I have had two 320gb drive since last Jan still run great, speed is faster than the two WD5001aals carver black I just got two days ago.I will be returning them and getting two more of the 320'sWestern Digital WD3200KSRTL Caviar 320 GB SATA 3.5-Inch Hard Drive
I was very happy with the drive's ease of installation and the performance was great. My system wouldn't boot again to do the replacement and cloning. Right up until the time it died. It threw a couple of "disk needs to be checked" alerts from Windows startup, and I took that as my cue to purchase a new drive and did. 16 months from happy camper to totally dead. I will not purchase another Western Digital Caviar drive.
It really is just a bare drive in a box. There was no cable included or driver disk. I would have been better off just buying an OEM driver from another online vendor, and saved money doing so.
I got this in hopes that replacing the harddrive would fix my computer's crashing problem. It didn't, but it's still a nicer harddrive than I had- quieter, faster (usually. But then, my computer's a lemon, so i can't be hard on this drive). When I purchased it it came with no cables- some reviews mention cables and even discs and manuals, but it was not the case with mine- i bought a cheap cable off of newegg though, and plugging it all in and getting it set up wasn't hard.
Excellent Hard drive so far, no problems. Easy installation, but didn't come with a SATA cable. 5.9 on WEI for Windows 7.
