5 out of 5 stars Excellent drive   October 12, 2008
I installed this in an external case and it works fine. It is a great drive for the price. One of my other SATA Western Digital drives failed after two years, but they have a 3 year warranty and an easy return policy.

1 out of 5 stars Faulty Hard Drive   September 30, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Sorry to say folks. As much as i have great respect for WD hard drives. This new 500gig is a total failure. It just doesn't show up on my windows XP,Neither on Linux(mandriva & Ubuntu),neither on the Apple Mac Book. Presently i am disappointed. This hard drive i wanna return for a replacement. Buying this hard drive i would not recommend especially as this happened at a time that i needed space for all my music.


5 out of 5 stars Fast & Quiet   September 26, 2008
Great drive. It is about a billion times quieter and cooler than my old first gen Raptor, though not as fast. It's also quieter than the striped pair of old 110gb drives it is replacing. It "feels" faster than the raid (0) with those older drives. Recommend this drive.


3 out of 5 stars Noiser than CPU fans   September 25, 2008

The performance is OK.
It's hot.

Its vibration is too much and cause the whole case to resonant vibrate. That makes lots of noise, bigger than all fans in my case.
