Just because a hard drive (Western Digital Caviar Blue 320 GB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive)is capable of handling high G's is no reason to ship it without cushioning! The drive came in a well-packaged brown box, but had no cushioning inside - none, nada, zip, zilch!! The outside box outside did not say fragile either.I suppose it should not be unsafe to rely on this hard drive to store your precious data since shippers will have given the package TLC in its handling of this package. It's not like they throw packages around!

Amazon shipped this hard drive as if it were not a sensitive computer accessory. Airbags were half inflated, some not inflated at all. Box containing hard drive was directly at the bottom with no proctection under it and able to move from side to side, only had 'protection' at the top. I sent it back, didn't want to even test the hard drive. Even if it worked, it would probably malfunction a lot quicker than it would have if it were packaged correctly.

I already had one of these in my computer. I'd been using it for years with no problems, but I was starting to worry that something might happen eventually, so I bought two more and set them up in a RAID 5. All is still going good, I guess. Decent drive, seems fast enough, have yet to see one die.

This drive was bought as a replacement for my wife's computer, whose drive was totally fried. I should have known more before ordering and installing the drive myself. I was not aware enough of the difference between IDE and SATA, so I ordered a SATA drive for a computer with an IDE motherboard. This required adapters to make the new drive work. Once the adapters were installed (correctly, because I made a couple of mistakes along the way) I got it up and running, with the help of our son-in-law. Getting Windows re-installed also was no picnic, even though we had the disk for it, since it did not include ANY drivers for anything. The drive now works fine, and I stress that the problems I had were not due to the drive, which now functions beautifully, giving my wife more storage space than she will ever use.

I ordered two of these drives along with an enclosure that was supposed to provide RAID 0/1 functionality. These drives are excellent, but unfortunately the enclosure would not work properly on my Windows 7 box; the RAID 0/1 functionality did not work.I returned both the disk drives and the enclosure. Amazon made the process very easy, and gave me no trouble whatsoever about returning these items. Amazon is the greatest! They have earned my loyalty!

Great price for this, installed it a couple days ago and had no problems, it is the drive only as has been stated so I recommend you order a 4-pin Molex to SATA Power Connector Adapter(major outlets don't stock these) and a hard drive cable along if you don't already have them.

Got this on the 7th of Jan, and it worked great. Today is now the 27th of Feb and after 5hours of investigating what was causing repeated lockups and frequent freezes on my OS, the culprit reared it's ugly head to be THIS hard drive. I don't know what caused it's now deteriorating health but I'm now on the risk of losing +400gb of important data. I enjoy these exciting times of my life.. If you want to take the chance on the HD good luck.

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 drivesBlack - Highest Performance DrivesBlue - Midrange workhorse drivesGreen - Lower power consumption drivesYou can choose what you need.

Bought this drive as a replacement for a drive that failed. Actually placed the order the same day that I submitted the RMA request to WD for the failed drives. I think I got the replacement for the failed one before the one from Amazon showed up. I knew I would end up with an additional drive, I just didn't expect WD to react so fast.This drive will now start out in my new NAS.... life is good.

Unit was easy to install once I downloaded the installation procedure for Western Digital. Windows XP made it easy by first installing a signature and then formatting the drive. Once formatted it works fine.

This hard disk offers exceptional performance. I had a 500GB disk come standard with my desktop but after I had to reset it to factory settings like 3 times, I just resorted to buying a new hard drive.I knew the hard disk was the problem because I'd had to have a replacement sent to me by HP just a few months after I got the desktop. I kind of blame vista home premium for screwing up my hard disk but wutever.I am now running vista ultimate on this WD hard disk. It runs like a champ. NO problems yet. Everything is running smoothly and so far, no signs of trouble.For those of you having trouble with your computer, if you have vista home premium and a crappy standard 500gb hard disk in there, this may be your answer.

I've tried many HDD brands and I'm partial to WD drives. I've never had any problems with any of them. I still have an old 80 GB EIDE drive until I ran out of room for it and it's several years old. No bad sectors and never a problem. Only retired due to size. This drive is performing as expected. Easy install, no problems. Using it as my primary, multi-boot OS drive. Pretty quiet and would recommend Caviars to anyone.

Vantec NexStar 3 NST-360SU-BK 3.5-Inch SATA to USB 2.0 and eSATA External Hard Drive Enclosure (Onyx Black)Works as expected. Quite. Heat and vibration have not been a problem. These bulk/OEM drives are perfect for enclosures. I used the linked case and it works great. Don't need any cables, screws or jumpers with an enclosure. Cheaper than buying an external hard drive plus gives me the flexibility to use the enclosure with other drives or install this one in another machine. I like it!

