Works like a charm!

Pros: Does exactly what it says it will do. Just follow the software instructions and it should work every time. Cloned my 80Gb Toshiba A135-S4666 with Vista Home Basic onto a 160Gb drive in under 1 hour, no problems experienced and it's been about 3 weeks as of this review date. Again, works with Vista!

Cons: No case to place the components in for storage or travel.

Overall Review: The software is similar to Acronis True Image. From Apricorn: They were both written by the same developer. EZ GIG II version 10 and Acronis version 10 are similar builds. You can check the build number (Help/About) to see which one is the newer build. The newer the build, the more support for new controllers and other hardware.

Works as it should

Pros: I've always used WD drives for my computers and have always had success with them and this one is no exception. I upgraded my Toshiba A135-S4666 from 80Gb to 160Gb without any problems. The drive is just as quiet as the original and just as quick. No booting issues, slow searches or file transfer issues either.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Maybe I should have gone larger? LOL!
