This was my first hard drive purchase. Overall, I am very pleased.
Western Digital 1 TB Caviar Green SATA Intellipower 32 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive WD10EADS
Even though others reported that the packaging problems were being fixed, I was still worried I'd get a box of bolts. I was happy to receive the drive in a box that was about twice as big as the drive itself, with styrofoam holders made specifically for shipping hard drives. The drive was in an antistatic bag as well.
THE PROBLEM I had with the shipping came from the fact that I ordered 4 other electronic items as well, and the packager thought it would be perfectly ok to just rest them all on top of each other and throw a few semi-inflated air bubbles on top. Everything was shifting around by the time I got it. This wasn't so much a problem for the other stuff, since it was all in its OEM packaging. But I was worried about the drive. So far I haven't noticed anything wrong, but I did voice my concern to Amazon.

INSTALLATION was a breeze (make sure you log into your bios setup and turn on the hard drive slot), and with WD's free copy of True Image, I had my old drive completely cloned with just a few clicks.By Jorge (Arizona, USA)
