5 of 5 I love it!! Wednesday, May 06, 2009
A Customer from Live Oak, FL  

Great drive that works perfectly. I purchased a program to clone my system drive to this one and then ran the defragmentation tool. Now it's better than the original (because it's bigger and faster).

5 of 5 Western Digital Caviar Hard Drive 320gb Saturday, November 22, 2008
A Customer from Houston,TX  
Hard drive works perfect. This my first drive that I have installed in a SATA computer.After I realized I had to go to control panel to get to the place where could I initialized and formatted the drive everything worked perfect. Also agree with another post that a sata cable should have been included.

5 of 5 A Customer from St. Petersburg, FL. Tuesday, September 30, 2008
A Customer from St. Petersburg, Florida  
Formatted this 320 G.B. harddrive and installed Windows XP Home Edition then used "Casper" to clone my 80 G.B. Harddrive and transfer it to this new harddrive. This procedure took about 3 hours. All my original data is now on this harddrive and it is a lot quicker than the original. It has been installed now for about three weeks and so far everything is working GREAT. Good Price.

5 of 5 Western Digital 320GB Hard Drive Sunday, August 24, 2008
A Customer from Texas  
I had no problems installing and/or using this hard drive. The only thing I would like to see is an included SATA cable. It did not come with one. The hard drive is fast and quite.

1 of 5 Piece of Junk Saturday, February 23, 2008
Beevis from Ashburn, Va  
This drive failed after only 2 months of use...taking a bunch of data with it to the grave. It's making me work my backup plan to restore the data. I'm going to talk to WD on Monday to see if they will warranty this drive, they probably won't.

4 of 5 If only the drive case had worked.... Wednesday, February 13, 2008
Paul. from Huntersville, NC  
Drive works - I tested that - but the External case I ordered at the same time was as dead as a Dodo - so I RMAd it 2 weeks ago and I'm still waiting..... So Aprt from knowing the drive works - I won't know how it performs until I get a replacement drive case and I can hook it up!

1 of 5 No Software No cables--- No Help Sunday, December 02, 2007
NC from Oneonta,NY  
I tried to install this 320GB HD but only 135GB would be recognized --- calling Western tech-Help they asked me to install unit in another computer ( what if I only had the one) They said if the unit still only came up as having 135GB to return it. I later learned that Sony's Bios were limited ---and a Bio upgrade didn't cure the problem --- I would need a exact match to the HD that I was replacing. There was no software ( software would have to be downloaded from Western) or cables. What seemed like a good buy was not Buy.Com would only replace the unit --no refund.

5 of 5 Great drive...but it needs to be plugged in! Sunday, November 18, 2007
Douglas from Oak Park, CA  
This drive is a great value, ample space, and fast! It would have been nice to find a SATA cable in the box or at least a mentioned that it WASN'T included.

5 of 5 Great drive and great service Monday, August 13, 2007
Keith from Livonia, MI  
The first one I got was defective, which was not Buy.com's fault, as it was still factory sealed. Buy.com issued me a return immediately and re-shipped a good one. So, the drive is working spectacularly and Buy.com has proven itself to be an excellent company to deal with.
