Pros: price!
brand!
cool and quite!
worked out of box!

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: great hd for the price, used in daughter's pc and been installing games and running windows 7 64bit fine from day 1, would recommend this drive np!

Pros: After having it over a year now, this hard drive is still working and going strong.

Cons: nope

Pros: Free Shipping

Cons: Shipping is free until you have to return the drive. What a waste of time and effort. WD Lifeguard Diagnostic Utility confirmed "many" bad sectors. No ZERO eggs.

Other Thoughts: I tried, with Lifeguard, to recertify a HD which windows would not format. It would pass tests, fail to format, and then fail the same tests. I zeroed the disk twice, +3 hours a pop, and windows said not initialized. Windows was right. Who recertifies these things? $10 to return a $30 drive, might just be too much trouble.

Pros: -Does the job
-Reliable

Cons: -non

Pros: - works great, no problems so far.
- cant beat the price

Cons: none

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Junk. Ordered two of these for an economy SATA machine I was putting together for the kids. Neither one of them works. I've been using WD for years and only had two failures. This is the first time I've ever had a drive fail out of the box. You get what you pay for I suppose.

Other Thoughts: I've had good success with Reconditioned parts from Newegg up to now. This will be the last "recertified" drive I buy. I've learned my lesson.

Pros: Great Price, right size for OS hard drive.

Cons: Did not come with SATA Cable.

Pros: Fast, great price! 250GB isn't bad at all for a regular PC.

Cons: I ordered 3 of these, 2 for me and 1 for a friend. 2 of them work and the other was a DOA(Click of death).

You have been warned, but take heart in that Neweggs return policy is very good.
