These drives are susually solid, as Western Digital does a good job. First one, out of the box, was DOA.The second worked fine.BEWARE...these drives from Apex Suppliers are out-of-warranty. I attempted to register the good drive and it was out-of-warranty in 2011.

Feb-2012: if you are thinking about purchasing this drive, please be aware that the drive I received is WD800 (80GB) and not the WD1600 (160GB) as advertised. The replacement drive is also wrong as it probably came out of the same warehouse. The generic box has a label that states it is a WD1600AAJB but the drive inside is WD800AAJB. The serial number on the box label matches what the drive label is, so I think the supplier messed-up and short-changed Amazon. I don't think I can fault Amazon for this problem.

I do not know if the glitch was with the supplier or the Amazon website, but the drive is for a desktop computer when what I ordered was labeled for a laptop. The problem has been fixed on the website and Amazon sent me a return shipping label free of charge and credited me back promptly. There is nothing wrong with the drive, it is of a high quality that we are familiar with in my work.

I have used Seagate, Western Digital, and others, and I like Western Digital drives best. But then again, they all seem to perform equally well. It just seems like the desktops that I buy all come with Seagate drives (Dell computers), and they sometimes die after only 2-3 years.These drives were a good deal for the money when I purchased them. They are still working great, and I'm very happy with this purchase.

Sad to say this drive was dead on arrival. It was purchased as a slave drive. The BIOS reported it as a drive with 0 megabytes. Windows would not recognize it. After much research and fiddling I called Western Digital and they agreed that the drive was dead and they issued a return authorization. They replaced this drive with a 500GB which is working fine, so I have no problem with Western Digital tech support. I guess I just got a bad drive.

Purchased to replace a failing OS PATA HDD from a 10 year old desktop PC.I checked the old manufacturer's manual for the PC and found no incompatibilities.WARNING:Apparently the additional power requirements were too much for my aging PC. My power supply should have plenty of wattage to spare, but power supply wattage supposedly decreases with age.Anyway, the power supply failed to provide enough power and screwed up something on my old Maxtor slave HDD. Oddly enough it started working again after running ddrescue. Finally I had to disconnect the Maxtor slave HDD to keep the new WD HDD happy with enough power.PRO:Still working after 2 months of light usage.CON:Requires more power than previous IDE HDD. ~25% more W to spin-up ~100% more W for read/write ~100% more W for idle standby & sleep are roughly the sameOTHER:OEM WD HDD includes jumper connector, this was as expected.OEM WD HDD does not include PATA cable or mounting screws, but this is also as expected.

So far, I've been through an 80GB, a 160GB, and this 320GB hard drive for my Dell Inspiron B130, the result of 400 YouTube videos and the giant video files generated by the need to create them.I've also bought 2 1TB external hard drives to store those files and started pulling unneeded video files off my internal hard drive to keep things cleaned up. Seems to be working.

I go through a lot of these Western Digial 160GB drives (WD1600AAJB) drive where I work (probably 40 in the past year). With computers, the most common failure is going to be the hard drive. When anything with moving parts is run so hard for so long, failure is more less inevitable. When I do run into hard drive failures with the older PC's, the WD1600AAJB 160GB hard drive has been a great replacement drive. It doesn't come with a PATA/IDE cable, screws or anything like that, but 95% of the people buying this (or more) will be using it to replace a failing drive in an older PC, so that's simply not needed. Options for PATA drives are becoming a bit more scarce these days, so if you need a reliable replacement drive, you're not going to do any better than this one.

This hard drive works well. I've used Western Digital before and they do not disappoint. This is an EIDE device.

My older HP drive was slow, bogging down the system. It was old, filling up,& needed replacement. This 160GB PATA 7200RPM did the trick. I am happy with the service,& got what I wanted with fast response & delivery.

Installed this hard drive to replace OEM Western Digital 40 GB in a 7 year old Dell computer. Drive was totally compatible with existing components. It works as anticipated. The Western Digital 160GB appears faster, however that can be due to the fact that previous HD was nearly at capacity.

Purchased this drive to refurbish an older desktop so it could be used for surfing the web, doing email, etc. Only had the system up & running for a couple of months, but so far... so good.System is nice and stable using WIN XP PRO SP3. Drive is very quiet.Replaced the system memory at the same time with PNY OPTIMA 2GB (2x1GB) Dual Channel Kit DDR 400 MHz PC3200 Desktop DIMM Memory Modules MD2048KD1-400. Original configuration only had 512 MB RAM.

It's Western Digital, does this hard drive really need a review? Works great for Windows 7 Ultimate. And very quiet.

I bought this drive as a replacement for a small capacity drive in one of my Windows XP machines. I went through a lot of effort to reflash the BIOS in the computer to allow a drive of this size to work properly on the machine. Once this was done, the Acronis software worked great to transfer the information over to the new drive. All looked really good until after 14 months of relatively infrequent use it suddently dies with no warning. Now I'm back to using my old drive an I very much doubt I'll bother to buy another replacement.

