstar 2.5 Inch 500 GB 7200 RPM SATA II 16 MB Cache Internal Hard Drive 0S02858 does not do this in my MacBook Pro. YMMV.The Hitachi disk responds immediately upon clicking a program icon or opening a document, reading an email, etc. No more waiting on that spinning color wheel before the disk responds. The Hitachi is also faster than the WD at opening and loading applications (excel spread sheets, word processing docs, PDF files, etc.) as it should be at 7200rpm vs 5400rpm. But again the biggest improvement is in it's initial responsiveness.Again, I tried both the WD and Hitachi disks in my late 2007 / early 2008 era MacBook Pro 15" and the Hitachi is hands down the better performer by a wide margin. YMMV in your particular setup but what I described above is what I experienced first hand in my setup.

I got the hard drive in the mail and it did not work. I am very disappointed in this product. I had to return it. I don't know if I will purchase another hard drive from this manufacturer or this supplier.

I bought this product out of necessity. After only a year the Hard Disk Drive that came with my PS3 became corrupted and my PS3 could not fix it. So I bought the 250 GB HDD and I'm very glad I did! My PS3 obviously has more memory now, but along with that it is running even better than before. Very good product if your looking to replace or upgrade the Hard DIsk of a PS3

This replacement hard drive works fine on my Inspiron 1525 laptop running windows 7. When I first put the HDD in I was really concerned that it might be defective because when it started idling, a very audible and annoying click from the arm could frequently be heard as the drive spun down. At first I thought it was the "click of death", but later found out that this drive's firmware makes it spin down after a few seconds of idling to save power. To fix the problem I installed "quiethdd", and haven't heard any clicking yet (however, the drive will be constantly running). The spinning of the drive is a bit noisier than others I've heard, but reading and writing data is pretty quiet. Otherwise, it is a great drive for the price with 320GB. I am satisfied.

Contrary to what other people have said, I would not recommend this drive for a PS3. Get a different brand of drive if that is how you plan to use it. This drive will work fine on a Windows computer but the drive's power management doesn't play nice with the PS3 and causes frequent 5-10 second pauses in games and the XMB. I have also read that a similar problem occurs when using this drive in a Mac.The problem is that the drive's firmware constantly trying to park the drive head and spin down the platters after 4 seconds of disk inactivity. The next time the PS3 tries to access the disk, the XMB or the game will freeze while the PS3 waits for the disk to spin back up. This is a known issue with WD's Scorpio green and blue drives. Google for WD aggressive head parking and you will find lots of forum posts on the subject.For those of you who are already stuck with this drive, there is a solution, but it might void your warranty (you have been warned!). WD released a utility called WDIDLE3 that will update the drive's firmware to disable the idle timer. WD says it is only intended for certain drives, and this drive isn't one that they officially sanction for use with the utility. Google for WDIDLE3 and you will find the utility on WD's web site. Next, you need to go to your PC and make a DOS boot disk or USB stick (you can find instructions by googling for DOS boot disk). Copy the WDIDLE3 utility to the disk you create. Next, take the drive out of your PS3 and hook it up to your computer. Make sure you disconnect all your other drives from the computer first! Once it is hooked up, boot into DOS using the disk you created. Run "WDIDLE3 /r" to find out how long the idle timer is set to (mine was 4 seconds). Now run "WDIDLE3 /d" to disable the timer. It should report that it has been disabled. Now put the drive back in your PS3 and TA-DA, no more annoying hangs.Another reason to do this: constantly parking and unparking the disk can wear out the mechanism and cause the drive to fail prematurely.If all this sounds like a pain, let me assure you, it is! But if you unknowingly bought this drive for use in a PS3 or Mac, these instructions might help you.

This was the OEM drive in my Acer Aspire One 722, got it for Christmas and the drive was dead in 3 weeks from occasional use. Drive started to make a click noise that would happen about every 30 seconds. I thought it was odd, but everything appeared to be fine. Upon trying to start it up later on that day, it was dead, and even though the drive would be recognized by Windows, it would not boot. What's worse is that bring an OEM drive, Western Digital will do nothing for me even though the drive states when it was made, September 2011. So 4 months ago tops. Only option is to send the entire laptop to Acer, which is honestly out of the question, as I am not going to risk further damage to the laptop due to shipping back and forth.I've had WD drives fail in the past, in HP's I used to own, and no longer buy WD products, for just this reason.

I was 100% satisfied up until the day it overheated and seized at the ripe old age of 30 months. I expect 60 months minimum service from a hard drive.

Purchased in March, took almost 2 weeks to receive. Really Slow Shipping!! Hard drive ran for 3 months and died suddenly (lost what I was working on when it crashed) is under warranty, I shipped it this morning back. What a hassle, I hope the next one last more then 3 months, If they send a replacement. No Impressed with Amazon....

I have always thought WD was a great manufacturer for HDs but this model turned out to be a crappy one. I have gone through 2 of them in less than a year, Im going to try another brand.

