    5.0 out of 5 stars Best size/quality for your pounds, 19 Oct 2008

    The positive reviews you read everywhere assure you this is a good product. From my experience, it's silent, fast and reliable. The best quality/size you can currently get for you pounds.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Fast and massive but randomly lost all data, 3 Mar 2009
    By J. Karamath "Random dealseeker" (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This is indeed a lightening fast, big ol' drive and no mistake. Can't fault it there. Also it comes with a decent length warranty, an item that i cannot stress enough is vital for hard-drives these days. Mine lost all the data I put on it after 3 months (it lost the partition tables I believe, since I was able to recovery the data thankfully, but still very annoying). I could have sent it back due to this warranty but kept the faith and now it *seems* to be working fine. Recommended? Yes, but only cos it has that warranty, the experience has left my faith in Western Digital a little tattered...

    5.0 out of 5 stars poor amazon packing damaged drive, 4 Nov 2008
    be careful when ordering this item, with free super saver delivery it might be sent like my item was in a plain small cd/dvd/book packing carton from amazon and was damaged in transit and when posted in to my letter box it took a big drop shock on to hard floor denting the outer corner of the disk. i have contacted amazon regarding posting hardrives in this poor way and my only hope to other buyers is there took notice of my anger regarding poor packing and delivery of such oem harddrives (non boxed) in the post. diskdrives need care when delivered and not treated in the same manner as a book or dvd. these item need to run for a long time and hold very important data. amazon have kindly sent replacement item out and i do hope there packaged item better as there still sending with royal mail. if not it will be sent back for a full refund.

    you have been warned...
