Consumer review (ebuyer.com)
As per previous reviewers expect I upgraded my Samsung box. Works fine, however if the box hasn't been doing anything for several hours then it can take a few seconds to get out of standby. Overall excellent though and far cheaper than paying Sky for...

Same as the earlier reviewer, I bought this drive to upgrade my two year old Pace Sky+ HD Box. It was easy to remove the old drive (once I had found some T10 security screws!) and by using the copy+ software I kept all my recordings. The new drive is...

Bought this to upgrade my Pace Sky HD Box, very easy took out the old drive, used caddy bought from ebuyer (£12.99) and copy+ software and hey presto 1tb sky box , at fraction of Sky price !!
Consumer review (newegg.com)
Great drive but feel like it died too soon.
Great Drive, Worked well for me for the 3+ years I had it ; Bought it at 2/1/2011
Died shortly after 3 years ; I had no signs that the drive was failing, except one day I turn on PC and it says I have to run chkdsk on failing drive and it is inaccessible. Fortunately this drive has just movies/songs on it but its unfortunate that I...

After some initial issues that were resolved using wdidle3 utility, this drive was a great replacement for my 2nd failed TivoHD hard drive
needed to reset idle timer to make it fully compatible with TivoHD
Consumer review (newegg.com)
This is a good replacement HD for the Direct Tv HR21 DVR. The only hard job was taking the unit apart to replace the drive. Just install the drive and power up DVR and the drive is set up. I saved about $140.00 by using this drive over buying one from...
None as of yet
Consumer review (newegg.com)
1 DOA, out of countless WD I have bought is not bad. I still give the thing 5 eggs.
The pros are... I have had 2 of these for almost 3 years now with no problems whatsoever. WD is a lot better than the seagate I bought and it pooped out after a year
This one was DOA. BUT having said that... things happen. And it most likely was UPS fault. Set up an RMA, using the money to help a buddy out with a mobo
Consumer review (newegg.com)
WD replaced the failed drive with a higher capacity equivalent that's still working so far, but only *after* I RMA'd the failed drive. That's standard and expected, but it means I have to have extra capacity laying around to recover data from failing...
It's lasted six months ; Gaps between songs are short, few and far between (this drive stores my music collection as .flac files) compared to other magnetic media I've used in the past
Noticeable* gaps between songs are *not* non-existent, meaning real seek times ~0.5seconds = ~500milliseconds, not ~10milliseconds advertised. Not saying that advertised seek times are fraudulent, just that they're averages with significant,...

None to list, drive never worked
Drive was DOA, Bios did not see it despite it being connected properly. Tried 2 different sata cables, nothing
Consumer review (newegg.com)
good size and features for price
Extremely unreliable, slow performance when it does work. 100% failure rate in a 1 year period. 3 drives, 3 bricks. WD black drives have always been great, but the green drives are horrible. They are slow and prone to read/write errors and just get...
