Review title: Highest Failure Rate of Any Manufacturer Product review: I bought this drive and its 80GB cousin. Both drives failed within a year of purchase. I have two other WD drives (45GB and 200GB) that also failed. Even if you get WD to ship you another drive, you just lost 250GB of data!!!Stick to Hitachi (previously known as IBM). Unless you're buying these things just to watch the HD size numbers go up on your computer, your data deserves a more reliable home.

Review title: Not Wide Product review: This product is made of flexible plastic. When you put a standard sock (mens 1 size fits all) on it, it closes up enough that if you have a wide foot, your foot will not go through. I have a 10EEE foot and in rehab I had a wide sock aid that was rigid plastic and I had no trouble at all. Also, there are sharp corners on this item and you will have to file them or you will scratch your foot and ankle.

Review title: Paints women in a bad light Product review: Not sure what exactly they were trying to say through this film, but the impression we received was this: No matter how well you treat them or how well you know them, women will use you, abuse you until you go nuts.Very strange film. Did not like it at all.
