Good quality drive. Rapidly and quiet. Working effectively in RAID1. 5yr Warranty. None. I've ordered many drives from Newegg and they commonly pack them rather poorly. I'm not shocked that a big quantity of all brands of harddrives fail when they are shipped in the corner of a box and the packing material only protects a couple sides.

a. Perform as advertisedb. Look to run at a affordable tempc. Decent overall performance None so far Have had these in my Synology NAS in RAID 1 for around eight months. They access at affordable speeds ; haven't noticed problems with copying 4GB film files, but I also don't have numbers for you. Overall, they haven't died, haven't hiccuped and are strong so far. We'll see in years two and three ....

Title tells every thing. This was my very first on-line order for any Computer components considering that I havn't trusted online malls... and... as I expected, I got truly disappointed. I'm RMAing now.

Great size, quick and low cost.WD drive copy / migration software program is pretty simple to use: copied each my key Windows partition and a second data drive to the new WDs with just a couple of clicks each. A single had a poor sector that had to be RMA'ed. They are somewhat noisy; the seeks are audible from outside the situation. Noticeably louder in that respect than either of the 7200 RPM drives they replaced.

Had this drive for over a year now. It's 1 of the most accessed drives on my machine, which runs 24ǝ, and performs flawlessly. Wish I'd purchased two when they were on sale.

Fancy Black label on the Drive. Significant capacity. Designed for HIGH Overall performance. 1. I lost all my backup information.2. I can't give egg.Do you need to have s'more explanation? See 'other thoughts' First a single was DOA. I returned it and got a new one particular. It seemed superior and fast. It worked great for 2 days. Yesterday, it began stopping and going even though reading this drive. This morning, my Computer completly stopped when I clicked on E:. I rebooted. This drive showed up on the explorer window but... with neither capacity information nor no cost space information.I executed WD's diagnosis software and... it says this:Test Choice: EXTENDED TEST Model Quantity: WDC WD1001FALS-00E3A0 Unit Serial Number: WD-WCATR5401288 Firmware Quantity: 05.01D05 Capacity: 1000.20 GB Wise Status: PASS Test Result: FAIL Test Error Code: 08-Also a lot of poor sectors detected.

None At the time that I purchased these Ɣ) drives, there was no mention of lack of assistance in hardware raid environments. I was only produced conscious of this immediately after quite a few hours of frustration in trying to set up two 1 gig raid 1 arrays. Then a tech help particular person nonchalantly explained that they will only perform with computer software raid.I have read that their far more costly Enterprise drives are shaky, also.I not too long ago replaced them with four Hitachi Ultrastar drives, and setup was rapid and flawless, as it ought to be.No far more WD for me.

Very excellent, runs quick, under no circumstances had any lag, really solid and worth the cash. none

Although it ran, it was incredibly very fast for a 1TB disk. A tiny noisier than my Samsung and Hitachi drives but that isn't a issue simply because it nevertheless runs quiet.Typical transfer rate about 65 MB/s for large files (gb, avi) and 100+ MB/s for small files (᝺mb, mp3).5 year warranty. Had this drive powered for 2 hours just before it failed. Through a large copy of media files (avi and mp3) it encountered R/W errors. Upon checking the disk it was in Clever fail with bad sectors and r/w head troubles. Really disapointing. It ran a bit hot but I'm positive that was due to the head troubles because it was possessing to work added hard around all the bad sectors. My rating is solely based on the drive itself. If there had been 2 ratings, one for the item and a single for Newegg my rating would be thisɅ egg - Drive5 eggs - NeweggI would never take a likelihood on a white box drive from any other vendor, ever. Newegg promptly issued an RMA and I'm now waiting on the replacement to arrive. Newegg is prime notch.Also, this would be a Fantastic drive for a household NAS for either RAID5 or RAID1. If you have trusted backups, the speed (for house use) would be unbelievable in RAID0.Even even though this drive died the day it was installed, I would nonetheless advise this to any individual hunting for large capacity drive that doesn't sacrifice speed for storage.

Superb router for the dollars. I use it in my server so it is active 24ǝ. None

Was capable to format the drive before it died. Died half way thru cloning process. Ran WD Diagnostics and drive failed. Was not impressed with the way the drive was packaged for shipment. Bubble wrap and cardboard box.
