'Bulk Produced' not 'Retail'

Product description must state 'Wholesale' ie no cables, jumpers or instructions. This is NOT a retail package. Just for information - it's unclear from the description. As for the disc, Western Digital makes great products. Alternatively, you can download the Acronis software from their website. As far as I can tell, this software is also very good, if not fully functional. The full version is provided by Acronis for an additional fee. The free version from WD worked for me. Be sure to take…

Pros
  • Rugged Construction
Cons
  • Reliable

Easy, fast and just what you need

This is an old CD and I was worried about what I would get. I use a RAID 5 network device to back up important data. The third drive in the RAID array failed, it was the same make and model as the drive I'm looking at and I was running the RAID array in degraded mode, which prompted me to troubleshoot the issue. The disc was intact when I received it, perfectly packaged and delivered. It was exactly the model that was needed. I put it in my RAID device and enabled the recovery feature and after

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Not as good as it says it is

Used internal hard drives

1. I bought 2 of these hard drives and they were both USED when they should have been NEW.2. A drive has accumulated more than 30,000 hours, which is 3 years of continuous use.3. The other drive had a capacity of over 27,000 across 4 accounts. The packaging was very bad. The drivers were placed in a brown bag with no seals or protection. I can't use these disks as planned. I am extremely disappointed. ONLY POSITIVE: There are no errors on either disc.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Was damaged

Great multipurpose hard drive!

I've had this hard drive in my car for a few days now and am very impressed so far. I bought this drive primarily for some applications in addition to my 2.5" Corsair 60GB Force Series 3 SATA III 6Gb/s SSD - CSSD-F60GB3A-BK which I use as a boot drive and several other applications start, save and run. Overall I was very happy with it. My system recognized the new drive immediately. Even for the Caviar Blue, which should be their mid-range drive, I'm happy with the read/write speeds and…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No performance

Works great for internal hard drives

My Windows 7 desktop computer was unable to "find" the hard drive at startup. I removed the old one and replaced it with an identical one from Revain. The process is not difficult. Replacing the drive is easy. You need a system software disk to run it. You will also need to reinstall your wireless device drivers and reinstall any data you had from a backup source. Great product at a great price.

Pros
  • Many will fit
Cons
  • Long delivery time
