Even though it is branded by Dell, I'm gussing it should still have the Western Digital part/model number on it.

Do these drives say Dell on them or WD? Anybody actually received one of these drives yet?

There will be a part number on the drive itself. You will have to go to WD website and look the number up.

There may be a sticker covering the WD sign up. Nontheless, look for the part number and check their website.

This is a pretty hot deal!

I was trying to hold onto my money on a hard drive upgrade until a good deal came around, and I think this is the one I'm going to jump on. Just picked up 2, thanks jalapeno.

Mine shipped too. I ordered Saturday afternoon. Got the UPS tracking number already, although it is not yet active. Never got any emails at all. I usually get emails but this is the second time I have gone without.

B.T.W. guys, master/slave jumpers haven't been used in many years. It's not the drive, the ATA66 spec. requires the CS jumper.

I ordered around 6am PST and mine has shipped.

I never knew about the MA/SL/CS not being in ata66 spec. I normally use MA/SL and they work fine.

WooHoo! Ordered really late friday, got an e-mail confirmation at 11:48 p.m. friday, and mine shipped today, status says IN TRANSIT
Your order has left Dell?s manufacturing facility and is on its way to the carrier?s regional distribution center.

I ordered two this morning, no confirmation e-mails thus far.

I'm not particularly worried about it, though.

I need to cancel my order. What number can I call to take care of this or actually talk to someone? Or is there a way I can cancel the order online?

I was going to type a nasty message saying that I placed an order with Dell yesterday and I hadn't received an email yet. But then I thought I would check my email one last time before I posted....
... and whadya know....... I got an "Order Acknowledgement" saying I would get an "Order Confirmation" within 24 hrs.

Once I get an estimated shipping date I will post it. I ordered the drive at about 10pm Sunday night.

Ordered three on Friday evening (10-ish). Order is now "In-Production, " and have not received the back-order email. So, it looks like mine should be coming too -- just not sure how soon.

<< NEVER received any emails for either order. >>


When I ordered the Logitech speakers from Dell I never got an email either. But the speakers came anyway.
