Comment:
quickly!no notable heat boost over preceding, slower drive Slightly louder than other slower drives, and utilizes slightly a lot more battery life, but this is to be expected when the drive is more quickly. Excellent drive, i'm incredibly pleased with my acquire.I necessary some additional space over the 320 so i picked this up, now I'm thinking about selecting up the 500gb version of this drive, along with an adapter to exchange my optical drive for one more HDD. (Unibody MBP)Extremely pleased, nicely worth the dollars.

The very best laptop drive income can get. I've purchased 3, and enjoy them. None

Top quality, reliability and speed. Effortlessly installed into Acer laptop escalating storage from 160gb to 500gb. Fantastic price perfromance ratio. WD is generally my initially choice for storage needs specifically the Scorpio Black line. None, nonetheless would like to see these at a lower cost. Excellent selection for laptop upgrades. Noticable (although slight) efficiency boost in access\read\write times.

Tiny, quiet, rapid. Only 16 MB cache. Wish it had 32. I utilised it as a Win 7 boot disk in a desktop. Fast and stable.

Cheap, Fast, and uncomplicated to install. I notice no noise distinction from a 5200 rpm to a 7200 rpm, and my battery life remains the same. Very advocate this drive. It didn't come on a silver platter.

I am working with this drive with a Giada Cube Series CUBE-N3-D2WB, which I am utilizing as a HTPC. Installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and it functions perfect. None so far It would be a nice investment for those who willing to upgrade your laptop/macbooks with stock 5400rmp drives.

This is a follow-up evaluation. It's pretty swift and typically quiet. As others have pointed out, this drive comes with vibration. When I 1st installed it in my MBP I didn't think it would be an issue but the longer I use the machine, the additional annoying the vibration is becoming. I'd advocate searching at other 500GB 7200RPM drives if they prove smoother. The only reason for obtaining this 1 over an additional alternative that I can see is the five yr warranty. I feel vibration when I rest my hands on or hold up the laptop. I hear the vibration when it causes the MBP to vibrate against whatever surface it is sitting on. It's like a smaller bump below your foot; it's not acutely painful but over time the foot gets quite sore. I'd purchase one more drive if I was to do it more than.

Fast, easy to install, very good top quality. Operates as expected and have had no troubles soon after 4 months. Go WD black and you in no way go back (to green, blue, SE, and so on). None at this time. I have purchased WD items prior to and have been a lot more fortunate than most. But I acquire the leading goods, now the lower top quality goods. This is a single of them. My Toshiba Qosmio X505-896 came with a second bay so I picked this up and installed it. Fits nicely, bios recognized, absolutely nothing to it. Now I have triple 500GB drives (external 3rd). Speed is very very good. As advertised, fully bare so absolutely nothing will come in the box except the hdd. I choose the larger top quality WD items, not so considerably the green and blue. I would buy this once more. And I would buy the larger capacity (at least double the size) when it is obtainable / less expensive price. The warranty makes me emotionally erect, compared the shorter warranties of other drives.

This is the closest you can come in a mechanical difficult drive to be as swift as nowadays's Strong State Challenging Drives. Incredibly swift, rapid spool up time,seek time, and 16MB cache is excellent for a 500GB drive. One particular of the fastest laptop drives I ever owned and extremely happy. Rest assured that a five year warranty is included with this Tricky Drive. Whisper quiet and doesn't run hot. None If you're looking to upgrade your laptop hard drive, look no further. Western Digital Scorpio BLACK line is the performance line for WD's laptop difficult drives. Does what it is intended to do. Personally, I think Western Digital manufactures the most reputable Hard Disks out there, their product is definitely on point! Can't go wrong with New Egg...they often deliver 100% and by no means been disappointed.

Drives run cool and quiet in Raid can't even hear them. Works good in my Alienware M17xr2 which had 2 160GB WD Scorpio black. Now I can actually install all my steam games lol. Absolutely nothing genuinely but a lot more speed is under no circumstances a negative issue.

Rapidly, quite fast. I saw good speed bump when it worked. Dead after only one particular week. Almost lost my information. I was in a position to recover from a different drive I used to move data between laptops. I wish electonics had been what they applied to be - trustworthy

I bought this difficult drive to replace the original 320 GB, 5400 rpm HDD in my Dell Inspiron 1720 notebook Computer, and I couldn't be happier with it..! With 16 MB of cache and 7200 rpm, it equals my desktop laptop's HDD with a Windows Knowledge Index of 5.9 for the disk data transfer rate. You can't beat this efficiency with out acquiring an SSD. It runs quietly and is noticeably faster than the original. None. Till SSD's come down in value, you won't beat this Western Digital HDD for the funds.I dual-boot with Ubuntu 10.ten and Windows 7 since the 500 GB challenging drive provides a lot of storage space.As usual, NEW EGG packaged the shipment quite well with bubble wrap about the drive, cardboard protection about that, and styrofoam peanuts for full protection in the outer box. NEW EGG is the best..!

Rapid HDD with excellent space. It's a HDD Went into a 2009 13" MBP, EFI 1.6. Runs good. No bad blocks/sectors. Just as quiet as the old Hitachi 5K500 drive. No vibrations. Every little thing is quick and snappy. five Stars.

Fantastic price for the size and speed. Drive was not really DOA, it survived one boot sequence. Right after its second boot the personal computer no longer saw it nor did the BIOS. Time to RMA :(

Well worth the funds, Installed this in my gf's laptop when the Seagate died 鴺GB 5200RPM...) Overall no concerns.SUPER Quickly shipping and as often newegg rocks!!! None The drive is 7200RPM which is a massive +++ (faster than my ASUS G72-GX laptop, also from newegg!) Battery life did not matter simply because the laptop battery in her laptop or computer won't hold a charge any longer, and a replacement is one thing like 150 bucks!! XO
