WARNING - not what the description says!
The description for this product says “Full kit includes drive cables, installation and management software, and illustrated instructions”. All I got was an OEM drive… just the drive with no cable, rails, software, instructions or anything else. I don’t know if an underpaid stockboy just screwed up or what, but everyone should be aware.
I’m keeping it because I just wanted the bare drive anyway, but I wanted to warn others who might be counting on the additional items.
Update (2/6/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

No complaints with this drive
I bought this drive to replace a smaller drive that was starting to make scary noises. The formatting, partitioning, and disk copy software worked as advertised, but the system didn’t initially recognize it when I configured it as the master drive. I had to fiddle with the jumpers, but once I got that figured out it was fine.

Download Data Lifeguard Tools from WDC support first
Acquired (replace this with a smaller 13GB drive slave unit to a WD drive that works flawlessly for over 8 years) could not, however, keep pace with the storage requirements of our new 7MP digital camera. The package contained only the bare bones drive itself, no documentation, no software, nothing else. That was good for my case, but could cause concern to some of the first guard. At first I just put the jumper on the new unit to the slave position, changing the drives and the system (Windows XP Home) starts. The new hardware detection was OK and the new device was working as a right, in Device Manager, but it was not visible in my computer because it was not yet partitioned and formatted. After downloading, run the Data Lifeguard Tools "program from the Western Digital support site and the program to start the registration for high-performance drives, and modify the partition / format, all was well.
