I don't have any, but that depends more on your case. If it's thin, it'll have a tendency to rattle with any hard drive, which gets worse if the hard drive makes noises while seeking anyway.

I wish there was a Microcenter near me, but no, hhgregg had to take over all of the old Circuit City stores near me. Good deal nonetheless if you don't get a DOA that is.

It appears the WD10EALS 3gb/second version has disappeared from their website. Maybe new models coming out and they are clearing inventory?
Still a great deal if you can find one.

That's really weird. It was not there earlier as I both searched and drilled down to WD blue drives. Oh well, still a good deal, particularly if you can get the 6gb version.
