"Stay Away If Your Data Is Important" 1.0 stars
Pros: 250G, 8M buffer, cheap
Cons: Breaks down after a few months, wipping data out
Summary: This drive has failed 3 times within the last year, leaving the most of the data on it unreadable. I never had such a bad experience with any hard-drive. The irony is that I bought it to replace my 5 year old Maxtor drive fearing it will break down since it's so old. I guess WD has the last laugh!
Thanks for your submission!
