WARNING - not what the description says!
The description for this product says “Full kit includes drive cables, installation and management software, and illustrated instructions”. All I got was an OEM drive… just the drive with no cable, rails, software, instructions or anything else. I don’t know if an underpaid stockboy just screwed up or what, but everyone should be aware.
I’m keeping it because I just wanted the bare drive anyway, but I wanted to warn others who might be counting on the additional items.
Update (2/3/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

No complaints with this drive
I bought this drive to replace a smaller drive that was starting to make scary noises. The formatting, partitioning, and disk copy software worked as advertised, but the system didn’t initially recognize it when I configured it as the master drive. I had to fiddle with the jumpers, but once I got that figured out it was fine.

Download Data Lifeguard Tools from WDC support first
Purchased this drive to replace a small 13GB slave unit (also a WD which had worked flawlessly for over 8 years, but was unable to follow the storage demands of our new digital cameras 7MP). The package contained only the skeleton drive unit itself, no documentation, no software, nothing else. It was perfect for me, but could cause concern for some beginners. First I just set the jumper on the new unit to the position of the slave, changed drives and restarted the system (Windows XP Home). The detection of new hardware ran OK and the new device was introduced as functioning properly in Device Manager, but it was not visible in my computer because it was not partitioned and formatted. After downloading the Data Lifeguard Tools "program from the website of Western Digital support and execute the program to modify the registry to the large disk, reboot and partition / format, all was well.
