Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Hard Drive!! Comment: A great replacement hard drive! However, you will need a free SATA power connector(there is no legacy connector). Customer Rating: Summary: Works as Expected Comment: It works very well, and was my first SATA install. The only problem I had was that my motherboard's SATA controller is a couple of years older, and did not support the high data rate of this drive. A jumper was required to configure the drive for the controller, but as this was an OEM package, it didn't come with one. I use Debian Linux with a packaged kernel, and found no problems at all between this drive and the OS. Customer Rating: Summary: 500 GB Western Digital Hard Drive Comment: I received the product in just a few days, which was a +; however, after less than a month of operation, it has become very noisy. I fear that it will die, as my previous Western Digital drive did. It has performed well up to this point. Customer Rating: Summary: Drive works ok but vibrates too much Comment: I don't know if it's just the one I received but mine vibrates more than normal and causes my computer case to make noise. I think I got a defective one because HDDs are NOT supposed to vibate too much especially 7200 rpm drives. It sounds like the platters or something inside is not balanced hence the vibration. The drive itself does not rattle or anything but it vibrates. Customer Rating: Summary: So far so good Comment: Purchased this for additional drive in one of my PCs. It's working well so far.
