Unreliable, (What's this?) I purchased this from Amazon as a lightning deal and was really excited about the great value I was getting. The drive installed fine and I proceeded to load all of my data onto the drive. Everything seemed okay...until day two when it completely quit working.
quiet and quick, (What's this?) hard drives (2) are in my Drobo works great, quiet. no issues. wish Id bought couple more as the flooding over seas caused a doubling+ in price for the Wd20ears.
WD Caviar Green HD review, (What's this?) This is my 2nd WD Caviar drive.
No issues, work like any hard drive., (What's this?) These are lower power drives, but decent performance wise. I'd recommend these for any non-RAID storage environment. This is the best price I could find since the flooding in Thailand, which has doubled HDD prices. They aren't as whisper quiet as other/newer models, but the noise they create isn't an annoyance by any means. If you are running a modern operating system then you shouldn't have any problems with the fact that this is an Advanced Format drive. If you are running Windows XP or other operating systems that don't handle Advanced format drives very well then you can find a Re-alignment utility that will help you use these drives with Legacy operating systems. Great buy! I've had nothing but success with Western Digital drives.
western digital 1.5tb, (What's this?) I think Seagate Hard drives sucks!
As a photographer I go through hard drives quicker. This is my 3rd hard drive in the last years. Why! Because I think seagate sucks! One seagate I bought just quite working within a year. I had over 50k images on it. The other makes so much noise...finger nail scraping on the chalkboard type of noise....I cant use it.
I bought Seagates to save a buck...and did not realize they were chineese own.
So this time I decided it would be wise not to throw my money out the Sea Gate.
The Western Digital hardrive has lived up to everything they claim.
It is super quiet!
It is super Fast!
The transfer went great!
I always liked Western Digital...but I fell for the cheaper alternative of Seagate...and it cost me. In fact, to date Seagate Refuse to refund me my money back even though they agree that it was there hard drive that was at fault.
For me, It cost me more to buy the cheaper seagate, and I still missing about 5k images that was between backups.
I am extremely happy with the wd 1.5tb caviar green and if it cost you a little more....believe me...it is worth it.
Simply
You can beat it...buy it now.
serves to mainboard MSI 870-G45 ???, I want to know if the mainboard 870-G45 ([...]) endures a hard disk SATA 3 of 6GB/S to buy one.
Semi-D.O.A., (What's this?) Purchased Jan.1, 2012, received Jan. 4th, RMA Jan. 7th. This drive was slow out the door, I didn't think that much about it being a "Green" drive but after 2 days I suspected this drive had bad sectors. My PC kept freezing, my second partition just disappeared, and google chrome kept giving me the "Waiting for cache" status.
So I went to WD website and downloaded the Western Digital Data Life Guard Diagnostics (WDDLG) software. After about 9 hrs of running, test result-FAIL. WDDLG offered to repair the bad sectors, but I immediately received an ERROR message. Amazon refunded my purchase, and now I am back in research mode to find myself another hard drive for my PC.
Should I give WD another try? I will say this, they definitely don't make HDDs like they used to.
Reasonably priced!, (What's this?) This western digital drive works well in my RAID setup. They are lasting a lot time without breaking and I do like the fact that it is GREEN. It is very reasonably priced for a 1.5 TB drive. I usually buy Seagate, but I am very impressed by this hard drive.
Not very good, I received this product promptly, so Amazon did a great job of delivery. The drive is running very slowly and did so upon installation. I have tried it on several computers with the same results. I downloaded the information instructions, drivers, etc and have fiddled with it for a couple of months with no better results. I suspect the drive is defective. I will try to get a replacement of refund from Western Digital if possible.
