I've been playing with it for two days and still can't get the software that came with it to recognize that the hard drive is there. Take my advice and stay with Western…

Maxtor L01P080 7200 rpm 80 GB hard drive keeps what it promises. When you take out the box and open it, you'll see clear instructions as to what purpose you're going to use it for, i.e. as a master or slave drive.
