Mobious_Mocti 5/18/2013 2:32:33 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Pretty good Pros: Price Cons: didn't find any Other Thoughts: Gets about 100mb/sec HDTACH on sata2, very nice for a 250. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 5/14/2013 6:36:22 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5its a hd Pros: seem to be working right so far. hadn't really put it to the test other then dumping a few photos. well update this as soon as I see any funny business Cons: well u get the harddrive and that's it. they could had tossed a sata cable at least. but seeing its a cheap enough harddrive . I cant blame them . Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
saharette 5/11/2013 10:23:56 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5toss a coin 50/50 with a blank SMART registry Pros: WD has reset the odometer on these drives: SMART header report 0 hours of usage and all registry are wiped from previous data. Resetting the SMART registry is not a pro, because one cannot tell much about the history, registry, and log failure of the drives. Cons: 2 out of the 6 were clicking. Other Thoughts: This is Normal Format drive, and this is the only reason why I order these. Unlike Western Digital's AF (Advanced Format) that reports Normal Format to trick the OS. A bad strategy to propagate AF drives that the OS won't treat their format properly. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Burnt 5/8/2013 11:33:36 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Works so far :D Pros: Works. Checks as brand new drive to SMART readings. Is pretty quick, for a spinner... Cons: Time will tell... Other Thoughts: The price is RIGHT, but will it LAST? Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
cuincr 5/2/2013 6:01:43 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Format? ... Nada! Pros: LOL. Nice paint job. Cons: Cannot format out of the box. What a waste of time & money. I want my money back. No quality control with this so called "refurbished" trash. UPS makes all the money - shipping this item all over the county. Other Thoughts: Who said this item was refurbished? I want the name & address of the company that makes this claim. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Tzan 4/17/2013 2:54:43 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Blew my mind Pros: I have these setup in a RAID 0 on a MSI A75MA-G55 with 8 GB ram and a AMD A6-3650 APU. I've run 2 different Seagate and 1 Toshiba with this setup, they were slow loud and for lack of a better word clunky. I'd actually had them wake me up in the middle of the night when the AV was running. When I put these WD drives in and turned on the machine I had to double check that they were connected as the fan noise was louder than the drives. My boot time went from around 3 minutes to about 45 seconds. The low cost allowed me to put a 2 year next day swap out warranty on them and still spend less than on a non-refurbished drive. Cons: Really don't have any ... sorry. Other Thoughts: If I were going to build another computer today I would definatly buy 4 of these and run RAID 10. Did you find this review helpful?

Norm 4/11/2013 8:25:29 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5HD Pros: Price Cons: None so far. Other Thoughts: Used as a backup storage drive. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Slimchiply87 7/19/2012 9:06:46 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Works Pros: Works as advertised. Quiet. Faster than IDE drive. Cons: Was expecting a bigger difference vs. my old IDE drive with an SATA III drive, but my perception is jaded by my SSD, (I'm not a big HDD benchmark guy, so I haven't measured performance).

John 5/25/2012 11:37:13 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Saved the day! Pros: WORKS! PRICE! SHIPPING! All the usual Newegg things I have came to expect. My son's computer crahsed the day before it arived so it was badly needed. I wasn't sure about the "remanufactured" part of it but price won out and it works great and brought a older machine back to life, very pleased! Cons: Didn't install itself??.... I don't know of any downside. Other Thoughts: Great & cheap, I might look closer at remaned products from now on. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?
