 Great Idea, but I had problems with mine. August 18, 2008
MD (New Jersey)
After just two months I'm having problems with the hard drive. There is a problem with the connection inside the bay where the drive sits. It still works fine as an external drive with a USB cable, but the reason to get this drive is so that it will work inside the bay. Has anyone else had the same experience as me?

I had searched for 3 months for this product. For this price and the size of the memory it is a great product. All the other stores I looked at, the lower GB were selling for this price.
Excellent drive, but slide it into the bay the right way up! July 24, 2008

This is a great drive if you have an HP Pavillion PC with the Personal Media Drive bay. Be sure to slide it in the right way up. It slides in easily if you have it correct. But there are no markings or install instructions to say this way up! If you have it the wrong way up, you will not be able to push it in all the way. However trying to do so may dislodge the internal connector so that it doesnt work when you put it in correctly! This isnt hard to fix. Just remove the covers of your PC and put the connector back in place. Perhaps this happened to some of the people that reported 'bad' drives! So I hope this helps.
There is no reason to pay extra for this drive if you do not have a PC with the special bay. HP could save a few $$s by not including the power adapter and cables for use with other PCs. However, don't throw them away in case your PC fails, or for transporting files, and you need to use the drive (temporarily) on another PC.
 neat but July 7, 2008

Neat if u dont already have a few 'big' hd's.
For me owning a HP M9350F is great...but this is totally useless to me as I want this drive with no hd' already in it.
If I could buy 'empty's I would definately buy a few.
Currently if there is no chance in buying 'empty's I will be looking to remove this product from my nearly new pc.
I would love to know if there are any 'non-hp' or hp options in using anything other than hd's for this drive bay.
The casing of a drive tells me they could engineer the space to be more than just hd options.

Exactly what I wanted to back-up my PC. Twice in the past I've lost everything by not having a back-up. This drive does exactly what I need and is a perfect match for my HP Media Center. Amazon had a great price, too.
