Well, ordered this drive before Christmas, received it in an orderly manner which was nice. I purchased up one of these drives at a store and installed it in a Mac Powerbook. I was able to install the OS. SO FAR I HAD THIS HARD DRIVE FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND IT IS RUNNING LIKE A CHAMP.

Had a laptop drive that the OS had crashed multiple times and was only 80GB. Replaced it with this drive and have ran it for about 3 weeks now.

WD Caviar SE

Desktop Hard Drives

Fast Cool Quiet

Interface

SATA or EIDE

Cool-running, superior performance, and industry-leading reliability make these drives the perfect hard drives for desktop, business, and consumer electronics storage ideal for high-performance family computing such as photo editing, multimedia functions, and business applications such as spreadsheets and databases.
Width/Height Product Benefits

3.5-inch/1-inch

Rotational Speed

Fast WD, the first to introduce an 8 MB buffer, has advanced the caching algorithms of this new and improved family of hard drives, resulting in next-generation high performance. Cool Heat is a major contributor to hard drive wear, and cool drive operating temperatures help increase long-term drive reliability. WD achieves the lowest operating temperature of any hard drive in its class by lowering the drives power consumption through advanced design of electronics and firmware. Data Lifeguard Tools This software utility works with embedded Data Lifeguard features (including shock protection, an environmental protection system, and error detection and repair) to make hard drive installation, management, and diagnostics simple and worry-free.
