Review: I have this install in an older Dell laptop I ... - I have this install in an older Dell laptop I use for digital painting. This drive has done very well so far. Not much to say here - just what appears to be a basic - very sound drive. Follow up: This drive has been - as expected - reliable if a tad sluggish. If you want to add some grunt to an older laptop - this drive will not do it. But if you are not in need of a speed increase - this is reliable. Below is some comparisons for people upgrading older systems. I have a D620atg has the Kingston SSDnow, and a D620 has a HGST Travelstar 7200rpm sata3, and finally - a D820 has a Kingrich SSD sata2 (I use an after market media bay drive and put a 5400rpm sata2 drive in it - so the Kingrich has the OSs - one Windows, one Linux and all files are saved to the WD Blue 320. I also have an alt Linux distro and Windows set up on this drive and can boot to it as opposed to the OSs on the Kingrich - via bootgrub). The Kingston is the fastest upgrade. Next up is the Kingrich 32gig SSD sata2 (which is dirt cheap) was a notch below (no surprise). The HGST HDD is a mild surprise. It replaced a 7200 sata1 drive and the difference was pretty amazing. It also seems not too far behind the Kingrich. Plus the 500gigs of space at a good price - makes it an excellent upgrade option for older systems. Note: The extra speed of the HGST comes at a cost. I manually set the cooling fan to high, and keep the laptop on a cooling pad as much as possible. The Dell D620 id fairly small and doesn't discipate heat all that well. So if you go with a 7200rpm drive - use an after market software - like I8kfanGUI, to manually crank up the internal fan and expect the laptop to get a bit warm compared to using a more modest 5400rpm drive.
Review: Does the job for my Xbox 360 - A while back my 360 broke down, and as I was replacing it, I had to make the tricky decision between the 4gb or the 320gb model at a dramatically higher price. Now, the idea of paying the same amount it'd cost to buy a 2tb drive for a 320gb drive seemed absurd, so I elected to go the DIY route instead. There are two DIY option for 320gb drives. You can actually buy an unbranded drive for ~65 bucks. http://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B006NRMBF6/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=thfefi02-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B006NRMBF6 Or you can buy this drive for ~48 bucks (at the time of this writing) and save a bit more, if you aren't afraid to get your hands a little dirty inside the guts of a PC making it 360 compatible. The steps for making it compatible may be found here: http://digiex.net/guides-reviews/console-guides/xbox-360-guides/3152-how-hack-250gb-320gb-sata-drive-work-xbox-360-xbox-360-slim.html or you can just do a google search for something like "hack 320gb drive to work with xbox 360." If you follow the instructions on that site to the letter (and your motherboard supports legacy SATA), and you are pretty comfortable with the simple parts of building your own PC, the whole process is incredibly simple and takes maybe 15 minutes. If the idea of flashing a USB thumb drive scares you or you don't feel comfortable hooking up a SATA drive, I'd probably just buy the unbranded drive. If you are a big ol' nerd like me though, this is clearly the way to go. Note: a word about ban fears This process DOES NOT allow you to somehow play pirated games or otherwise require an Xbox 360 modification. This is approximately the same thing as installing a huge usb drive. After an exhaustive review, it appears no one has ever been banned for doing this, and anyone who claims otherwise also did other things like running a hacked Xbox 360. I personally feel pretty comfortable about not getting banned, but if you are more concerned, I'd probably stick with the official Microsoft 320gb drive. http://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B005PSTV2K/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=thfefi02-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B005PSTV2K

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great replacement and upgrade
*by V***6 on January 20, 2011*

When the Samsung drive in my laptop started making the occasional death throes of the motor going out, I put this little guy on order. You can go bigger these days, but in my case this was a replacement issue... the upgrade was just from shopping for the best bang for the buck at the time (which with hard drives changes, so don't quote me on this tomorrow). In general Western Digital has been an excellent and reliable manufacturer of hard drives and after years of being a nerd both at home and professionally, it's the brand I trust. They have great diagnostic tools available for download to verify your drive's integrity upfront and clone your current drive if it's an upgrade or total backup situation. Every manufacturer of hard drives has their duds, that's life when dealing with high tech. As with any upgrade, back up your data first and regularly. If there are any problems WD has easy to use diagnostic tools that can sometimes fix minor issues and spit out RMA codes you can send to WD for replacement for major ones. The nice part is, with WD, the odds are low you'll ever have to worry about it. Drives have motors and sensitive material in them... they vary in wear and tear just like any other high tech devices of the same caliber. But for longevity I've had the best luck with WD. And their prices ain't bad either. I might sound biased, but after over a decade in the business, and drives of my own of various manufacturers dating back to the 80s... some which still work, I think I've earned my stripes to say so.
