My PURCHASE WAS FOR A, Western Digital Caviar Green 1 TB Bulk/OEM Hard Dr…ACTUALLY, IS NOT 1 TB; THE DISK IS ACTUALLY A 911 GB HARD DRIVE. BUYERS BEWARE, AS I WILL BE AND I WILL PROBABLY NOT PURCHASE Western Digital AGAIN. I PAID FOR I TB, BUT WAS DENIED.

I am irritated that they never mentioned that cables are not included with the harddrive. I initially thought it was just an error and called amazon and they promised cables with the replacement but when the replacement unit came back, there were still no cables with the device.

For those who don’t know you cannot use your Windows restore disk to format this harddrive. You have to have a full Windows DVD. Luckly I don’t use Windows, I use Linux. My problem with the drive was that it would give me a Disk Boot Failure every other time I started it up. I am sure it is just a defective drive, which happens. My real complaint is that the power saving equals slower responses. I actually got better results from my old Seagate. So I am going back to Seagate. Don’t get the “green” hard drive from Western, get the black. Unless you really don’t want a fast response from your hard drive. I have never had problems with Western drives before, I would say it is just the “green” version that you should avoid.

Hey I can’t complain this was a seemless install and the product has worked great, I guess my only complaint is that you will not recieve the full 1TB of space for use… It yields about 978G which is not what I paid for…this is the only reason for not awarding the full 5 stars
