I got the HDD today, and after letting it get acclimated to the room I went ahead and opened the box.....oops! The front of the drive was off of the case, but all it took was to snap it back into place. The only way it would boot is thru the rear USB ports, and then only on the side-by-side one's, it would not work any other way. I notice that the drive does have a power supply jack, so I wonder if we can buy it separately? It identifies as a Hitachi drive, but I am not sure if that is just the Drive, or if Hitachi made the entire unit.

Anyway, after making sure the system was de-fragged I chose option 3 and away it went. About 50min later I had BiaB 2010 on my system, ready to go! I am getting ready to have some fun with it in a few for sure!

And I want to give a HUGE thumbs up for including a real, honest-to-goodness paper manual!

I LUV YOU GUYS!

Overall a pretty painless experience for sure! Just wanted to share and to say Thank You to PG Music for the fast shipping & great product!
