Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fast, Quiet, Simple
Review: In my mind, a good hard drive is one about which there's not much to say.

The hard drive is easy to install. The connectors and jumper positions are all clearly marked on the harddrive itself. When using the master/slave jumpers instead of cable select, it doesn't matter where on the cable the drive is, which makes for good space and cable management in your case. All the connectors fit easily and securely.

This 80GB hard drive is one of the most quiet I've ever owned, which suprised me. At 7200 RPM and with an 8MB cache, it's also quite fast. The speed of formatting suprised me, and with my computer running, you can hardly hear the read/write accesses.

All in all, a good drive, and a good buy. I've bought Western Digital before, and I've never been anything but pleased with them. I look forward to the many years of reliability that I'm sure this drivewill bring.
