Customer Shopping BuZZ
Good drive but poor packaging
Pro:
Low power consumption. High capacity. Quiet. Thanks for the SATA-I jumper. My motherboard (ABIT VT7) recognizes this HD right away with 1.5Gb/s speed. I should be able to use this drive in the future when I upgrade my MB.
Con:
I took and attached a picture of the packaging. Looks like Amazon standardize the package by putting the HD with only TWO bubble wraps in a small box. I ordered some other items so they just put this small box with other items in a big box with ONE bubble wrap.
Overall, I'm not satisfied with the package. Amazon should put more bubble wraps or even foam around the HD to create more buffers. I can feel the HD is shaking around inside the small box because it lacks of bubble wraps
Other:
* I bought this HD in Amazon because I saw Vinogh posted the picture and the packaging used a great foam around the HD. But, it's no longer like that now. Amazon has same poor packaging but higher price than another famous on-line retailer.
* It should be a 5-star product but I reduce one because of the packaging.
* The HD was made in Thailand on 04/10/2009. The HD was running through the diagnostic software in both Windows and DOS environments. No problem.
Great Value
Installed this HD over A month ago, first thig I noticed was it's super quiet can't even tell it's running. Transfer speed is amazing, I'm A hardcore gamer and I can run the newest games with all options maxed and still get A consetant 100 to 150 FPS simply put you can't go wrong with western digital, especally at this price
Works great in Tivo HD
I bought this to upgrade my Tivo HD from its standard 160GB WD drive. I first tried a Seagate DB35 750GB which was a disaster (lots of skipping, popping noises and would become very hot). This 1TB WD drive seems to be working great without any issues in the Tivo HD. Bonus: It is both quieter and cooler to the touch than the original Tivo drive.
