Excellent Product (2010-03-14)
Excellent product! Delivered just as described and in the time expected. Good price as well
worked with my macbook (2010-03-11)
So far so good is all i can say. The extra 500 gb well a little less is pretty quiet, i do not notice any lag with data accessing really and was a breeze to install into my macbook.
This is "The Hard Drive" for the PS3 (2010-03-08)
I bought this hard drive a few months ago due to the lack of space of my PS3 80 GB hard drive. I made a back up of the data from the PS3 hard drive, and then I removed the old one and installed the new one (500 GB nice!) and it was immediately detected and formatted in a few instants. I transferred all of the PS3 data, everything ran fine and right now I have used like 150 GB and I still have plenty space left for use for demos, videos, music, saves, download content, etc.
About this drive I must say:
Pros:
It's a Western Digital.
Compatible with PS3 recommended specs (for instance: 5400 RPM, 2.5-inch hard drive).
Size 500 GB.
Cons:
The package does not seem to be very secure with those air bags included, not sure if those air bags will fully protect an OEM hard drive.
Despite of that minor inconvenient, Western Digital hard disks ROCKS!!.
100% recommended.
5 stars.
Dead on Opening (2010-03-05)
I bought this Drive on sale at Fry's for 69 odd some dollars. I was going to use it in a enclosure i bought as an external drive. as soon as i set it up which the EASE OF INSTALLATION was simple, the drive would not spin up. I took everything apart and removed the drive from the enclosure and attached it to a USB to SATA/PATA adapter and thats when i heard the dreaded click of death. how the heck could a brand new hard drive that hasnt been out of its static wraper for more than 20 minutes headcrash?
Fry's would not take it back and i could not go back either due to poor weather. They told me to ship it to Western digital. Western Digitals RMA request is conveluded and difficult to manuver around. i choose to pre pay for a UPS label. it took me 5 tries 3 RMA requests and 2 creditcards before i was finnaly able to get the lable. then i found out i screwed up on my address and that added a 6th RMA but this was after i paid for the label attached to another RMA#. I finaly got a replacement but have not gotten around to try it. i ordered a 3.5" to 2.5" for a computer i am building as a replacement for the current 80GB drive i am using.
Perfect for PS3 (2010-03-03)
I purchased this Hard Drive to upgrade the 60gb already in my system. Everything runs smoothly, works great in the PS3 and easy to install and format.