If you are looking to replace a hard drive and want to get the best bang for the buck then this drive is for you. It comes in a nicely shipped box with full foam padding and in an anti-static bag. I have a mother board with built in SATA connections so plugging it up with the slim line cable that SATA drives use is so easy a 5 yr old could do it. I also have a 500wat power supply that has a single connector for a SATA drive which also is handy.The best thing is that it's 640gb footprint when formated is still close to that size around 648.89, instead of getting a 500gb HD and having 4.5gb. The speed on this is supper fast for my needs and while it runs at 7200 rpm it is noiseless and runs very cool.All things considered, I don't think you can get a better deal on a drive that is comparable in size, cost, speed and quality. If you are looking to jump into the terabite realm you might want to consider getting two of these and running them as a raid, rather than buying the $95 WD green tb drive listed on this products page. From what I understand Western Digital has three lines of these OEM hard drives, the green, blue and black (I think) where the green is on the slow side and the blue is a bit faster and the black is the fastest. Either way, for a few dollars more, you are better off with a raid setup that gives you something like 1.2 tb while the 1tb after formating will be just under that, thus denying you the rightful claim to say you have one terabite under the hood. Happy computing.

A hard drive is a simple, basic computer component; it either works or it doesn't. I bought a matched pair of these for a NAS/RAID I put together for a client. One of the drives was DOA. I contacted the vendor and never even received a reply. I will never purchase from "Sidian" again. However, I contacted Western Digital directly and they promptly issued an RMA and we affected the exchange simply and quickly. The replacement arrived and there were no further problems. So, my review is this: Sidian as a vendor is on my "do not use" list; Western Digital hard drives I recommend and will buy again.

CAUTION: This is a 3.5" drive - NOT a 2.5" laptop drive. It appeared in my search for "2.5 sata drive 7200" so I ordered it hastily. Amazon was very good about the return, even paying the return postage. So no harm, no foul; Amazon is still great in every way except indexing listings for search. :-)

I bought this drive with caution after reading some of the other reviews, but, there must have been a bad run of faulty disks, previously. It has performed very well for me without 1 problem. It is an OEM bulk drive, but if your looking for software, go to western digital's website. Under support/drivers.. you can download (for free) Acronis True image WD edition (a cloning program and more) and it worked flawlessly. Also there you can download WD's Data lifeguard Diagnosis Tool. It is very handy to quickly test, or fully test, or completely erase a drive to start with a clean slate. However : use the cloning program carefully, because you can accidently wipe out the wrong drive if your not careful, so just pay extra attention when you are choosing destination disk etc... Also the drive came packaged very nicely and was undamaged in any way,on time, thanks UPS !!

As always, WD provides some of the most dependable hard drives on the retail market. Very happy with this drive and the dependable quality. Our radio station puts HDD's to the test with constant Read/Write activity in high volume on a daily basis...proven! Amazon's free shipping on this took a bit longer than the rest of my order, but hey...it's free! If you ever have problems with your WD hard drive, just visit their website ([...]) to take advantage of their excellent RMA replacement policy...I sent in a glitchy 2 year old hard drive for about $5 shipping and received a brand new replacement very quickly...now that's service...and that's another reason why I don't go with any other brands.-Jake in HawaiiWestern Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive 3.5 Inch, 16 MB Cache, 7200 RPM SATA II WD5000AAKS

Yes sata II has a transfer rate of 6 gb/sec however unless you have an ssd hard drive it wont transfer faster than 1gb/sec and original sata is 3gb/sec. so dont think it will make a difference on a mechanical hard drive

I stopped buying bare drives from Newegg because they had poor packaging. Now it is time to do the same from Amazon.The drive was put in a box with two sheets of bubble wrap. The drive was not wrapped in the bubble wrap. The drive was not suspended in inserts to keep it from being banged around.Worse, the two short sheets of bubble wrap put into the box were completely deflated. Not one bubble had any air left in it.So, essentially, this drive was unprotected, just banging around in the box while it was being shipped.

As is usual with Western Digital products, this is an excellent hard drive. I use this in my D-Link NAS-323 backup device, and it works great.It's a no frills drive, but is fast and would be a great purchase for anyone looking for a new SATA hard drive.Be sure to register the drive at Western Digital's website, so you can take advantage of the warranty and software options(you can download utilities and backup software from their site, for free).

