I bought this hard drive on 24/04/2010. I was looking for a hard drive with> 1TB which should save the ever-growing flood of shots that I do with my DVBT stick. Ultimately, I came to the WDBAAU00 because they price / storage capacity was the cheapest relative I had found. The existing reviews have led me to buy them. Three days after ordering it was then there. Apart from that, my Antivir every bitched briefly at boot because, for some reason on the plate an autorun.inf file was present, everything went perfectly. Previously I had a MCTronics 1GB FP was me afterwards become too small in operation. Opposite this the WD has a minimum speed advantage, but it is super quiet. I use them as a storage medium for DVBT recordings as well as for cutting the photographs. Also, my entire iTunes library stored on it. I have had no problems in operation. My Windows7 recognizes the disk reliably and the self-heating is barely noticeable. By contrast, my old MCTronics was really hot. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend the WD!
