Crapped out after 3 months
- Pros: Great price, fast enough, great for a cheap build for the in-laws.
- Cons: Unfortunately, after 3 months of ownership, this drive decided it didn't want to boot anymore. Windows startup repair cited master boot record corruption and a complete format, partition deletion and repartitioning didn't solve the issues. Since I'm not the primary user, I'm not sure what could have caused this, or if it was just a faulty drive.
- Other Thoughts: WD is a great company and was awesome about sending out a new one right away. Still waiting for the replacement, and I'm sure this was just a fluke. I still gave 4 eggs because this is the first time I've ever had a problem with a WD drive.
Great
- Pros: Great drive, not the fastest on the planet but for a mid-level pc build with win 7 it runs very well.
- Cons: none
good price/performance
- Pros: 160GB for a good price.
Does what its supposed to do without any problems.
Runs very quietly as well
- Cons: Only 160GB, don't count that as a REAL Con however.
- Other Thoughts: AMD 3GHz Callisto X2
4GB DDR2 RAM 1066
ATI Radeon 5750HD
Antec 900

Cool - Cool operation results in the highest reliability, even in intensely hot environments such as digital video recorders. That's why these, the coolest on the market, are the drives of choice for the world's leading consumer electronics and PC manufacturers.
Quiet - The technology that Tom's Hardware Guide called "very fast and nearly silent" is used throughout this family of drives. Our WhisperDrive technology minimizes noise to levels near the threshold of human hearing. To cut seek noise, SoftSeek technology streamlines read/write seeking algorithms, resulting in more efficient operation. |