Update 2/19/09:Tried to do another exchange from Amazon, and here is what I got:" ....I'm sorry to hear that you experienced the same problem with your replacement shipment.As it seems that the problem with this item is more widespread than we originally thought, we are not able to send another replacement..."Original 2/18/09:The drive is a big disappointment. The first one was defective. After cloning my old hard drive, it worked for a few hours. Then the Windows became very slow and unresponsive. Windows failed to reboot, it reported bad boot sector records.Contacted Western Digital customer support. Downloaded and ran Data Lifeguard Diagnostic per instruction. The tool reported the drive had too many bad sectors, also the write zeros was failed. Returned it to Amazon for an exchange.Just in case my older power supply unit was the culprit, it needed a Molex to SATA adapter to work with the drive, I ordered a brand new 430W Themaltake PSU. After receiving the replacement drive, I first ran Data Lifeguard Diagnostic on it. Sure enough, it again detected the unused drive has too many bad sectors. When tried clone my drive again, it failed half way. Only one of the two partitions was copied over. I used Acronis True Image Home 2009 15 days trial version for the disk clone. Now, my trial period is about up, and I still don't have a working drive. What a joke! Also, the price of the drive just dropped by $5 since I ordered it.It seems these OEM drive have very poor quality control. What is going on???

Perfect price & size for a system drive, it is stable & quiet, I had no problems so far. It's a OEM drive, so don't expect it to come with instructions or cables at all, that's one of the reasons why it has such a fair price.

Having suffered with a measly 40-gig hard drive for the past year, I finally got around to ordering a new one. This solved the problem perfectly. The OEM version (this one) doesn't come with mounting equipment or a cable, but it's very clear that this is the case and I can't complain if they tell you up-front.Mounting it was simplicity itself, and it has worked flawlessly since. It's very fast and completely silent, and I have noticed no increase in my system operating temperature (I have a Dell Optiplex case).5 stars, highly recommended.

Purchased on a deal for $30ish a piece. Now im seeing why they were so cheap. First unit arrives and it does nothing. No windows device will pick this drive up. Acronis doesn't see it either. I figured maybe I needed to format, but it isn't in computer management either so I cant format it effectively.Sent the first unit back and Amazon shipped me a new one. Amazon handled the entire process wonderfully. I'll buy from Amazon again, but most definitely not from WD again. Highly disappointing experience from this unit will drive me back to other manufacturers for years to come.The second drive arrived late last week to the same problems. It isn't recognized by anything whatsoever. So two drives, DOA. Time for a refund!

I have the 500gb version of this drive and WOW is all i can say...for less than $60, i got a quality drive from Western Digital. Check out the pictures i added--they're screenshots of benchmarks/error scans. It performed well, getting close to an average of 100MB/sec read speeds, with speeds up to 115/120MB. This drive runs great, the temperature never really goes above 110F (43C) if you have good airflow in your case. This drive was packed very nicely, in an anti-static bad, and a box with foam cutouts that firmly held it in place, there was no way that it could be damaged during shipping. I would definitely recommend this drive to anyone looking for a great performance drive at a good price. *remember this is the DRIVE ONLY, no SATA/power cables or mounting hardware is included.

I bought the WD caviar blue HD after looking at speed tests on many different webpages. Although it is not as fast as its caviar black counterpart, the difference in speed is insignificant while the difference in price is not (check out www.barefeats.com for tests if you are interested, especially this page http://barefeats.com/hard112.html).The HD arrived and was inside my Mac Pro within minutes. I am using it to back up my main drive and it has worked great. Transfer speeds were really fast, above 80 MB per sec on a sustained 150 GB transfer from one internal HD to the other. To be fair, my old HD was probably slowing it down though. I highly recommend this drive, and you can get it at a great price. I really have nothing bad to report about it. Just make sure you have your own SATA cable if you need it, because the drive doesn't come with it. If you have a Mac Pro you don't need that because when you put the drive into its slot inside the computer it connects when you slide it in (there is a connector right there which the drive plugs into when you slide it in).

The drive is pretty fast and allows for allot of storage room. Amazon needs to learn how to pack a hard drive for shipment! The hard drive arrived in a box with a static bag around it and no protective padding at all!!! My drive is warrented until 2012 from WD and it is already making noise upon spin up. So it looks like I am going to have to ship it back to WD for replacement. I would not purchase this item from Amazon again not because of the drive; but because of the horrible packaging the drive was shipped in.

This unit was intended as storage as part of a NAS system. The unit formatted and worked as expected. The only noticeable distraction is the the hard disc seems to whine while in use. This wasn't a problem for my application as the NAS unit is located where the whine cannot be heard.
