I now own 2 WD 1 Terabyte HDs. I always trusted the name and products of WD as well as the reseller, Amazon for great products, expedient delivery, and most efficient courteous service when needed.

Because of this, I was worried that if I ran into any technical issues during the installation of this hardware that I would be screwed. Despite this, I still took the plunge and bought this to replace my old, and small, 250 GB, cheap hard drive that originally came with my system. Simply put, this is one of the best purchases I have ever made.

Packaging: I have noticed a lot of reviews complain about the packaging which has led to some people's hardware being damaged. This problem HAS been solved. Amazon has packaged this drive perfectly and it came in pristine condition.

Installation (Physical): The physical act of installing this drive was simple. I made sure to touch the metal... Read more
