Western Digital Caviar Black Hard Drive WD1001FALS 1 TB SATA 32 MB - OEM Reviews
Bachman" is facing (I bought 2 of WD 1TB HDD directly from Amazon to avoid any such issue. Just for the information, I am one of the biggest buyer of WD products and this is the first time I face such issue which really disappointed me.
Either Amazon.com look into this issue and try to work it out, or WD should be careful with their produced products. Unfortunately I am having exactly the similar issue that "D.
I have wrote to Amazon and I am now waiting for their response to replace the items for me. Both came factory sealed and when I installed them it has showed 80GB only.
I have seen a comment from "Levi Flaman" saying [Don't write up a 1 star comment complaining about factory mix-ups] and I totally disagree with him as this is the 2nd time happened to a customer and this could happened to another customer. And when I test them one by one, it appeared that one is totally not working and the other one is 80GB only instead of 1TB.
In addition, it has been written Matrox Corp on the back and WD printed on the front sticker).
This is a GREAT hard drive. (But be aware that it does not come as a "Plug-n-Play". It has to be formated).
If your are having trouble using a eSata expanded drive with DirecTv, this is your baby. Slip it into an Atec MX-1 enclosure and plug it into the back of the HDDvr and take yourself an extended vacation and when you come home all your preferred programs will be waiting on you. Lots of hours available to record you favorite shows.
They looked fine until I installed them in my system. They came up as 80GB Maxtor drives rather than 1TB Western Digital drives. There's been an obvious mixup here, probably at the factory. I hope I don't get the same. Amazon is replacing the drives with new ones. The stickers on the top of the drive say Western Digital 1TB but the electronics board on the bottom of the drive says Maxtor. I bought 2 of these directly from Amazon.
I've just finished installing a group of these in RAID configuration, and am happy to report that they are fast, quiet, and cool. Western Digital seems to be on a roll lately, with lots of innovative products. OEM drives aren't tested as thoroughly. I agree with the review that states that Amazon needs to be specific about whether computer parts are OEM. they leave that up to the builder. OEM equipment often does not carry the warranty that consumer equipment does, and I personally have seen too many OEM drives fail. I now buy only retail drives. Really a great balance of performance, capacity and security.
