I'm confused who the targeted audience for this drive is. As you say, consumers aren't really in dire need of a
terabyte
of storage right now, and high end people and people with servers are going to want more than the slow IDE connection when things like SATA and SCSI are available.

1TB may sound like a lot now, but I still remember buying my first PC in 1992 and people declaring me crazy for opting to get one with a 40MB drive. "You'll never need that much space" was the most common criticism. 10GB these days is nothing. When I spent a day photographing an airshow last summer I ended up with 7GB of photos in …

Sometimes you have to take the initiative and help create a market. Although I agree that most consumers are not in dire need of this amount of storage, plenty soon will be as the 'PC as media centre' concept continues to get a grip. Streaming video, digital photography, MP3 jukeboxes all require hefty storage requirements and I think that …

Maybe you attached the drives to sata raid ports. Or you should've done that. You should try attaching 1 at the time, while the system is on. the sata drives are plug and play, they are detected automatically and instantly. Perfectly safe. If that doesn't work either, try a bios update.

Thanks for the reply. I attached them to both types. I tried one at a time (my one pc only has one sata power cord). I might try a bios update but I updated near the start of this year already.

The difficulty you are dealing with is that many of the WD HDD's are not [I]pre-formatted[/I]...apparently to make them Mac compatible. You'll need to use Windows' Disk Management snapin to format the drive and create volume. Winkey+R to open the Run console. Enter in (without speach marks) "compmgmt.msc".... hit Enter To damn …

I agree with kaninelupus. Ya gotta format first. Have fun partitioning. Vista's partitioning tool is brutal and I've read third party tools are not Vista friendly. I, too, am the proud owner of two WD 1TB drives (green)- both set up as USB. Each took about 12 hours to format (I don't recommend formatting via USB unless you're a person with lots of…

Actually, if you format the disk in quick mode, simply by checking (or unchecking, not sure) the box, it takes seconds. Second, i used a partition manager on vista: Paragon. It worked well, no problems there. The vista manager can be accessed by right click on the computer and select manage. If the drives appear at the disk management section, any…

Sorry for the side track. Have you checked the jumper setting on the TB drives? Simple, I know. But sometimes forgotten. If that's not the problem, maybe try them hooked up to a usb connection to see if they work that way.

seoulman2: no jumpers are used as far as I know. kaninelupus: Both of the first to motherboards have built-in raid controllers. I'm looking into trying it on another PC, but that one would need to use a sata/raid controller card as it only has IDE. Thanks for the replies.
