Lightning rapidly, practically silent, universally compatible, and reputable as it gets. I have constantly utilized WD drives and have never ever regretted it. I have this drive partitioned into 250GB sections employing various windows and linux formats and it works beautifully. I've by no means had so much as a terrible sector or any other drive associated concern for that matter given that I installed it over a year ago. There are some brands worth paying a little added for and this drive is a best example of that. If you are in the marketplace for an internal SATA, regardless of storage size, I would definitely suggest WD. None. If you are something like me 750GB goes quickly so a thing over a terabyte would be additional proper.

Swift drive, fantastic cost when i bought them for on sale final March. WD is excellent for handling their warranties. Purchased 3 and had to rma two of them. i received them rapid from WD but had to rma a single of the drives i got back from the initially rma. Excellent factor i had my drives set up in a raid for i would have lost a lot of information.

It runs fantastic. Highly advise adding this to your Computer. None. I've utilized a Caviar blue. It was the 250GB 8mb cache model. It was not close to the level this one particular is at. This thing smokes the competition and its brothers. I adore it.

Great drive. It cant be beat for the price. The noise level from this drive is larger than other individuals but incredibly quiet in my situation in spite of other testimonials. None as of however. If your in the market place for a rapid difficult drive for less than one hundred bucks, get it.

Great Value, Superb Newegg service, Straightforward to install and get rid of. This drive was to be employed in a new build, but BIOS would not recognize it. Installed as a second drive in a new Dell Win 7ኜ machine and BIOS saw it, but reported as a Byte capacity drive. Thanks to Newegg return policy, I must have a new a single on its way in a couple of days. However, I really should not have to spend for the return shipping for a DOA drive.

I purchased two at the very same time and 1 is at present working flawlessly as my principal difficult drive in my workstation. Good speeds and substantially quicker than my old WD 74GB 10kRPM Raptor drive. I purchased two and one is pretty substantially DOA. I installed the bad a single into a Linux workstation, formatted it, and it seemed to perform just fine until after I had copied a ㅌGB backup test archive to it, to test transfer speeds, and it appeared to have copied successfully, but upon reading it back out for sha1sum it failed threeǚ way by way of the file read.I ran smartctl -a /dev/sdc to the drive and discovered that its Present_Pending_Sector and Offline_Uncorrectable had been in the 240 raw_value range. So, I did what WD's tools would have completed, attempted offline and lengthy drive tests, it failed 90% of the way by way of. And once again I did what WD's tool would have carried out, wrote zeroes to the drive utilizing:dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc (byte size)៴MFollowing that I was in a position to once again successfully format the drive and copy that very same archive file to it, but this time it passed the read checksum.Present_Pending_Sector and Offline_Uncorrectable are starting to clime once again, so its clearly time for an RMA. When the drive in the Linux workstation was operating I saw these transfer speeds for the duration of a big linear write and read of a ㅌGiB archive file᛼-127MiB per second create.118-174MiB per second read.NOTE: in my dd parameters listed above I had to modify the actual two letter parameter to the words "byte size" due to the fact apparently newegg's overview inappropriate word filter kicked in, lame....

Awesome, rapid, effortless to use, reliabe. It isn't a large 1TB+ challenging drive, but for the quality and reliablity, can't beat a WD caviar black HD. None. My first, and certainly not final, newegg purchase! Had a small hick-up with the dreaded 'blue screen cease error' but that was more of an challenge from installing Win7 although at operate via a various computer system. Took the HD home and whiped the HD clean and reinstalled Win7 - worked excellent.

Fantastic Value. Fantastic Speeds. Uncomplicated Set up no difficulties. Nothing.

Wonderful specs, so-so price tag. Came DOA, even so Newegg's Buyer Service was totally astounding in their helpfulness. Plugged the drive in to format and set up Windows 7 the very first time and got an error that the drive was corrupted. Got an RMA for a complete refund, picked up a 1TB Caviar Black that is operating well so far.

Extremely trusted. Never ever had any complications.five year warranty.It's more rapidly than the 4 year old 120GB SATA 1.5gbps drive it replaced. 250GB platters. Low by nowadays's standards.Gets warm. Averages 41C.Loud without AAM set to 128, and then drive performance suffers tremendously.Performance is just average when compared to the newer generation of high overall performance drives, which includes the new high capacity Caviar Blacks and Spinpoints. I replaced this with a Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB drive, and haven't looked back.
