I have an aging win2k pro machine that has the C: drive on an 8 G partitian. The Sims did the computer in - we are constantly struggling with disk space. So, I bought this beauty and downloaded a wonderful utility called Casper (not the demo version, downloads.com). 2 hours after I opened the box, I had the computer booted off the new drive, using an exact copy of the old, but onto 30 G partitions. It went without a hitch! We didn't lose a single application or license key. If I'd known it was so easy, I would have done this a year ago.

The new drive is faster and quieter than the old, and I really like the 3 year warranty. Note that this is a bare drive in a box - not even any extra screws.

I searched for older hard drives and found this one. It was very easy to install, and works very well.
