Garbage!
06/09/2012
This review is from: Western Digital WD Green WD15EARS 1.5TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Pros:
It was cheep before the flood sky rocketed HD costs.
Cons:
Worked flawless as a media storage drive for a year until the platter servo froze or head froze to the platter. Fixed this by spinning it on a table until I heard the heads release. Then the wonderful click of death upon spin up. Now not recognized by OS or dos.
Overall Review:
This drive had at most 100 hours of power on time and was only used to store movies and music. Unfortunately my back up of a back up was moved to another computer so I get the wonderful chore of having to find all my media again.
I have had 2 WD 80 gigs Black editions running at now over 43000 hours with absolutely no issues. And these drive see around 500 GIG of throughput per month. They don't build them like the use to it seems.
