    Bought this HD to replace the original 160 GB HD that had died in my PS3. Just a few minutes later had a working PS3 again with 300+ GB of storage for little cost.

    Bought to replace a failing hard drive on an aging laptop. No problems, working great for the purpose I purchased the item for. It is not huge drive or a speed demon. However, for my application it is great.

    Gave a 1300 dollar sony 17" laptop new life after the old hard drive failed after 4 years. Easy to install, worked great! Could not have been easier, been using it for a little while now with no issues.

    Needed to upgrade Dell E6400 laptop from 80 GB to 320 GB. This WD disk is only 5400 rpm, but that means less power. New disk has only been in use a month; I will be satisfied if it holds up as well as the original.

    All I did was buy it. Geek squad did the rest. Although I had a hard time getting a rep to help me pick the right one, but that has nothing to do with the product itself.

    Geek squad installed and said it would load the OS as soon as a wifi connection was available. This was incomplete advice, there were a few critical steps missing from their instructions.

    The geek squad installed it for me. The only thing better would be if it came with restore disks so I didn't have to make them myself. That would be awesome.

    Works so far. Hopefully longer then the last one of their's I bought. Two years and a couple storms and they're done. Investing in a better back up and restore plan!

    I installed this in my uncle's computer, and he loves it. Good hard drive for people just worried with getting by, not so good for performance and other uses.
