Good reliable quiet drive.
Reviewed by Richard. Review Posted 05/11/2008

I cannot agree with the last reviewers comment. He might have suffered with a bad batch of drives. It happens across all manufacturers from time to time. You cannot damn a whole manufacturer and a whole series of drives on just a few failiures. Thats why we have warrenty.

I upgraded the 40gb drive on an IBM Thinkpad x31. The laptop runs very well now and the drive has been very reliable. I have used many desktop versions of Western Digital drives, as well as Fujitsu, Maxtor and Samsung. A friend of mine recently had a Samsung 750GB fail on him as soon as he turned it on. As said...this can happen now and then. I trust this drive with my work data and my personal data. Though as any experienced computer user will tell you...always back up!

I cannot complain about the Western Digital Scorpio. I believe this is the largest and probably the last PATA that will be made so get them while they are still avalible.

Ordered and received this inside 18 hours (Well done DABS). Ideal replacement for my Powerbook 15". Better than the original drive and Time Machine replaced the files in no time. Best buy!

Great Replacement Hard Hrive for Apple Powerbook G4
Reviewed by Anonymous. Review Posted 05/05/2008

Brought this hard drive to replace the hard drive in my Powerbook 12" G4 1GHz. Runs a lot quieter than the original hard drive suppled with the laptop and produces roughly the same amount of heat, but the heat is down to the lack of cooling in the laptop not the hard drive.
