Quiet drive, low heat none so far I have had this identical model of drive for in my WHS server and there have been NO Troubles with the drive and it has been much more or less 24ǝ for more than two years.

Inexpensive. What can I say. It simply stopped operating. I've by no means prior to observed a drive fail that quickl;y.

Comment:
Western Digitals high quality and reliability. This drive was extremely low-cost and it went in to a spending budget create for a buddy. You get a lot for your cash in size and performance from this drive. These drives are so quiet you don't know they are even operating. Even immediately after a couple of years of challenging use they remain reputable and quiet. I wish it had a 32MB buffer but the Black wasn't worth the extra money for a very tight budget on this construct. On this a single it may possibly not have made a lot of a distinction anyway. All drives can fail at some point. I have by no means been dissapointed by a WD drive. I have had a couple of die but all had been at least additional than 6 years old. I purchase WD drives exclusively.

heavy sufficient for a paper weight--wonderful for target practice....got one more shipping label for RMA--Newegg wonderful support! Thanks!!! Just about every one particular of these failed inside 2 months.....on my seventh 1! I nonetheless have a new a single unopened in a box--I think I will save the time work and loss of data and just throw it in the trash....My new approach is to back up every thing on bluray disks........ These are the worst hardrives of all times bar none except Sgaetae. I can't believe WD has the temerity to sell this garbage. I had faith in them for more than twenty years but now they sell cr@p.....just don't buy something with a Western Digital name period--be protected--remain sane!

I bought my 1st 1 about two years ago. I bought three additional. The drive seem lighter and thinner than the a single I purchased two years ago. Does this imply they're on a single platter now? There was a rumor that it was 1 platter like the Samsung F3 500GB, but there was actually no way of telling unless you opened up the drive. None WD > Seagate

Affordable, reputable manufacturer Does not perform properly in an external situation. I bought the drive to use with a Rosewell external drive situation. Within in two weeks, the drive lost it's formatting twice. The last time, the information on the drive was unrecoverable. Great turnaround on the RMA.

Comment:
Formatted and installed in a Rosewill usb encloser for now. Operating properly. I have owned various WD internal HDs. No problems. Operating from a usb encloser, this drive is not slower than my primary installed HD. none For internal or usb enclosurers WD does very nicely because 2005 for me.

Got two of these in RAID and I enjoy it, the speed for writing and reading have at least doubled none Not a solid state drive but, using RAID, it almost compares to it and for a fraction of the cost

Dependable (have owned because 9ባ no difficulties), quiet, temp, price tag, sata 300. 3 yr. warranty. Man has the value gone down over the years.

Comment:
Nothing. Absolutely nothing at all. I've had this sitting on the shelf till I could replace a dying Hard drive. as soon as I plugged it in It died 1 hour soon after the OS installation completed. Large Rip. Now I have a paper weight. Also by looking at the past post it doesn't even appear like Western Digital even cares about their consumers feedback. I'm moving to Samsung after this. They have a greater reliability at the identical cost. Western Digital demands to start out reading comments relating to their drives and reply back to every person. It just shows that you really care if you do that way. If you don't do that then it just tends to make your organization image appear undesirable. I would not recommend WD for a while.

Outstanding economy drive. Runs fairly quickly, no hiccups. None

Rapid.Affordable. Reputable. None I needed to repair a children Computer that had gotten hit by lightning for as little $ as attainable.40 bucks for 500GB is really sweet and WD drives are the most reputable drives I have identified.With a WEI rating in Win 7 64-bit of five.9, it's the highlight of the new tiny process.Newegg... I forgot to order the HD on my major order, so I ordered it seperately. I ordered it Friday morning with UPS three-day. It was shipped from Tennessee and arrived Monday morning. Surprise!I assume newegg keeps preferred items like this close to the major UPS hub. The rest of my order came from CA and arrived Wednesday.

No issues installing, WD is a trusted brand of mine. Nothing at all yet. Got it on sale, happy I got it :P

Comment:
Low cost storage, average efficiency. Ordered 4 of them, one promptly failed the Smart test and had to be sent back, replacement works fine. With one out of five (after new a single), it is a high failure rate. Although challenging drives are finding less expensive and more affordable, top quality appears to be becoming an issue across all brands, I have had Seagates and Western Digital drives fail immediately. Appears to be the norm now.

500GB FOR 50 BUCKS @ 7200rpm NOISY WHINE WHEN BOOTING AND In the course of GAMING REFINE THE UNIT Without having AFFECTING THE Price

Comment:
Doesn't seem like I need to have to contribute to the fanfare about this drive... But in any case, I did a build for my aunt utilizing this Drive, a Gigabyte Mother board and an Intel E5500. Utilizing a 40 GB Boot partition this booted into Windows XP Pro in 34 seconds, from a dead quit. I was amazed. None, provided it lasts.