Ok I brought my first Western Digital 320GB Scorpio Blue SATAII 5400RPM drive to upgrade an 80 GB Playstation 3. One extra small phillips head screw driver, five tiny little PS3 screws and 14 minutes later my old 80 GB PS3 had a new lease on life. My PS3 now has an upgraded 320 GB of storage and man it is like so totally out of this world. It was easy to do. The PS3 system if anything is faster than it was before. I am a clutz with tools since I have cerebral palsy and brain damage. Upgrading the PS3 hard drive was so easy even I could not screw it up.The new Western Digital 320GB Scorpio Blue SATAII 5400RPM drive is quiet enough for my purposes as it is certainly no louder than the little 80 GB drive it replaces. The price was great. I went to local stores in the Baltimore Metro area and there was not a 320 GB drive to be found in the so called big box electronics stores. However as is usually the case Amazon.com has items in stock and ready to ship that so many local stores run out of. Once I realized how easy it was to upgrade a PS3 hard drive with one of these 320 GB SATA 2.5's for totally monster storage I upgraded my two remaining PS3's to Western Digital 320GB Scorpio Blue SATAII 5400RPM drives in a heartbeat.Heck so many people started asking me to upgrade their PS3's to the Western Digital 320GB Scorpio Blue SATAII 5400RPM drive that I had to buy a fourth Western Digital 320GB Scorpio Blue SATAII 5400RPM drive so I could back up people's PS3 data to a mini storage device that has you guessed it a Western Digital 320GB Scorpio Blue SATAII 5400RPM drive inside. I have yet to upgrade a PS3 system to a 500 GB drive but soon as I do I will let you know. Upgrading a PS3 system to a bigger Western Digital 320GB Scorpio Blue SATAII 5400RPM is so easy an autistic werewolf like me can do it so for you folks it should be a snap.

I was very skeptical when I started shopping for hard drives that would work with my MacBook Pro. I was looking for a good quality drive that would last me quite some time. After some extensive research, I landed on this product because of the high quality of reviews and the competitive price. So far I've used this drive for 2 months and I have not encountered any problems.I chose to upgrade from my old 200GB HDD to the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500GB because I wanted the extra space. This model has the 5400 RPM which is not as fast as the 7200 RPM hard drives, but it did the trick for me. After two months of consistent use, I am very satisfied with my purchase and am considering getting an additional one as a backup of my current hard drive.In order to successfully clone my hard drive, I purchased a separate enclosure (2.5" HDD Enc USB 2.0). The process took approximately 3 to 4 hours to complete. The process was pretty seamless, and as advertised, the product was very quiet and did not make a lot of noise. I cannot hear the hard drive running on my computer.Installing the hard drive to my MacBook Pro was not an easy thing to do (which explains the 2 stars for Ease of Installation), but that has more to do with the computer than the hard drive.Of course, this hard drive (and like all other HDDs) require to be treated delicately because of how it works and its construction. I do not recommend shaking the product around both outside or inside any device.As a whole, I would recommend this product to people who are planning on upgrading any of their devices' hard drive space or to use with an enclosure.

I bought a Lenovo X100 computer for my wife, and it came with this drive. The computer came with a 1 year warranty, and typically, after 1 year, if they didn't fail, they tend to last at least 2 years. Not this one. A month after warranty expired, the hard drive stopped working. From one second to the next, it won't even recognize the drive. I checked for the WD page, to see if the disk would be under warranty (typically they guarantee 5 years of normal operation) and no, they tried to upsell a "loyalty program" - not nice when you just lost all your data.Needless to say, everything in the disk is gone forever, including documents, photos, etc. So I cannot recommend this drive based on my experience. It might have been a defective unit, and based on reviews it may be bad luck.

About two years ago I bought a netbook for school. Every thing was great until two months ago when my sister dropped it from about 5 feet high. The hard drive started making unusual noises until it died and wouldn't boot up. I took the hard drive out and cloned it to my external hard drive, defraged my external drive but I was only able to recover 3/4 of the netbook's hard drive. I ordered this product because it was the same one that failed on me. product came fast with no defects. When I got the new drive I installed it on the neetbook and it recognized it right away. I then created a windows 7 starter bootable usb and now my computer is back to the way it used to be thanks to this new hard drive.

I have a 80gig PS3 and have been using it for more than four years. I decided recently to cave in and buy a larger hard drive upgrade for it. I been using it for a few weeks so for and its been smooth sailing, all files, videos, music, etc. have transferred over and it's like my old 80gig.... just with 200+ more storage.PS: I purchased a 32 gig usb to aid in the back-up and transfer process so I recommend that method for those that do not have a external hard drive to back up their data.

This came to Utah within 2 days, I just installed it into my Asus Eee netbook and loaded windows 7 on there via USB. Very quiet and just what I expected. It's the exact same hard drive the computer came with, and while I keep my computer on almost all the time and sometimes don't shut down properly, the hard drive crashed less than a year after I got the netbook new. Hopefully this lasts longer...

i will make this short as possible. i own a macbook that i bought in 06' that i used heavily during college. it was the first ones with an intel processor and last summer the hard drive crashed. well i finally got around to fixing it and i searched amazon for a decently priced hard drive and came across this one. received it and popped it in and it works great now. for people looking to fix an old mac laying around and you want to do a fresh install of mac os x then hopefully you read this. since i got a new hard drive and already have another mac that is my main computer hence why i did a new install of the os. to do this you will need a screw driver size 000 and a torx wrench size t8.1. take the battery out.2. unscrew the three screws that hold the L shaped metal retainer. behind that retainer is where you can pop the ram out and on the left side of that is where you can pull the hard drive out.3. pull the white tab and the hard drive comes comes out.4. unscrew the metal casing that houses the hard drive with the torx wrench and put it on the new hard drive.5. put the new hard drive in.6. boot up your macbook and either a) put in the mac os x install cd or b) hold the option key if booting the os from a external hard drive/flash drive.7. the install will start and you have to go up top to Disk Utility.8. disk utility will find your new drive and will be listed on the panel to the left.9. select the hard drive and you have to ERASE it. doing so will format the drive.10. go back to the install setup screen and it will ask you to to select the drive that you want to put the os on.11. it'll display your drive. select it and you're done.
