THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING - GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.

Excellent Value

Easily installed and replaced a smaller drive with no problem. This drive was well worth the price. I added the extended warranty for security and peace of mind.

Works as advertised

What can you say about a hard drive - it either works or it doesn't. This one performs as per spec and I had no problem with its application. I used it as a new primary drive in an older computer to upgrade to Windows 7. Everything went off without a hitch.

I just pruchased this hard drive for my dvr. I plugged it into my laptop and it says NO DVR formatted storage Device Detected. It disables my program that came with it. I have tried to download this with 2 different laptops and it is the same every time. It works fine on the TV but I needed it for the laptop. It is confusing.

Glad to see there is a store out there that still carries PATA drives (no thanks to you Newegg!). Product was shipped very fast, arrived in excellent package and fit like a glove! Immediately detected and BAM, my computer is awesome once again. No noise, no problems at all. Had a Maxtor 160 GB that burned out in 2 years so I really hope Western Digital lasts longer than that. My original Maxtor 15 GB is still going strong after 10 years, must be a QC/QA issue or budget cuts.
