5.0 out of 5 stars Western Digital 500 GB EIDE, October 6, 2008

By	D. Sandoval "Darbinicus" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The HDD worked great the first time and has worked great for a month now. I still have an old motherboard that does not have standard SATA ports and I needed a new larger HDD for my system. I chose this HDD because I wanted an affordable drive with a decent ammount of capacity.

I have it partitioned so that I use a second partition for all program files and data and the first for the OS and certain programs that can only be installed into the primary drive or require certain files be installed in the primary drive ie. CS3. My first partition of 10 GB is running full so if you intend on doing a similar task, go a larger for the first partition.

The drive has worked flawlessly as it should and I intend on using it until it becomes unhealthy, which I hope is a long time.
