Comment:
It's considerably heavier than the seagate drives which tells me that it is created of greater good quality supplies. Regardless of the truth that it's not 64mb, it's nonetheless incredibly rapidly. I have been making use of this drive for 6 months now (had it as a back up waiting for my final seagate drive to die and it did) and have had no troubles with it. Simple to install. It can get noisy upon commence up and when I am looking for anything. I don't believe it's a undesirable sign even though.

Good drive, ordered 3 for identical builds. Incredibly quickly, with plenty of room for the kids games. 1 of the drives reports a 7.6 WEI instead of the expected five.9. Wth? I have no concept, and I know windows knowledge index is not worth considerably. Just strange. None.

None. This drive is incredibly slow for a contemporary drive. It averaged 80 MB/s with HDtune. My Samsungs are a 40 MB/s faster, and cheaper. I hate leaving poor reviews, but lets be honest right here; there seriously are bigger and more quickly tough drives out there for less dollars! Do not waste your income on this drive. If you insist on buying this drive, look on feebay for one manufactured before October 2010. They had a very good factor going with the two platter design.... Why they switched to this poop-shoot 3 platter style is anyone's guess.

Newegg's return policy. Tends to make loud clicking noises even though in operation, sounds like a defective or damaged bearing. RMA for replacement. Will write one more overview (hopefully with additional eggs) when I obtain the replacement.

Nicely packed! A box containingthe drive inside air packing inside yet another box! Never ever received a difficult drive packed properly or even excellent from The egg, till this one. When on a past1sale UPS handed me a half bubble wrapped hd with my address taped on. HD is still working but I stopped shopping for for a whilst. Now the packing issue seems fixed, time will inform! For me WD drives, spinner types, have been faultless. None as of writing. SSD not for me, however. For me WD drives are tough and properly outlast their 5 year warranty. Newegg shipping has began packing adequately, for me anyway. I am still a major WD fan, but try the HD's upon arrival so I can exchange if needed, never ever had to yet. I just took a 37 gb 10,000 out of service, signed by Abe Lincoln.

Comment:
Personal four of them. Decent transfer rates. One RMA to Western Digital right after a single year of light use. WD sent me a replacement. DOA as properly. The third replacement is lastly operating.Now ordered 1 a lot more from NewEgg. This one DOA. Have to pay for the return shipping as per NewEgg's policy. DEAD ON ARRIVAL! Undesirable packaging. Bubble wrap layer deflated at one end. No external signs of packaging harm. Extremely frustated to wait four days for a defective item and to have to spend RETURN SHIPPING on leading of that. Ooh, and wait an additional 2 weeks to get the replacement. Not certain if NewEgg's poor packaging or manufacturer are at fault. But why is buyer charged for the return shipping. My only fault is that I bough a thing from NewEgg.

Properly built platter kind tricky drive, really fast, runs cool, good value, fantastic storage capacity, WD good quality and reliability Nicely, it's not an SSD but then it IS a lot cheaper and nonetheless fairly fast. Excellent packaging job by the NewEgg shipping team. This is Considerably appreciated. I don't have the time to mess with RMAs, so some additional care in packing goes a lengthy way with me. The bubble wrap and cardboard surround do a wonderful job of protecting the drive during shipment. I bet that this has lowered NewEgg HD RMAs drastically.

Quiet operation.Installed Win7 and several programs with no issues.5 year warranty is nice, took advantage of it in the past (years ago, not for this drive) and remember it becoming painless. None. Wish I got 2 through the Shell Shocker price tag. I'll order an additional one particular when my wife isn't looking.

It's a excellent challenging drive. I bought two. Both started up, formatted, partitioned, and are operating solid and smoothly. No difficulties. None thus far... ...I want to dig into the bios and figure out why they are reading so slowly. They drug my 7.9 windows experience score down to five.9 due to slow read/write times. Hmmm...

Comment:
It's a difficult drive. It stores stuff. The second drive was quickly recognized by Windows 7 64-bit with out concern. First a single was DOA. Second a single is alright, but tends to make crunchy noises when it's reading/writing. Mainly inaudible, but nonetheless louder than other individuals I'm accustomed to making use of. It also makes me nervous because the DOA one created these noises as properly - only it was considerably, considerably louder. RMA through the manufacturer's web site was reasonably painless, with decent tracking and turnaround time. No get in touch with with a human becoming, which honestly, I appreciated, since sitting on hold for a call center is not my thought of "fun".I had to get inventive with bubble wrap & cardboard - they were really certain in the RMA instructions about how they would not accept "poorly" packaged drives.

I bought this as a replacement to a Hitachi 500GB SATA drive. Despite the fact that the drive appears fine, it is substantially louder than my final drive when the disk is becoming read. Other than that, the drive works fine and I'm satisfied with the expense (especially for the quantity of disk space that it comes with). It's louder than my last hard disk drive.

WD makes good solid drives - of all sizes. It is not an absolute SUPER drive, but then what I want is HIGH performance, plus it KEEPS GOING. WD does that. Never ever know what you are receiving from WD. The exact same portion number appears to come with various numbers and varieties of platters. See beneath. What I believed I was obtaining was a TWO platter model with 320GB per platter. But the 00J7B0 run number I got seems to be associated with 250GB platters, so that it may have three platters, one side NOT Used. I DO NOT WANT Much more STUFF RUNNING IN THERE THAN IT Requirements.
