The vinyl record album is as described, although I haven't played it, I'm sure it's fine. Great nostalgia for a recording I now have for the first time on vinyl, and at a decent price. Item was delivered quickly, very securely packed. I would highly recommend this seller to all Ebay buyers and bidders! A+

    Good deal

    Just got around to installing. Got here quickly and well packed. Had to repartition it, but no big deal. Thought it would be wiped and reformatted. It is quiet and fast. Brought new life to an older computer. Thanks.

  • Reliable, great value and excellent performance. This is the way to go.

    You can't beat this drive unless you move into the all solid state mode. It has excellent response due to it's speed, a very large buffer, and the SATA III interface. The prices on "mechanical"drives are falling again now that Japan is getting back up to speed after the terrible tsunami damage and the glitz of everyone wanting a solid state drive. Western Digital is known for a reliable product that lasts a long time. I actually can't comment on their customer service because I have never had to use it. That says something about thieir quality!! The falling new prices and every once in a while you get a real steal in an Ebay auction make this the way to go.

  • Excellent hard drive.

    I purchased this hard drive used on Ebay, and found it to be very impressive. It replaced my aging 120gb Seagate and a 200gb Maxtor. Now, don't get me wrong; both were great hard drives, but I needed more space and less power consumption. Here is my take on the Western Digital Caviar Black 1tb hard drive's performance: Pros: 1. plenty of storage (1 terabyte) 2. quiet 3. fast (spindle speed 7200rpm & average seek time 4 milliseconds) 4. latest technology (dual processors installed) 5. fast rewrite (32mb of onboard cache) 16mb more than VelociRaptor! 6. 5 year warranty 7. easy to install, format, and get up and running. Cons: None so far. The install was very easy. I purchased Acronis True Image to clone the older drives, but later discovered that I could have downloaded Acronis online ...

  • Western Digital WD1001FALS 1TB HDD

    Myself, I have not experience any HD problems... so far; but my friend have. A particular line of well known 7200 rpm hard drive brand act up within a week after he bought it, so I decided to stay away from that brand for now (even known they are going for very good price every where!). Internet search shown that the drive line that my friend bought in fact just have a major firmware revision & the defects are linked with this line!(hence the price discount!?). I like this line a lot (and prefer to buy that brand) but the price on the ones with good firmware revision are not reasonable nor is it readily available... so A search of the internet also tell me that WD black Caviar 7200rpm has some very good features and some specs are even better than that other well known drive line, in ...

  • Fantastic value

    Okay, first off, for people who don't know much about HDDs, you need to know this before you choose a size: the number it gives on the HDD is not your actual max memory. All HDDs will automatically section off a bit of space, to prevent it from breaking. Also, a Terabyte in tech talk is 1024GB, whereas in manufacturing, they bring it down to 1000GB to make it simpler for you. The actual max memory of a terabyte drive is around 930GB. Okay, math lesson over. This drive runs cool, quiet, and fast. It is a great value, and provides plenty of space for an average user. If you do video editing, you might want more space, but this drive is perfect all around.
