I received the hard drive two days after ordering. With the return of the cold, and the fragility of this type of merchandise, I feared a little for SD, but I was pleasantly surprised to see it was delivered in a box large enough - in addition to the Amazon cardboard - and therefore it was well protected during transport. No SATA cable in the package, pay attention, you need one below the elbow. No problem internally disk installation, the computer has recognized and installing it in the main disk, formatting, and partitionnage XP install posed no concern. SD is silent and runs well, for the moment, it is guaranteed for one year, I hope it will last far beyond ...! :)
