WD Caviar Edición Especial 80GBPuntos Fuertes: So far it is running OK Puntos Débiles: WDC's customer service is very poor. After opening the box I found out that it came with a 1 year warranty. It had a flier offering to extend the warranty to 3 years for $14.50, provided it was done on-line. When I registered the drive and checked the warranty, it showed that it expired in November 2004, effectively shortening me 1 1/2 months. When I tried to extend the warranty, their system refused to let me. I called customer support and waited on the phone for 50 minutes. I was told to fax them my complaint, receipt, serial #, etc. I have never heard back from them. I have sent then 2 additional e-mails, but they never answer. I hate to think what will happen when the drive fails. I went back to Office Max and bought an extended warranty for $22.50. I will try some other manufacturer next time. 88% de los lectores encontraron este comentario útil. ¿Te ha parecido útil o inútil? Tope

WD Caviar Edición Especial 80GBPuntos Fuertes: Fats and quiet Puntos Débiles: Had to run scan disk and defrag to get the drive to run as advertised I installed this drive as a slave to hold video, music and picture files. The WD Data Lifeguard Tools made installation easy. However, it ran dog slow. I ran defrag, but I got a disk error message. I ran a Thorough Scandisk, which took hours, then ran defrag again. It took only minutes to defrag the disk. Now the drive runs like a bat out of hell. It's fast and very quiet. Plan to replace my Maxtor 40GB system drive with the 40 GB version of this drive and upgrade to WINXPPro. I'll let you know how I make out with this upgrade. 63% de los lectores encontraron este comentario útil. ¿Te ha parecido útil o inútil? Tope

WD Caviar Edición Especial 80GBPuntos Fuertes: NONE!!! Puntos Débiles: NOISEY This drive is a noisey piece of crap!! There is always a constant whine. My drive also rattles and the light constantly flickers. I contacted the WD company and ran their diagnostic software. According to them the drive is working fine. I purchased this drive at Officemax for 19.99 after rebate. At the time I thought I was getting a bargain. After listening to all the noise this drive emits I wish I would have bought a different brand. 58% de los lectores encontraron este comentario útil. ¿Te ha parecido útil o inútil? Tope

WD Caviar Edición Especial 80GBPuntos Fuertes: Fast,Fast,Fast! Quiet, dependable, works like a dream. Puntos Débiles: None, came with cable, Data Lifeguard disk, and a $40 rebate! This drive with the 8MB buffer is a gift from above, and I'll never question WD reliability, as I've owned nothing but since 1998. As of 5/28/03, Outpost.com will sell you this drive for $70 after rebate! My old 80GB 2MB cache WD drive still runs like a top, it's in my newly-built system storing all my tunes. Get this drive, you WON'T be disappointed! 44% de los lectores encontraron este comentario útil. ¿Te ha parecido útil o inútil? Tope
