I don't know, but I am no longer buying any more WD hard drives. All the ones that have crashed and burned are, guess who? I have other brands that have lasted 8 years. Even the so called white lables that are generic from WD crashed within one year. No more WD.

I have no idea other than to say it likely is. Check the specs on your existing drive, and if they're similar, I'd get it. It's a very good, fast and seemingly reliable drive. Easy to install. Do not buy the WD!

Hi it's a bit confusing, and hard to figure out who you are ordering from on these drives. Did not buy mine from Oceanside. Might want to look at similar drives from Fry's. They have the full warranty.

Save your receipt. I have had to obtain warranty service in the past, and unless you have a dated sales receipt they go by the date of manufacture. I happened to purchase a drive that was on a shelf for several months after it was manufactured. WD honored without any grief the sale date on the receipt.

I ordered the 2TB model, and it came without a drive. I imagine that there is something incorrectly listed in the 2TB model listing.

For this technical question I would go to www.seagate.com, and look at the technical specification chart for ST1000DX001 drive.

Warranty info is at: http://support.wdc.com/warranty/policy.asp?custtype=end〈=en The date is dependent on the Serial Number which you can check at: http://wdsupport.wdc.com/warranty/warrantycheck.asp?custtype=end Then, of course, know exactly what the return/warranty policy of the vendor you are buying them from. You may have to deal directly with the manufacturer. It's been my experience with only a single failure though, they replaced it within about two weeks after I return the failed drive.

Sorry I don't have an answer for you, the drive is for a Drobo Raid and it's not something that concerned me when I made the purchase. It was however physically an exact match to the Older drive it replaced, I hope that helps.

The first one we bought was bad from the start and we found out by contacting WD Support but went back through Amazon to get the replacement which was quick and easy. Even left the old one in until the new one arrived (had 30 days to return the old one). Contact the seller and they should be able to advise you.

Sorry, I can't find that info in my booklet. Try going to the Seagate website.

I bought a Seagate 1tB about two years ago. I've had to have it replaces twice already and I'm looking for a third replacement. I still have a 150Gb WD drive that I bought nearly a decade ago. In my experience, I would go with the WD... I'm about to buy this one.

It appears that the other hard drive has comparable specs. However it comes with a different firmware. Otherwise I think it is likely a matter of packaging and marketing.

It's a typo on Amazon. The drive is SATA III. Hardly any drive are SATA III anymore. Click here -> http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=1049&language;=1

hello, look at the packaging says it's fit for that HD, I buy a WDBY8L and the packaging says it is not compatible with the HD though fits perfectly
