good !!2008-12-01
lots of people dosnt like WD... i dont like it too.. but its very cheap, and works fine.

so if you are running very important things or documents, dont store them in a WD. lol.

i am taking risk here, because this is my primary storage device, and i have lots of work. but dont have money for a better HD, this is like an act of faith.

working pretty nice so far. hope it does much much longer.
So far so good...2008-11-24
Quick delivery - easy install - so far so good. Definitely seems like a noticeable performance improvement - using in an early generation G5 iMac with media and office apps
Excellent Hard Drive!!2008-11-19
A great replacement hard drive! However, you will need a free SATA power connector(there is no legacy connector).
Works as Expected2008-11-10
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.

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.

Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot. There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present. They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them. When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...
