Summary: 3rd Failed WD____JB is the charm
Review: I woke up this morning to find that my computer had rebooted with a message on the boot screen saying, Primary Hard Disk Failure. This is the third One I've had. I've owned computers for about 7 years now and this is the first drive I've ever had problems with. I sent it back to WD and they send me a new one, and it eventually fails as well. I don't know what's wrong with the special edition Caviars but they seem to be poorly designed or built, either way it doesn't matter to me, because now I'm stuck with a rotten drive on my hands. I'm happy with my old 20GB WD Caviar, but I couldn't say enough bad things about this new run. I chose it because it had an 8MB cache and I trusted the WD name, I'll think again before trusting any product simply because it's brand name.

Summary: Good luck mirroring your old drive
Review: If you are like me you are buying this drive to replace a smaller and slower hard drive. So you want to move all your old data to the new drive and go on like nothing happened, right?

Well, I followed their directions on the Data Lifeguard product to the letter and when i booted up off the new drive I had lost functionality in several of my programs. After hours of struggling with it I gave up and just did a clean install of Win XP. Hopefully mine is an isolated case but it is not like I'm running some obscure system. I have a new Dell desktop running Win XP.

I think the Data Lifeguard program needs some work. Aside from that, the drive itself is working great so far.
