Strengths: 300GB is decent for media storage - can hold over 80k photos or 130 hours of DVD video, 7,200 RPM & 8MB cache, , SATA 150 MB/s interface faster than IDE, 3-year warranty.
Weaknesses: No NCQ support, newer/better SATA 2 interface already exists, 16MB cache desired
Summary: Got this drive for $100 after rebate, it runs great for daily usage and very happy about it. Now the newer SATA2 300MB/s version with NCQ support is at comparable price. If you are looking for faster drives, look at either the SATA2 version or the Raptor series with 10,000 RPM.

Strengths: It was a very easy to put the new drive in, just remember to set the jumper in for a salave drive.
Weaknesses: Not know as of yet.
Summary: I needed more storage for my photos - video files - music files. I just got the Western Digital 300GB hard drive, plus upgraded my rem-memory with (2) 512 chips. My only concern for right now would be the heat, but after I turn my computer on and going through the steps which was wonderfully so very easy. I noticed how fast my computer was plus moving photos, video, music files over which freed up my master drive. So to date I have seen no problems, but will write later on after I have had it for a month or two
