Summary: Good drive, easy install
Review: I bought this drive to replace a smaller, slower drive. I installed the new drive as master and the old one as a slave, and rebooted using the included Data Lifeguard software. Formatting and partitioning was a snap, and there's a utility for copying the contents of one partition to another. Once that was done I could boot off of the new drive and not have to re-load any software.The only quibbles I have: The drive didn't come with spacers/rails to fit a 3.5" device in a 5.25" slot, so I had to make a trip to the store for that. Also, copying the partition took about 4.5 hours for 14.3 GB. My PC is an HP Pavilion w/ 1.2 gHz. Athlon and 512 MB RAM.

Review: If you are planning to buy this product, I suggest you to buy one more HD from another company. Because, this is the most un-reliable product I bought in recent years. I used it for 8 months and all of sudden it stopped working (It was always in the stationary position, yet no body knows why It failed) when I needed the most. WD is willing to repair it but at the cost my valuable data. (The other internal hard drive on my old PC, which I have been using since 98 is still working fine). I would never buy another Western Digital product.
One of my friends, had the similar problem just after 4 weeks of his purchase, unfortunately, he had to format his PC due to other reasons, and now his back-up and the source is gone too!

Review: Stay away from this drive, even though it's cheap! They are known for having bad sectors and eventually just failing (especially the 120GB model). I have one, and I lost all my data (I know I should've backed up my files) due to this hard drive. Go with a Maxtor, Segate, anything but this drive.

Review: The WD1200JB is the drive that was included in my PC when I bought it in early 2002. Trouble free operation, and quiet.
After 2 years with my PC running 24 hours a day seven days a week, the drive motor began to whine- not bad for 2 years running constantly.
I just replaced it with a new WD1200JB. Installation and data transfer was simple with the Data Lifeguard software.
Note: If your PC is not set up for a 2nd drive, then this kit is for you. If your PC is set up for a 2nd drive- then all you need is the bare disc (no cable, no screws, no software)
However, Data Lifeguard is a free download from Western Digital

Review: Western Digital makes some of the best Hard Drives.
I picked this model up for $79 bucks after Rebate. I did a software HD test on my old drive and then my new drive
50 percent increase in performance!!! Next I'm going to get an ATA controller PCI card...hopefully I'll get an even larger boost.
