I purchased this hard drive in December 2001 and ran Win 98SE for six months without a problem. When I upgraded my system in June 2002 I purchased a second WD1000BB and configured it in a RAID array under WinXP. The performance is nothing less than breathtaking. I do a large amount of image editing and large files are available instantly. If you really want good performance for a low price purchase this drive. If you want even better performance and don't want to buy the additional hardware involved with a RAID system then look for the WD1000JB. This drive steps up from 2MB to 8MB of buffer and really makes a difference in some benchmarks. For most home users the 2MB WD1000BB is more than adequate and should provide several years of reliable use.

I have this same exact model, I purchased it in the summer of 2002, and it is nothing less than the most stable hard drive i have yet found. I have had zero confilicts resulting from fault of my hardrive the whole time I have had it, and belive me I use my computer alllll the time, this is a really good harddive to buy, even though you may think it's cheap for a high quality hard drive, that only makes it better, I think this is the best hard drive to buy that's widely availiable right now!!

Why pay for this, when you can probably get the 8MB cache version for nearly the same price?
