I complained through their website, but they don't let you return anything unless you try it and it doesn't work. I tried it and it works, but I'm sure its life has been shortened, and these drives don't have a reputation for long life to begin with.

So why do they hate me? I always paid on time.

I have two of these from Newegg, and they are working well. But I just bought another one from Dell, and I won't be buying bare drives from Dell in the future. I got the free one-day shipping, but why on earth would they pay whatever it costs to ship it that fast, and not spend two cents on...

According to this review, it's not only big, it's very fast. http://www.3dprofessor.org/Rev...ages/WD2TB/WD2TBP1.htm

Easeus can unhide a partition from Windows. That means the partition is accessible to Windows. To repeat, I am working with low-level disk utilities. They work at the sector level. They don't care about partitions or file systems, and they sure as **** don't care whether the drive is...

The only choices are "none" and "auto."

Thanks for the reply, but I didn't make myself clear. I don't just want the drive to not show up in Explorer, which is what removing the letter in Disk Management does. I want the drive to not be detected by Windows at all, so that it doesn't show up in Disk Management. Just removing the...

I write disk utilities, and I'm not very good at it, so they are full of bugs, so when I test one I like to turn all but one of my hard drives off so I don't screw them up. With my old PC, all I had to do was go into the BIOS and set a drive I wanted off to "NONE," and it would be invisible to...

I just got an R; it has the ESATA adapter. So far I love the R, but I have a question --- I can't seem to turn my drives off in the BIOS. On my old PC, if I set the BIOS to "none" for a drive, then it was like it wasn't there, which is what I wanted for times when I was trying something...

No thanks, like I said it's working well with the adapters, and the thought of another two weeks without a PC is just scary. I'll email you the stuff on the sticker, you mean the sticker on the box, right? I don't see anything on the visible part of the PSU.

Yellowbeard, thanks for the reply. This is not enough to make me return the unit. It is running quiet and cool, and I can make it work with the molex-SATA adapters. In fact, doing it that way makes cable management easier; only one trunk line from the PSU for all my internal drives, SATA...

Am I going nuts? My trusty old PC finally gave up the ghost after five years of good service, so I ordered a new MB, CPU. PSU, memory, and video card from Newegg. The box arrived today and I spent the evening putting it together, using my old case, drives, and KB/mouse. Long story short...

As of late 11/27, the live cashback list only shows 5% for Tiger. Did they lower it? Anyway, I went all the way through to buy this drive, and on the very last step, they said expected delivery was Jan 5. The rebate must be postmarked by Dec 30. Story of my life.

Worked just now for me; in for one. Thanks OP.

http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=206805237 According to reviews, it's a WD drive inside, and it works perfectly with a DTV HD receiver. Edit: Stupid spelling error fixed. Newegg just put an Acomdata 1TB ESata on sale for $140, FS. I've bought several Cavalry drives before...
