WD WESTERN DIGITAL WESTERN DIGITAL 160GB EIDE PATA 7200 RPM

Comment:
I've had the hd for a couple of months now. I never use IDE except for my xbox which is alive and properly. Hd does well as of speed and is fairly quiet. A little pricey for a IDE but way less expensive then it was three years ago. I have been using WD hd's for years and honestly they are the greatest made.

One particular of a few decrease capacity PATA drives still offered if your system's BIOS limits utilization of greater capacities. Very poor reliability. This drive failed within 24-48 hours of installation.

Huge Capacity, low price. Easy install. Fantastic software program from Western Digital web page. S.M.A.R.T. Error right out of the box.Newegg swapped out rapidly with no concerns asked. Best HDD upgrade for my mesozoic Dell Dimension 4400 program.

Affordable. Appears to be a greater than normal failure price for this drive. I have my own IT business and I replace a lot of really hard drives. More than the previous year I have had three of these drives (out of about 30) fail following about 1 to 1.five years. This is abnormally higher for a difficult drive.

Strong, good assure, trustworthy, quick. Not noisy or hot running. Put a lot of these into buyer computers devoid of a single failure.Just a top quality challenging drive at a very excellent price. I'm generally confident my customers will be pleased with these. Nothing really. IDE drives below 250Mbytes are acquiring tougher to locate. I'm glad Western Digital keeps putting these out there for repairs/upgrades on older computer systems.And as usually, Newegg service is the finest.

Low cost Drive Dead right after 2 Days. Laptop will not recognize drive and you can hear the head clicking.

Value Initial a single I received - DOA

Decent when it performs, i guess. Installed the drive into raid 1 array, immediately after rebuild the Clever and raid controller went crazy reporting read errors, waiting for replacement RMA. Issues come about, drive reliability is on the low end these days. Will update when i get the replacement. Have had 3 SCSI disks for over ten years, they still spin at 15K RPM, the only drawback is the size.

Affordable for an aging ATA-100 drive. Rapidly and quiet. I put this in a customer's machine and he exclaimed to me just how quiet the drive is. None so far.

Drive is quiet. Lightweight. Clean searching good design and style. Purchased 8ቮ񳏊 (allow shipping and set up time) and died on 10ቮ񳏊.To be fair, WD shipped me a replacement drive in less that 6 hours of submitting my sophisticated RMA request. It is not right here however so I can not tell you what they sent me in return.RMA approach by means of WD was really easy. Took me significantly less than 3 minutes to full. Incredibly simple. Smaller drive, smaller cache but I knew this when I ordered t, so not certain if this counts as a con.The rapid death of this drive, nonetheless, I do have to say that this is the initially new WD drive I have had to ship in in three years. I deal with ten-20 new WD drives a week.I have had a few other drives fail, most within the warranty period, but that was after three-4 years of use. (I use RE or RE2 drives, at least for the most element, five year warranty)You ought to contemplate a 5 year drive no matter who tends to make it. We employed this one particular mainly because of price. I would still advise WD and this drive, I think this was just a negative apple. Not considerably else to say, WD tends to make fantastic drives and treats their client base nicely, in my opinion. I will get much more, as I currently have since this died. Feces occurs sometimes. The difficulty lies with how much stink you can manage.

Did the trick. Purchased it to replace a failed drive in my father-in-laws computer. None so far. Could have been more affordable.

None Can be detected as a data drive but can not boot it up even after a number of attempts to initialize and reformat

Works out of the box. None at this point. NewEgg had rapid shipping as usual. Incredibly good to add a HDD for a friend with extra RAM from NewEgg too.

For an IDE, 8MB Cache it's a quickly drive. I'm really satisfied with it. none WD Drives are the greatest.

The cost was good. I was replacing a nevertheless-working drive in an old Dell, and wanted to copy the old drive to the new drive. I knew that I could download a absolutely free Western Digitial only edition of the outstanding Acronis TrueImage application from the WD web-site, which I did. I attached each old and new drives to a spare IDE cable in my personal desktop Pc, where I ran the Acronis TrueImage WD Specific computer software below Windows 7, to copy the WinXP system, files and all from the old 40 GB drive to the new 160 GB drive. It was performed in about an hour (copied 15 GB of files), which seemed awesome to me.Place the new drive in the place where the old drive had been in the Dell, and, voila! All completed! Super effortless.And, with a new harddrive and the two GB of memory, the 7 year old Dell 3. GHz P4 runs like a champ. Quite responsive; prepared to do Web duties for another couple of years, in all probability.Ordered the drive on Sunday; UPS delivered on Tuesday afternoon -- NewEgg Rocks! The Aconis TrueImage software was a small less user-friendly than I expected, doing the copy operation in my typical desktop Computer. I had to choose "manual" at every step, and couldn' t rely on the automatic settings -- the default was close, but not really appropriate.I was a tiny disappointed that there's no "black" edition in IDE, any longer. Nevertheless, compared to the old drive, this new one was several methods up, and the performance get was instantly obvious. I was upgrading an old Dell, which had had a memory upgrade to 2 GB, but was nevertheless pokey, simply because of its aging, 40 GB drive. I could have gone with a bigger drive, for quite little $, but 160 GB was still 4x what was in it prior to, and I reasoned that a smaller sized unit may run cooler and be additional trustworthy. The Dell was a compact case model, so I was concerned about heat. The manufacturers claim otherwise, but I can't believe that there isn't a penalty for much more platters, in the higher capacity units.

WD has usually been excellent to me till I got this specific one. A thing was a miss with it, not certain. It would boot up at occasions and then subsequent begin up the bios wouldn't see it. Just a terrible apple
