    100GB WD100BB 7200RPM 2MB Cache Parallel ATA drive

    laptop was the Seller on January 20, 2004 Other/Unknown

    I got the HDD it was not a 100GB WD100BB 7200RPM
    2MB Cache Parallel ATA drive as advertised.
    It was instead a magnetic data technologies drive.
    this is a white label drive.
    I was dissapointed at this fact.
    The white label drive I got costs about 15-20 less.
    I could have ordered a new one(white label)for less.
    I emailed him and was told it is the same thing as a retail label drive.
    I dissagree and think he falsely advertised a retail label when he did not have one to sell.
    He said he needed the retail labels for his raid setup and this one didnt work with his other ones.
    He offered to make it right by selling me another drive for a lower price.
    I would have paid about the same for both averaged as for 2 new drives (retail label) some deal!
    BE CAREFULL WHEN DEALING WITH HIM!
    Know exactly what you are getting before you buy.
    Ask for pics and dont pay till you get the item to confirm it is as advertised.

    Response from y0shi
    Buyer refused to work with me after I explained the situation, which was an honest mistake. I would have gladly traded drives for a WD labelled one had he given me the chance. Be careful when dealing with this, be on your toes or you may find yourself with a negative heatware for an honest mistake you would gladly of corrected once it was made.
