Installation, partitioning, and setup was a breeze. I've never installed a hard drive so quickly. Whisper quiet and very quick access times. I know this is old school compared to SATA, but I'm...
This drive works fine, but be advised that this particular product is not the "retail" version. If you order this you will get a drive in a bag. No cables, no instructions, no software, etc. You...

This drive works fine but was difficult to install. It should have come with an installation disk and did not. Because I was installing it along with other drives, I had considerable trouble...

I thought Dell would be a sure way to get a good product, but they only sent the drive with NO cables or software to go along with it! So I am sitting here looking at it until I get the rest of my...
Plugged it in, runs works.. not much to say about a hard drive that isn't on the bleeding edge of speed. I'm not equipped to judge its power consumption but reviews say its a pretty good drive.
Western Digital's Caviar GP (Green Power) drive is a cut above the competition as far as power consumption is concerned. It takes advantage of an improved seek method for data, as well as a...
First of all ,I am using it on an xp server machine. I cannot boot the pc up with the hd connected . One must boot and then plug in the power to MyBook and let Windows detect it. After googling...
Quite possibly it is pre-formated to FAT32 so your PS3 will recognize it, without your having to search for a program to format it to FAT32 (Been there, done that)
To make a long story short. Bought a new HP, thinking it would be faster than my old Dell. It wasn't...so I bought a new Hard drive, Western Digital, with 8 mb of cache. My uncle told me the 8 mb...
A great mix of performance and price. The Caviar 'BB' series disks from Western Digital are designed to be good, solid mid-level drives with decent all-round performance. The Caviar 'BB' series...
my ibm 75gb 75gxp failed within 3 months.. luckily for me my computer company (XI computers) shipped this hard drive to me and i got this the very next day without the hassle of talking to ibm or...
The only downside to this little unit is the speed. other than that, it's a great little unit.. easy to setup, lots of features. Being based on a linux system, it's easy to find external sites on...

"Drive failed critical functionality, plus poor support"
From the start, this drive was difficult to work with. Although setting up the RAID1 config was easy, It was often unrecognized by windows even after installing and re-installing the drivers. The...
I decided to ignore the negative reviews warning about the noise levels of this and when I found it on a great sale I picked one up. "How loud can it be?" I thought. Well, PRETTY LOUD - and...
Warning Mac users! This device will not accept certain file names containing some characters you can use on a Mac. Result= WD will change your file name after copying to something unidentifiable or...
Very disappointed that the sharespace does not work with external USB drives formatted in NTFS. I?ve had two different sharespaces?s and both exhibited the same problem. Neither sharespace was...
I am truly disappointed in my 4TB Sharespace that I recently purchased. 1. Would not perform firmware upgrade 2. Can't access your files unless you screw around with the settings and change them...
The minute I opened the box I could tell this product had simplicity all through it. And if simplicity is all you want the advanced stuff stays out of your way. However, if you are an advanced...
Despite being one of the biggest hard disk manufacturers Western Digital has had a very low profile with NAS appliances. It dipped its toes in a few years ago with the NetCenter which didn't rock...

I bought this device out of a desire to watch some of my videos on my TV rather than my computer. Set-up is easy. Plug it into your tv, plug-in a usb drive and it works. I have had some problem...
"I don't recommend this device and WD support is AWFUL!!"
I bought this device after hearing good things but my own experience was awful. I connected it to my 1.5TB Seagate hard drive when it had about 800GB worth of video on it and it worked, albeit slow...
There's an interesting new niche market developing in the media player arena as storage companies like Western Digital, SanDisk, and Iomega look for a way to tap the growing number of consumers who...
Tho the cable is recommended by Western Digital's online manual to provide a more secure connection than the usual SATA data and and power cables, my new Western Digital Caviar GP 500 drive is...
WD's "Secure Connect Cable" is a well-executed and pricey product designed to solve a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place. To their credit, it works great: the connection is 10X more...
It's a genuine WD product, specially designed for their SATA drives (both types.) As advertised, it provides a much stronger connection than some of the cheesy cables available. Plus, Amazon's...

This product was great to use once I had my computer buddy set it up for me. Fast file transfer but difficult to do for a beginner level computer person.
I found this NAS drive to be adequate performance and overall a decent investment. The web inteface to configure the device is slow to access despite on a 1GB switch. The folders are renamed to...
As I said, with work you can work your way thru the install for 1 drive, but if you try to install 2 World Edition drives on the same home LAN, using the MIONET software provided, you will find...
I recently bought this hard drive for my PS3 so I could have more room for games. I have had no problems at all with this product, and it has been almost a month with it inside my PS3. Overall, a...
I bought one of these for my HTPC, which seems like a perfect use for it. The drive offers a balance between performance and power consumption, plus it is very quiet.
First drive failed Diagnostics. Second drive from WDC, not the Vendor, was DOA (Drive was referbished, and just off the (re)assembly line. If you yell loud enough, WDC will swap out a NEW one not...
As terabyte capacity hard drives continue to roll out into the mainstream, we're doing our share to keep up with this exploding technology. Today, we're reviewing two more of these super-sized...
I don't think the "$6116-$10841" price range CNET is posting is accurate. I purchased this same drive (OEM) from Newegg for about $130 w/free shipping. I used it to upgrade the stock 60GB HDD...
Western Digital announced that an exciting new model in their Scorpio series of 2.5" hard drives was being launched back in October 2007 ( press release link ). Not only was this new release...
