I bought this drive to modify and use in my Xbox 360. Worked flawlessly. Now transferring files to and from my hard drive goes much quicker with the 7200 vs 5400. It's quiet and reliable. I am very happy with it, saved TONS of money, and now I have nearly 20X the storage space. I would definitely recommend this hard drive. High quality.

I am only using for a back up and have no idea if it is indeed a scorpion 7200rpm hard drive. It works and I tried to test speed but got a message read only no write and no test. So based on that this is my review. It is quiet and works other than that no test to verify.

Product came very fast and great for the cost. It was a little bent on top from use, but it did not affect the quality or speed of the drive. Came fully functional.

I bought this hard drive to replace the failing one in my Dell Inspiron 1520. After running diagnostics I found the drive to have no bad sectors (the listing said there could be up to 25). It was very lightly used, like new quality. My laptop now runs much quieter, and as fast as possible on Vista!

This drive probably is "not for everyone," in this day of xTb drives; but, for those of us who don't store a lot of videos, etc., it's a perfect little drive for a reasonable price. I'm a DIY'er (on just about everything in life, mainly due to economics); but, I'm definitely NOT "a techie." If ***I*** can upgrade to this on my own, pretty much anyone with the right attitude can do so, too. I bought one of these to upgrade the 160G in my Lenovo N500 laptop, when free space was starting to get a bit thin. Here are a few tips to make setting it up REALLY easy: 1) Download the free version of Acronis; and, it's manual, at: I had a link here, till I saw that ebay wouldn't allow it. :( Just do a search for WD Acronis. That'll get you to Western Digital's page for it. After installation, it shows up on your desktop as "TrueImage 2013". Cloning's about the only thing the free version does; but, it worked great for that! 2) Using a 2.5" external HD caddy, plug your new drive into your USB port. If the drive doesn't "show up" (common for a brand new drive; since, it's never been formatted), go to #3. 3) Right click on your "My Computer" icon; then, click "manage" and "continue." In the Left-side menu, click "disk management." It should be visible as something like "Disk 2." (WARNING!!! [For anyone who doesn't know this...] "Disk 0" is typically the main drive in your computer; do NOT do ANYTHING to it, other than making sure it's the "source drive" in step 4, until you remove it from inside your computer!!!) From there, Formatting is easy, although time consuming. (I just went to sleep; and, let my computer worry about it...) I used a single partition at this step; since, it was just for testing; and, to get it "recognizable" as a hard drive. 4) Next, just follow the directions in Acronis for cloning without assigning drive letters. It partioned and copied, w/temp drive assignments, which changed on their own after installed. I just used "proportional;" since, I hadn't used Acronis before; and, had other things to do. On boot, Windows found the drivers for the larger HD quickly and smoothly. It automatically assigned the original drive letters; so, there's no problem finding files, etc. I'm using the new drive to type this. :) I, initially, had concerns over not having a boot disk (which Vista will no longer generate); but, it turned out that I didn't need one. (If I'd seen this in a review, it would've saved me a LOT of time searching for one...) Your results might vary; since, the "boot disk" might've been part of my Lenovo partition. I finally got frustrated searching; so, I figured, "worst case scenario," I'll have to put my old drive back in; and, go back to searching..." One last thing, for those who don't know: ALWAYS "stay grounded" while mucking around inside ANY computer!!! A good way to do this is to take off your shoes; and, touch something metal, first. The computer won't "fry you;" but, even just a little static electricity can fry something inside the computer! (In the late '90's, my 386 became a 486, after I shorted out the mother board, while upgrading from a 9600 modem to a 14400[???] When possible, it's always better to learn from OTHER people's mistakes...)Read full review
Through out the years of networking I have never had a Western Digital Hard drive crash. Solid performance with ample space for editing browsing and pictures. This is a high quality product that does ot need to be introduced. It is a well known brand with reliable performance.

This works terrific, 7200 is much better then a 5400 HD for speed. The price was terrific for a branded HD. I will get another soon.

This drive will give some new life to an older laptop. Faster spindle speed as well as larger cache makes an older machine reasonably faster. I used this drive in an old 2.0 Ghz HP designed for Windows XP. Added more RAM and installed Windows Vista to get a few more years of service out of it. Windows 7 would probably run better, but I have spare copies of Vista.
