Silent and Swift! I would say it is at least as quick as my Raptor 10k rpm without having any of the noise! Each have 16mb cache None None really. Plugged it in and have pretty considerably forgot about it...it just works

Very good paperweight for light papers. Lastly had a likelihood to develop my new Pc. Took the drive out of a brand new sealed bag. It is deceased. Not a mark on it, it's just a dud. Second time WD Caviar has failed me. In no way yet again. Do not get this drive. It is unacceptable that a BRAND NEW drive is not capable to perform out of a BRAND NEW anti-static bag and a BRAND NEW personal computer.

Operates as expected. Things load a tiny quicker than they did on my previous IDE drive. None It was time to ditch these pesky ribbon cables a lengthy time ago. SATA II and III are the way to go.

effortless install, economical, sata none so far two peeves about hdd are 320 actually means 298, and no sata cord. Have to acquire a cord and get nicked the ū-7 for shipping Crucial note although. I tried to clone my partition, reformat and do a fresh install onto the original wd hdd utilizing the acropolis computer software via wd's site. I virtually lost it all. That plan is flawed so uncover yet another program to enable transfer your stuff. Has to do with mbr and at that point you are operating off a bootable disk at it's mercy.

Excellent drive. Great access speed and reliable. I bought this drive so I could reconfigure the array to RAID five. None. This is the third one of these I've bought. I have utilised the other two in a RAID array for more than two years with no difficulties. Running RAID 5 will minimize my storage capacity from 640 GB to 490 GB, but I haven't required that a lot capacity.

I've had 2 of these in RAID for 2+ years. Performance is good, temperatures wonderful. Regarless of my concerns, I give 5 stars mainly because I've gotten much more than my funds's worth from these drives. One drive died SLOWLY following 2.5 years... randomly not registering in my RAID controller on boots, and randomly locking Win 7. When a month at very first, then at some point each hour. I really should have taken the warning signs to heart, but I ended up getting to destripe my drives over many attempts to get all my information. Other people speak about the noise, but my situation is chucked full of fans, so I couldn't hear the drives even if I wanted to. I'm back here now since I've considered simply replacing the drive that served me so properly.

Ran Didnt run.Ive had continuous Bsods for months. They'd be far adequate apart (every 10 or 15 wake-ups from sleep mode) so I didnt care sufficient (figured it could be every thing from BIOS to Win 7, so I didnt care as well significantly).Welp it was the HDD. It never ever would pass WD's own testing app saying the Intelligent anything or other wouldnt function, but all CHCKDSK's had been fine and the thing worked rapid and great sufficient.Welp, it died with alot of unbacked up info right now. I must have just sent it back, but its challenging when something functions..albeit occasionaly.Unfortuantnly, the neighborhood personal computer retailer didnt have any modest enough drives (im not a torrent hound) and I had to go to BB to get another WD caviar blue 320gig.Hoping this 1 passes WD's HDD app test.

Works specifically as it must. No data loss/corruption in a year. Not a con actually, but due to the fact I haven't run any benches I can't comment on the speed of the drive. The Caviar Blue line as a whole is great for the price range builder, or for low cost storage options.

-almost 'plug-n-play'-just the size i needed-wonderful price-Newegg shipping-not a single hiccup in more than a year none bought this drive originally to supplement my Dell's 80gb drive. has worked flawlessly ever due to the fact. is now my key HDD soon after updating to Win7 and nevertheless operating like a champ!!! this is a actually fantastic drive for these people who know they don't actually Need to have a lot of space. i will be needing a lot more soon and am looking at the Caviar Blue 640GB model, but this has served my purposes incredibly effectively and will continue to do so in another build.

This drive has completed almost everything I've asked of it and accomplished it with a smile!-Very good Price-Good Cache-Great Speed-Quiet-Rawr!I would buy this drive again in a heart beat! None, this drive has been working as expected for Ƴ months now! I purchased this drive due the it's use in my HTPC. Since live tv is continually writing, I bought this drive to take the wear and tear away from my big storage drive. It stores all reside tv for 24 hours and is then deleted which (if the tv is left on by accident) can be an endless loop. It also stores a windows partition for StarCraft.

Overall this has been a wonderful drive. two out of three have been DOA in the past week.

I purchased a single of these three months ago and it's nonetheless working perfectly. Now I purchased a different 1 when the sale was running, so I grabbed this for 35 bucks.Speedy tiny drives, no noise, and extremely cool. It's a fantastic drive if you're not prepared to commit to a Raptor or an SSD. Working with these primarily for storage, but can do almost everything else you want quickly at a low cost cost. None. It operates. I've employed a Raptor in my previous develop, but I'm just not particular that it's worth it if you're on a budget. All the builds I've produced were on a certain budget I'd limit myself to. Just stick with the fantastic ol' fashioned 7200 RPM drives till SSD gets low cost or if you seriously want the most speed achievable.They perform, they're trustworthy, and they final. It's tricky to get superior than that.

Comment:
Quite reliable with fantastic access rate. Great price. Great for RAID array. None. I have been operating two of these drives in a RAID configuration for about 2 years with no difficulties. I just bought a third so that I can reconfigure my method into a RAID five. No troubles with the curent configuration, I would just like to add some redundancy to the program.

Comment:
They were pretty quickly at the time I installed them. I purchased 3 at the exact same time and they failed a single-a-year more than the last 3 years. I have some WD drives of lower capacity that have been running for ten years, so I was disappointed that these didn't final a tiny longer.

Comment:
Works nicely, really quiet A single of the four I ordered failed following three weeks. Wouldn't spin up. Slightly disappointed in WD

Comment:
Can't beat a WD tough drive. They also give you the option of downloading totally free copy computer software. How can you go incorrect. All the HD drives I have bought over the past numerous years have been WD and have yet to have a issue. ( hope I didn't just jinx myself). none generally watch for the no cost shipping get's the greatest for your dollar.

Cheap I have RMA'ed 1 drive to newegg mainly because it would half function. I replaced that with a different dive and it worked wonderful.. I received the replacement drive and figured I could let it sit on the shelf for a week or two without a difficulty.. nicely that a single also was DOA this time after opening the static bag I observed that a corner of the challenging drive was damaged and now it has been 30 days.. I had to RMA it back to the manufacture... by the way the replacement besides the corder harm only clicks and well you can hear stuff in the hdd rattling around.SO two bad drives the very first one and the replacement .. Would not get once more based on getting 2 drives bad! Hope the 3rd drive when I get it from WD directly will function.. Untill then AHHH

operates good none Western Digital is my top option for HDs

- 16 MB cache- Quiet tiny drive. Does what I will need it to do. Just a tad pricey. Could have gotten 500GB Caviar Blue for the same value. xP (too late)

Comment:
It has been carrying out its job. Seems fast. Non yet

Comment:
It's nonetheless going strong. I got this drive two years and 2 days ago, and it's been good. I use it to retailer my music collection, so I can't attest to its performance as an OS drive or anything, but it's created it two years without having so substantially as a hiccup. N'ary a a single

Comment:
Function Wonderful, no issues right here. None Would purchase once again, got 2 of them on promo: ุ each shipped
