no problems
- Pros: i run my computer 24/7 and i've had no problems, very quiet too
- Cons: none
WD wins again
- Pros: Western Digital is all I buy within the last few years, and they've scored another success after I've used this drive as a workhorse for over a year. Not a faulty bit to be had, no problems, no burn out, and everything has gone smooth as can be. It's been so good to me that I'm ordering another one after this review, just so I can have a third on-hand for big files that are readily accessbile.
- Cons: None to date.
- Other Thoughts: Western Digital has really been keeping their quality up over the last few years, despite the few random occurances of problems. Even on a bad drive, I've had great experience getting things taken care of quickly and easily through WD. I can't say I'd ever switch unless I hit a wall in the future...
WD3200 Caviar SATA
- Pros: Low Price for usable GB.
- Cons: After just 6 months, the drive died and failed even to spin up. Other SATA drive we've used at work seem to have an abnornally high failure rate as well.
- Other Thoughts: While I'm returning the failed drive for a replacement, I'll replace this drive with a Seagate with the 5-year warranty. It's used as an external SATA drive for our HD-DVR.

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 |
