THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING - GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
 
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.

I replaced an IDE hard drive and of course the speed is awesome. I have a dual core 3.0g processor and with these hard drives Outlook opens in less than 1 second. Photoshop CS3 only takes 2.5 seconds to open. I can't scroll down fast enough to watch any number of thumbnails load in a folder, it's used to be a little cumbersome. I have two of these hooked up in a raid configuration and so far they work great.

I purchased this as a second drive in my HP A6619F computer, install went smooth and no problems with Vista (64 bit) OS configuring it. Just so you know, this is an OEM drive, no hardware (mounting screws), cables or WD software so plan ahead when you buy this. Great drive for the money with excellant performance!!
