I have been using Western Digital drives over the years(owned about 6), they have been very reliable for me and I highly recommend them. I ordered this drive installed it partitioned it in 3 parts and have had no problems with it. It is very quiet and love it's performance.I intend to purchase another one when I get the chance.
What an inredible price to capacity ratio!

Man oh man, what an incredible Price to Capacity ratio, once again the best on the market today. This 1.5TB hard drive spins at 7200 RPM (not mentioned but that's in it's manufacturer's specs, I checked), and costs only $15.00 per GB, once again the best price to capacity ratio on the market today for any capacity. I have never had a drive from this company ever failed me in over 15 years using microcomputers. It's a steal at this low, low price, and has an excellent warranty to back it up. Thank you to this manufacturer and this supplier for making it so affordable. I would buy 1 today had i not purchased 2 500 GB drives of this same make already. It's the least expensive 1.5TB drive out there today. These drives are fast becoming my favorite by far.
Not at all impressed!

1. Shipped in plastic display pack with only 1 sheet of brown newsprint in a box that was too big. 2. Drive would format 73% and then fail. Called WD not much help. Never did get it working RMA'd it back to TD. I will try one more time. (glutton for punishment I guess)
Not user friendly so far

I just recieved this drive a few days ago, I'm running windows vista 32 bit. I've connected the drive and when formatting it, it freezes at 73% and won't move past that, after doing research on the internet this appears to be a very common error. Don't know if its a corrupt drive or just bad drivers.
So far so good.

I ordered this shortly after they launched this product. I have not had any failures to speak of.
I ordered this on 10,2,2009 and i can't recall when
i received it.
I must also say that I'm not using this drive as
my primary hard drive but as a secondary. I did
have trouble formatting the drive as a primary
partition with windows...but --
If you run into any problems formatting
with windows you can download their Data Lifeguard program and format it that way.
I recommend not using this hard drive to house
your OS.
Hope this review helps you happy customers.