This hard drive is excellent. We are replacing HDs on older machines in our shop enviroment and these worked excellent. We are imaging the old HD onto one of these. First thing we noticed is how much quieter the old machines are and the boot speeds has increased. The older HDs were definately showing their age. I will definately be purchasing more of these as i continue replacing old HDs.

I installed the harddrive and installed Win7, the harddrive performed just as designed works great I'm happy with the harddrive.I'm not happy with the shipping "Prestige" they delivered to the wrong house and it took some follow-up calls on my part to get the harddrive delivered to the right house misstakes like this are inexcusable.

I purchased this hard drive to replace the 60GB hard drive in my HP Pavilion 742n purchased back in 2002. There was nothing wrong with the old hard drive and it had alot of free space left. The HP system recovery is on the D partition of the hard drive, and not on seperate CDs. If the hard drive did go South, I would have to purchase another operating system. I intended to install the WD hard drive and keep the old one as a back up in the event I needed to re-install the operating system.As stated, this is a bulk OEM package. All you get is the hard drive, no cables or attaching screws.I've been in the computer case before to clean out the dust bunnies from the cooling fans, upgrade the memory, and replace the CD writer with a DVD burner. This seemed to be a little more involved and made me a little anxious. In the end, it turned out to be very easy.The ribbon cable connected to the hard drive had provisions to connect two devices. The connectors were clearly marked with "primary" and "slave." I left the jumper settings on both hard drives to "cable select" and connected the WD hard drive to the "slave" connector. There is a diagram printed on the hard drive showing the jumper settings for the different configurations. I did alot of research beforehand on cloning software and decided to just use the Acronis cloning software available from the WD website. The cloning software will only work if it detects a WD component. It was easy to use and pretty much self explanatory. Once the cloning was done, I removed the old hard drive and attached the WD hard drive to the primary connector.The computer booted right up without any problems. I decided to test out the HP system recovery (pressing F10 when you see the blue HP logo) and it didn't boot into the HP system recovery. It just rebooted back to Windows.From what I could determine, it has to do with the partition configuration, which I haven't quite figured out yet, and frankly don't have any plans to at this point.When you do a system recovery, the computer reverts to as it was out of the box, with all the annoying programs that it came with and none of the programs you installed. I have everything set up just like I want it on the old hard drive. If anything should happen, I can just use it to re-install everything.The hard drive is very quiet, in fact, I can't even hear it!All in all, I think this a great product at a very reasonable price and a great way to update an older computer.

I had one of these for less than a week before it died, the bios would see the drive but windows refused to. I exchanged it for another of the same and the replacement drive does not have the correct size mounting holes on one side-the screws will slide in and out. The replacement also caused failure and data damage to the primary drive in my system. The Windows error checking utility has been running overnight trying to fix the damage cause by this drive.

This drive arrived in a sturdy manufacturers box with the plastic pieces that held the drive firmly and shock resistantly. Popped the drive into the computer and presto, it just worked and it has been chugging away for months now with no issues. Quiet, runs cool, and very fast consistant with the interface.

Everything about the item was excellent. Well packaged, quickly shipped, performs well upon installation. My only problem was upon ordering, the product description said the drive was available in both PATA and SATA configurations(parallel vs. serial). My older computer required the PATA as a replacement hard drive. The Amazon ordering process did not facilitate the specifying of one of the two available configurations. It took various phone calls to Amazon, and emails to the product supplier to assure me the PATA version would be shipped. It turned out well, but this was the first time I encountered ambiguity, frustration, and delay in placing an order with Amazon.com

I didn't have any trouble with the WD 320gig hard drive. It runs very quietly and efficiently, resulting in noticeable performance gain over the old 80gig drive that failed.the packaging was perfect, and delivery was rapid.Once again, Amazon delivered!!

I was looking to resurrect a security camera system that had multiple hard drive failures, but it was too expensive to replace the entire system, and was unable to replace just the computer due to proprietary hardware key to secure the system from unauthorized use. I knew there were limited options as everything has been leaning towards SATA or solid state, plus the company that built the system has since gone out of business, so I figured I'd take a gamble and try replacing the hard drives to get the system back up and running. Knowing that WD made reliable drives, we got the 160GB EIDE drive for the OS and 2 500GB slave drives for the DVR data. I've replaced several OS drives for desktops and laptops, and one of the cool tools you can get from the WD website is Acronis WD Edition, which allows you (with a USB to IDE/SATA cable) to clone your boot drive, and then just replace the old/full/defective drive with the new drive once the cloning process is complete. It's a free download from WD as long as you had a WD drive connected to the computer at the time of install. Given my situation, I also opted for the full Acronis disk management software which was only $50.00, as I had to format everything to work with Win98/FAT 32.With the successful clone/format/install, the security system is back up and running considerable faster, exponentially quieter, and all within a relatively small budget. I've never had any problems with WD internal or external drives, and would recommend them to anyone looking to replace an existing drive, or add additional storage.

I bought this as a replacement for an aging 80gig WD drive that was still going strong after 7 years. I just needed the extra capacity and speed. As always, WD hasn't let me down with this one. I always buy WD or Seagate. They are the best.
