Customer Review: Just what I wanted
Summary: 4 Stars
The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars and not 5 is because I haven't had it in my ps3 long enough to see if it has any sort of problems down the road, but as of right now it's great! Of course when you install it you'll see that it says 298Gigs not 320Gigs, for those that don't know that's just because they are counted in a base of 2 [binary] not in base 10 like the manufactuers do. Though you're getting the same amount of HDD space pretty much, so don't let it make you freak out!
Asside from that I love it. Great size that should last me for quite some time. I also put the old 60gig HDD into an external case and use that which is wonderful. So if you're looking to ugrade your ps3 [like I did] this is a great buy, and best to do it with the hdd+external enclosure combo!
Customer Review: $60, well worth it...
Summary: 5 Stars
I replaced my hard drive in the Lenovo ThinkPad R61i, and this drive was a perfect replacement. Install is very simple, and for $60, the price is unbeatable. However, I do suggest combining the order with a drive cloning software. None of my backups restored properly on the new drive, thus requiring my purchase of the Apricorn EZ Upgrade Suite, an additional $40.
My stock hard drive was far too small for Windows Vista, at 80 Gb. 4X the size, for only $100 total, is quite worth it. And now I can use the old hard drive as a backup.
I have used the drive for a couple days now, and it is as quiet (if not more so) than my stock hard drive. It reads just as quickly as well. This upgrade is a MUST for Vista users with less than 100 Gb drive.
Customer Review: Quiet, fast and stable
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent drive for the money. I cloned my old drive with the Apricorn Notebook Hard Drive Upgrade Kit ($40 at Amazon). Then I pulled out my old drive and put in the new WD drive and everything is working perfectly! My system is exactly as it was with the old drive but with much more space. No need to reinstall the operating system, etc. and waste half of a Sunday reloading all my programs and drivers. The WD drive is very quiet and much faster than my old OEM drive. I know the specs show there are faster drives out there but this one seems very quick to me....and for the money, forget about it....I'd buy this drive again in a heart beat. Obviously it's an OEM product so there are no manuals, cables, etc but I think for most applications you won't need them.Customer Review: Works like a charm
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a larger drive to replace my 160gb Sony VAIO SZ660 notebook. With the latest 320gb drives, I wanted to make sure that it still gave a decent performance and maintained an acceptable power consumption. This drive worked in every aspect. Just from normal use, I can't really see any difference in the battery life without testing it in depth. But from normal use, it seems to be the same; give or take 5mins, which is quite acceptable for double the storage. The performance is on par with the OEM 160gb 5400rpm Seagate. What's amazing is the noise. I can hardly hear any noise from the spinning and the actuator reading data. The Seagate was quite loud. I could hear it accessing data with clicking noises. The WD is just silent.
Good buy.
Customer Review: Western Digital 500 GB 2 1/2" SATA Internal Hard Drive
Summary: 5 Stars
Great! I bought this Western Digital 500 GB 2 1/2" SATA Internal Hard Drive to upgrade the Drive on my 80 GB PS3. It was very easy to upgrade the hard drive. Instructions are on Playstation Network (on the internet) and in your PS3 manual. CNET has also publish instructions and there are some decent videos on You Tube just so you feel more comfort.
The drive runs great. The drive was only $90 with free shipping from Amazon. A great deal.
The drive runs great. I'm glad I upgraded my PS3.
Bottom line, the drive works great and it was a very easy to upgrade. I chose this 5400 rpm 2 1/2" SATA drive because it is most compatible with the PS3 plus it will not generate more heat like a faster rpm drive may do.
