5 of 5 Awesome HD Monday, March 09, 2009 A Customer from Newton, MA
Needed a new internal hard drive to replace my old one that was dying. Arrived quickly and in great shape. It does come OEM, which it states in the title description, but if your computer is already running on SATA connections and you need it replace a current drive than this is perfect. It runs relatively quietly and is as fast as you would expect. Great drive for the size/price. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Good HD at a good price Sunday, December 21, 2008 A Customer from Williamsburg, VA
Bought this HD to upgrade my existing system. Only problem is that it did not come with a SATA cable, which delayed my installation. I discovered that computers with SATA drives provide extra power connectors, because they are "daisy-chained". Sata cables are not - you need one per drive. Once I purchased a cable, installation was a snap and the drive works great. Be sure to check your computer to see if you need a "right hand" or "left hand" SATA cable (depends on the direction the cable runs from the drive to the mother board). Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 No cable Wednesday, August 27, 2008 A Customer from Dripping Springs
Hard drive is quiet and fast. No issues with that, but no cable came with the drive. I did not see "bare" anywhere on the site associated with THIS drive. Overall, great price on a quiet and fast drive. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great HD. It's OEM. Wednesday, July 16, 2008 A Customer from San Jose, CA
I was expecting this is retail package because the product description did not say OEM. End of I have to buy additional SATA cable. Using the HD for my TiVo HD upgrade. The process is very smooth. It's been two weeks and TiVo works great. Was this review helpful?
