    For the price, the drive is worth it. It was fairly easy to install since the hard disk in my laptop had started to crash and I needed to replace it.

    We use these 320Gb Drive for simple workstation and laptop applications where a large amount of disk space isn't necessary. We have come to rely on Western Digital for our hard drive solution as we have experienced an overall very low failure rate when using WD products. In the event of a failure the customer support is very good and the company also offers an advanced RMA option to get a replacement drive faster. Overall we are very satsified with the Western Digital product line.
