The drive is quiet and I am quite happy with the new WD drive. The Data Life Tools program made the whole process very easy. Again everything went perfect.
Originally, I wanted the 250GB hard drive to replace my original 80GB. These issues had nothing to do with the drive itself. I chose this SATA drive for my Dell 8400.
So I reinstalled the 80GB as the boot drive and added the WD as a second storage device. I wish everything in my life would be this easy. I cleaned and did a defrag on the original drive and the install of the new drive went perfect.
However, I discovered issues with the Microsoft software (XP, Outlook 2003 and Word) that I could not resolve.
Also, WD's product description and box state that the drive is compatible with Windows Vista but, version 11.3 of WD's "Data Lifeguard Tools" CD that was was enclosed with the drive, does not provide support for Vista systems. Drive worked as expected once installed. WD's on-line product description (on WD's web site) said that it came with all hardware but, a SATA power cord adapter is not included and, must be supplied by the user as there is no standard Molex style power connector.
Excellent product, it's really quiet, after I installed it, i unplugged the fans of my computer, it was hard to say that the pc was even on.Great speed alsoOverall really nice product
I was pleasantly surprised KD Sales associate spent time on phone to see if he could locate comparable unit for my needs. I opened package and had a problem with the wrong chassis for the external memory I was trying to hook up. Tiger Direct took the unit back and credited me.
Returned Item and got a full refund within a few days. And I would need and IDE harddrive. I bought this harddrive for my sister to replace one that had gone bad. After I got it, the person that was going to install it told me that it wouldn't fit.
