Great Purchase
- Pros: Simple install. Just worked. Spinrite showed no errors.
- Cons: None.
Works great!
- Pros: Plug in, Format to your liking and it just works, but what else do you expect from Western Digital?
- Cons: Zero
Combo Deal Unbeatable
- Pros: Lightning fast CPU processing (6.4 on Win7 performance index). Extremely low power draw. Bought the newegg combo deal (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.235851), which includes 4gb ram, 500GB drive, and ECS motherboard... all for $223!!!!. Have built plenty of Asus-based machines, but this was the simplest, fastest build I have ever encountered. Installed Win7 effortlessly. Combined w/ the Antec Earthwatts 380W power supply for 40 bucks, this was also my cheapest ever PC rebuild. I am absolutely blown away by the performance of this combination. I leave my PC on just about all the time and this thing is so extremely silent I can barely tell that it's powered up... simply incredible. And it runs so bloody cool too. My old setup (ASUS A7V-333 MB W/ Athlon Thunderbird CPU and basic AGP video card) noticeably heated the room it was in. I bet my electric bill drops substantially.
- Cons: None

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. |
