Western Digital WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
 
- Pros: I'm not very computer savy (had a friend pick out my pc stuff) but it has 1 TB and stores all my stuff.
- Cons: none.
- Other Thoughts: I got a bad hdd the first time, when installing windows i had 3 errors. i looked up th errors but no one in the comments said anything about having a bad hdd. i didn't notice until later but before the bios a screen would come up and say 's.m.a.r.t code error backup, replace, *somethin else". and i looked that up and it pretty much meant i had a bad hdd. after i returned it back to newegg got a new one and works great.

Western Digital WD Green WD15EARX 1.5TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
GARBAGE, stay away
- Pros: Shiny, Quiet, Cheap
- Cons: Post-flood GREEN drives from WD have gargage components. Buy a Black drive if you want "some" quality. Drive never did really work
- Other Thoughts: I bought several of these about 3-4 years ago, and they worked fine, till my daughter accidentally sent one to the floor (after tripping on a cable I use when plugging the drive externally. So Got a post-flood replacement via warranty, and THAT ONE never did work right. Sometimes it would connect, sometimes not, well a couple of weeks ago, it started smoking from the Motherboard. I emailed WD to try to get it replaced, and here ten days later, NOTHING REPLIED, (when they claim to reply within a day or two). So needless to say this put a sour taste in my mouth for the Green drive family of western digital. My replacement drive they sent will run out of warranty soon, and I don't expect they'll contact me AT ALL at this point. BIG THUMBS DOWN TO YOU WESTERN DIGITAL!!!!!

Western Digital WD AV-GP WD10EURX 1TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
Reliable 24/7 TiVo, surveillance, and surveillance Drive
- Pros: In my tests it had very good write speeds compared to my older Seagate drives, while the read speed was about the same. It stayed pretty cool, even after transferring several hundred GB onto the drive. The drive was not audible over the fans in my case, even while writing.
This drive's intended use is for 24/7 streaming writes in TiVo, security feeds, and DVRs. It's great for this purpose as when used by these systems its Streaming Command Set is enabled, allowing it to record without skipping if there is a minor write error on the drive. This is a great drive for your TiVo, home security system, or DVR. - Cons: Not recommended for gaming, see Other thoughts below.
- Other Thoughts: Before you buy this hard drive for your computer - the AV-GP series is intended for DVRs and surveillance, not gaming and data storage. It can certainly be used in a computer but this drive will cost a bit extra for a bit more durability you don't typically need in a home system - not to mention the extra command set for streaming which will not be used by your motherboard. If you want a WD drive for regular computer use or gaming, look into their other drive series.

Seagate Desktop HDD.15 ST4000DM000 4TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
2 DOA
- Pros: Great value if I can get one that works.
- Cons: I ordered two and both were DOA in the same order. Upon startup (for about 15 seconds or so) they both make a horrible (nails on a chalkboard) sound followed by a metallic grinding noise. They both look like they may have been slightly dropped or had something heavy placed on top of them with a cut on each label and slight dents in the top of the drives.
Despite other reviews, my box arrived with both drives well protected in bubble wrap. I think the problem happened at the manufacturer.
Both drive do display within Device Manager, however, they are only seen as 128GB in Disk Management and neither will initialize. I receive a disk I/O error when initializing. Both drives are not recognized by Seagate’s own Seatools utility.
Both have been RMA'd.
- Other Thoughts: I hope I didn’t make another mistake by requesting replacement drives. If the replacements are bad I’m going back to WD.

Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
Great HDD
- Pros: Great capacity, good speed. It's only been a couple of months but it's holding up strong. No noise and great speed.
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: I would buy it again. I just might considering I've been looking to expand into the RAID configurations.

Western Digital WD RE4 WD1003FBYX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Enterprise Hard Drive
Received 3 Bad Drives
- Pros: None
- Cons: I have been running 3 RE2s in a QNAP in RAID 5 for 4 years without incident. I needed to expand the capacity so I ordered the 1 TB RE 4 anticipating zero problems. The drive I received could not be read at all, the replacement drive I received reported S.M.A.R.T. errors and any tests I ran failed at reading the drive, and the second replacement drive I received just clicked and could not be read at all. I will be returning for a refund.
- Other Thoughts: After reading the negative reviews, this seems to be a common problem. I'm not convinced it is the packaging, however, since all 3 drives were packed the same way: bubble wrapped in a box that is inside another larger box and surrounded by paper fill stuff. Maybe it is the way the drives are handled or stored before they are shipped or maybe it is a WD problem, we may never know.
I have found other reviews on [a different major retailer that the review system won't let me write because it is [redacted]] for this drive that site similar problems but not to the extent of Newegg. Perhaps I'll try to order the same drive from them.
