Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

Comment:
The one particular drive that looks to be surviving infancy has typical benchmark study speeds that appear like they will effortlessly fill a gigabit network. Bench mark write speeds are much greater than expected as effectively. With my apologies, the numbers had been lost so I cannot post them. Out of the three WD10EALX 1TB that have come to my door, the very first went back the subsequent day, for it was DOA, the subsequent gave wise warnings of uncorrectable sectors and read write errors the subsequent week, and so met with its RMA. The final received as a replacement for the DOA is thus far surviving infancy without having errors.Benchmarked seek time is fairly a bit larger than I expected. I seasoned a poor run of new drives for my household media/file server project. The remaining WD10EALX I am utilizing is performing good, but I locate I have little faith in it creating the distance. The read and create speeds benchmark fairly fantastic for a mechanical drive, Real world application has only had light use, no hiccups and no slow transfer speeds thus far, after I am performed with debugging the network I will have to place it to an aggressive real planet test.

does what its supposed as well. its quick and problem absolutely free therefore far none

Speedy, fantastic price, reputable. None.

It showed up ontime Noisy and slow, incredibly erratic transfer rates from 35-90 generally around 60. go with the black.. more quickly/quieter/more consistant

none if it only lasts a couple weeks devoid of genuinely even using it.the RMA process is fairly straightforward. had this drive about three weeks now. employed for a backup drive. no data genuinely on it yet considering that its a new computer make. start off getting notices from windows 7 that the drive is reporting failures. did a diagnostics test on it and it says its has terrible sectors that are non recoverable and it is failing. S.M.A.R.T. is also reporting failures. at least Newegg issued and RMA with no troubles. this is the second item I have had to RMA on this Computer develop. hope the replacement lasts a tiny longer than this 1.

Affordable, rapid, storage. SATA 6. 򞀠 plus 32MB of cache=FAST! Ordered two drives, one was DOA, the other died inside 15 minutes of use. Each drives have separate serial numbers so you can pretty a lot rule out a poor manufacturing run.One drive showed up on the personal computer as 2.2TB... but wait, these points are 1TB. So, it would not format with "could not allocate memory" errors, no matter what partition size I employed.The other drive formatted and worked wonderful! For all of 15 minutes... so I spent the next TWO HOURS trying to get these drives working in other systems, diverse cables, unique jumper settings. Absolutely nothing. Nada, Zip. Zilch Terrible, horrible, no very good, really undesirable drives. Years ago I had a poor knowledge with WD and I vowed to never ever obtain from them again. I purchased 5 drives from a nearby pc shop, and four of them had died inside 6 months. Well, about 10 years passed, so I figured maybe I would give them yet another possibility, I mean Apple puts WD drives in their desktop Macs, ideal? Certainly they've stepped up their manufacturing method or good quality control, appropriate?Wrong. TWO drives, each dead within the hour? That is amazing, I imply they really should win an award or anything for that.

Reasonably priced, rapidly (as H.D.D. tech goes), quiet None however You'll want a slimline SATA cable to connect this thing to your mobo - I advise the ones with power currently attached to it (keeps your case much less tangled with wires). Unfortunately, Newegg doesn't sell them. I bought mine from a competitor.

If you look at the specs, these WD drives are among the fastest 7200 RPM drives when it comes to writing to the platters Ƒ Gb/s). Everybody's controller will do three Gb/s or 6 Gb/s, but once the cache is complete... properly, we wait for the create to disk. I have two of these in a RAID on my ASUS P8P67 PRO with an Intel 2600k, zero concern---and if I did have an concern, I have self-confidence that WD will make it appropriate. None It's handful of and far among when I've had a undesirable drive from WD.

Comment:
Its fast and really easy to set up. Its a small more than priced, I would get it even though its on sale. I plan to get a handful of far more HD's and raid them. I'll maintain you posted how it functions with the raid.

CheapishSupposed to be fast annoyingly loud when activeNot quick Had it for about five months, no breakdowns butDreafully slow, tests show 70 mb/s max speed, 50 typical

Comment:
have a few of these installed, been using them for some years and they are still working like new. bios detection under AHCI takes a long time though might be something with the boot volume

Comment:
Price when on sale, dependability, speed. None Have never had a poor WD drive and this was no excwption. @ ๊, I'm incredibly happy for WD's middle of the road HDD. For N'A who reviewed this immediately after a DOA. DOA's will come about now and then. Please dont evaluation a solution if you've never ever utilized it, or rate it soon after a DOA. Clue: when dealing with electronics, there is a failure rate, deal with it and move on.

Comment:
Quiet, significant storage, and stable so far. HD can\'t use SATA 6. Gb/s connection. The hard drive doesn't take care of data any more rapidly than the typical difficult drives at operate. Had I identified this I would have saved a tiny cash and stuck with the three..

Comment:
supposed to be quickly, unknown so far (DOA) DOA, have to pay shipping back, as a result obvioius delays Power on, spins up, a couple of clicks and shuts down. Dead.

Comment:
The tricky drive seems to be a ok drive The a single i got has poor sectors on it so now my new pc is down so i can send it back to replace it

Comment:
See other thoughts See other thoughts I do not own this product but I just had to post to ask everyone this question.For these of you who claim that this doesn't dish out 6Gb/s, are you positive your MOTHERBOARD supports the 6Gb/s speed? If it doesnt, that is why.

My Seagate died prematurely and needed a fast and large replacement. Western Digital is back and definitely has good products and warranty. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another and I do all my shopping from NCIX because they are fast, reliable, courteous, and very easy to deal with.

Absolutely nothing it was Doa when I got about to installing it was past the 30 day so I had to rma through western digital Had been to start it arrived doa. Got the new 1 needed some aid and western digitals assistance sucks! The application that you can down load on there site to format the drive and copy your old drive isn't a full version. What subsequent are they going to start off charging for drivers? I wish I could give them no eggs! Western digital? Seriously? I will never ever get anything with there name on it for certain save your funds and acquire seagate!

Large capacity, inexpensive with discount, supposed to be more quickly than WD greens Undesirable sectors detected right after initial use. Have to RMA for replacement. I would have purchased the WD green if not the discount due to the fact I just require it for video storage. Anyway, the drive I got is really slow on any execution. 1M/s for copying, get stuck when you right click on a file, and so on. I don't know no matter if this is mainly because it is damaged due to the shock throughout transportation or WD just has poor good quality on it. I'll wait and see no matter whether the new one particular works out.
