Came in a CyberpowerPC prebuild I bought here on NewEgg. Worked nicely for a while. Tends to make a excellent door quit now. Started program instability slowly, then absolutely died following about 9 months of pretty light use. Since it is my son's, naurally nothing at all backed up. Say bye-bye to all the data. I look forward to hours of reloading almost everything. Ususally WD is my brand of option, so I was initally happy that this method came with 1. Can't wait for my warranty replacement unit. Let's see if this a single lasts.

one particular of the 3 worked 2 out of 3 DOA I purchased three of these drives for several shoppers. One particular never ever would even show up as a drive. One died a screaming death as I was formatting. I believe I will stick with Seagate.

I utilised this to replace my old 1.five sata drive, just reset the sata and loaded it, No issue at all. Even with my through 8237 chip. The 32 mb cache enhanced the speed of my system. And newegg service/ups was as promised. none for ollder systems like my Athlon 64, this is a wonderful replacement, even for some thing a little newer, works good!

The drive did its job when it was functioning. It was quick and very quiet. The drive failed right after numerous days of use. Had to RMA this drive. WD RMA procedure is smooth, rapid and all on the internet. I just will need to, step by step, fill out the needed blanks and they deal with the rest. They assist lessen the cost of shipping the defect drive back. The whole method took less than 7 enterprise days (my shipping took about four days). WD truly pays consideration to its customers. The replacement drive is operating so far. Hopefully this time it can final substantially longer than the first one.

-Let's me save a buck for getting green. -Very good performance and quiet -Price tag None Purchased 2. A single in my media recording maching that's on continually and one particular for a second comp drive

Undoubtedly affordable but outside of my one particular mistake, surely didn't really feel like a low cost tricky drive. I operate in 3d and am continually porting 10000+ poly objects back and forth in between three or four separate packages and I'm amazed at how well this drive held up. Doesn't hold up too properly to two cats powersliding into the side of your personal computer case and knocking the tower down although you're on holiday. If this happens to you a lot, me also. I'm ordering a second one as I variety this, due to the fact for this cost point it can't be beaten.

It was purchased just as a drive to back up my caviar black along with some other competitors tough drives due to the price tag couldn't be beat. All drives will back up data. Did this do it greater then the other people? No. When I bought enough of the other people I place this in a lil htpc create as the primary drive and was ready, and didn't care, for a efficiency hit. I don't see it. My htpc rig doesn't demand much from it, so it appears rapidly sufficient for me. If I tried using it as my principal drive on my function and play laptop or computer, then I would see a distinction. Remeber, there's a drive for every will need. This still gets five.9 in the WEI Doesn't butter my muffin, but I would've been shocked if it came with an air valve. (teehee) It does function well, just don't expect it to out perform a caviar black. If your wants are couple of, this is just wonderful. If you access a lot of information a lot of the time, get one thing else. This is the ideal house computer hd. I use it in my htpc rig like I stated and it performs outstanding for the price and for my desires...... for that certain rig. It's far more expensive then the competitors Hard drives for a reason. They are worth it.Threw this in with an Asus micro 775 board, the E5500 and 4gigs of gskill 800 ram. Coupled with the 9800gt the rig is just cute and performs nicely as my magic jack and video rig. This rig diffenitely doesn't beat any of my amd phenom rigs, wether they are dual or quad core based, but it does work just proper for my desires. Will I try to play LFD2 on it? Nope. There is a hard drive for just about every need, this fit mine after I was by means of with it's first intended purpose. If I had to evaluate, it performs as well as a seagate 7200rpm with the exact same cache.... or very really extremely close.

Solid Drive. I have been using it for more than 6 months in an external dock and have had no difficulties with the drive therefore far. None. There appears to be a difficulty with certain numbers of drives spontaneously failing. But, overall they seem like decent drives.

-Quite quiet-Perform nicely for the first week or so -I purchased 5 of these, the longest life I got from any of them was 10 days-Information loss-Angry users Possibly there was a bad run of drives, I uncover it tough to think that WD is prepared to place their name on devices this bad.

Appear fantastic for the cost, need to of spend focus to the a lot more then typical DOA's in the feed back. Would not read in Bios or cmos. Returned with the normal 2 week return and replacement. Replace fee and shipping new product back was free, so that was a pro.. Make magical leprechauns to speed up return delivery more rapidly.. had to order by thurs night to get it shipped Friday, otherwise id wait a single much more week for delivery.

Low-cost I bought five of these drives on one order. 3 failed when I initial tried to use them. 1 created noise and not observed by bios, second just not seen by bios, third had a broken sata connector. I have had very good luck with WD in the past. I think it was just a bad run of drives. Newegg was fantastic about taking the drives back for a refund.

Excellent tricky drives. Unknown

Reliable and quiet. None but. I installed this drive into a pc-based video recording security process about 10 months ago. The personal computer records video information to the tough drive 24ǝ and fills up the tough drive in about 10 days. So just about every 10 days, I erase the hard drive and begin all more than. Been running non-quit ever given that its installation and I have yet to have a single issue with it. I wish all hard drives were this trustworthy.

Bought this for my aunt's all-in-1 HP computer when the original died since she didn't update the firmware Seagate sent her. She has had it for about a month and haven't heard any complaints. No news is great news. Only came in a anti-static sealed bag inside a Newegg.com box. Believed it could have been in a WD box inside a Newegg.com box, but it was undamaged, often a plus.

Comment:
I bought this drive to use as a backup and scratch disc for Photoshop simply because of it's speed. It has been working effectively. None but.

Function nicely, great excellent, Western Digital stands behind their item. I ordered three, two were good, 1 was DOA. I spent quite a although attempting to install it in a personal computer as a replacement prior to realizing the drive was the difficulty. I sent the drive back to Western Digital under warranty. Had to pay my personal shipping for a DOA (goodbye Egg!). Nonetheless, they did ship me back a 750 Gigabyte drive as a replacement, which was good. Every when in a though, a drive will be delivered poor from any business, unless they devote a lot of dollars relative to the manufacturing price to test them. But a shipping label with the RMA would have been good, WD!

Installed with ease on a new develop, loaded up WIN 7 64 bit and was fantastic to go. Purrs like a kitten. None. I have only utilized WD drives over the past eight years or so and have by no means really had any concerns. I'm a loyal customer.
