Summary: It's not bad for the price...but I'm waiting on the rebate.
Review: This is a pretty good drive. I recently bought it from Circuit City at the same price after having ordered a 10GB 5400RPM with a new system I just built. I had to have a 7200...there's just too big of a difference if you're running any Windows product in boot up time.I would have preferred Maxtor but they didn't carry them, but this has been worth the price so far...considering i get my REBATE check. If this takes months or if I never get it then this drive gets a 2. Overall, good sized drive, decent speed and is ATA66 compatible. Not bad at all.

Summary: An Excellent Performer
Review: This is the best money I have spent on my system to date. Instructions are well-written, the product was very easy to install, and disk access is rapid. Software is included on floppy disk that makes partioning/formatting your new drive a snap. A program called "EZ BIOS" allows older systems to take advantage of the drive's full storage capacity. I didn't purchase a new hard drive for this reason, but a pleasant, unexpected surprise was the noise level of the product--or, rather, the lack of it. The OEM drive that came with my Aptiva, an 8-GB Maxtor 90845D4, was so raucous that it could be heard from across the room. The Western Digital is only faintly audible, even from a couple of feet away. It's a little like switching from a Geo Metro to a Cadillac. If you're looking for a quiet, fast drive, don't hesitate to give this one a try.
