   This drive arrived in plain brown paper packaging WITH ABSOLUTELY ZERO INSTRUCTIONS, OR DOCUMENTATION, OF ANY KIND. No setup DVD. NOTHING. I haven’t gotten it to work. Furthermore, it’s input jack was inconsistent with what was required for the Dell Inspiron 1100 I had hoped to update with it. I have yet to find any use for it, but because nothing could be discovered before ripping off the sealed bag it came in, it cannot be returned. I would advise that you NOT buy this drive.

   Western Digital + Large Compacity = How could you go wrong? This is the Best reviewed hard drive and is recommended for the MacBook Pro, if you are unfortunate to own one.

   I ordered this drive, and went through the painful install process on my Macbook Pro (Intel Core Duo). The drive was DOA. But of course, I assumed that I had done something wrong, so I went through the trouble-shooting process, which, if you’re thorough, involves uninstalling the drive, putting back the original and booting up, then taking the MBP apart and RE-installing the WD drive, just to be sure I didn’t have a loose wire or something the first time. After doing this TWICE, I realized that the drive was dead on arrival, and had to return it. Amazon does make it easy to return- for that I give them two stars. I *may* try again to re-order this drive and see what happens, but I’ll have to schedule about 3 hours for the process, just in case. Ridiculous. If I can find a similar drive from someone else, I’ll probably order that, instead.

   This drive died after only three weeks!!! Where’s the quality control? tick tick tick tick tick… I’m never buying a Western Digital product again.

   The install was easy and the product seems very quality, but after initial format and system set-up on my PS3, with nothing saved or transferred to the new drive, there was only 260GB remaining. Still a lot, but where did 60GB go? I saw that someone had dropped to 300GB available after install, which I thought was OK, but 60GB seems like a bit much. 4 stars for the missing 60GB. Almost gave it a 3, but I’m giving the benefit of a doubt for whether it was the drive’s fault, the PS3 firmware, or my own.
