works as expected. I purchased this to replace a failed SANDISK SSD that died from hibernation/sleeping. I had a backup image from the recent swap, so it was easy to put this in and it worked. * Normal Laptop HDD speeds * Normal or less heat than like drives * No noticeable sounds when accessing drives (original drive was much louder) * Great price when caught on sale at $70 * Good Bang for buck per GB * Shipped in small box within Large Box

+ I bought this to upgrade my Black Macbook's 160GB HDD, so far it has worked flawlessly. + The 160GB HDD that I took out of my Macbook was an Apple stamped Seagate Drive, so if you're upgrading your Macbook and don't trust Seagate, you might already have a Seagate drive inside your computer. + It's cheap, and works.

Bought this drive to replace an aging WD in one of the company's laptops. Very quiet, No chewing sounds.

best $ per GB internal hdd for a ps3, i just ordered one



This drive is the best of all the 2.5" 80GB IDE drives. I've tried drives from seagate, samsung, and hitachi. None of these can match the wd800beve in reliability. The drive is whisper quiet even with heavy reading/writing. For reference I purchase about 20 drives a month for the small company I work for.


Solid performance Good price

Replaced the failing Dell 320gb HD with this thin 500Gb and it is quiet!!! and fast. Plus the extra room allows for a little more heat dissipation in my Inspiron n5010 laptop. Excellent price also

I installed this unit to replace a WD Blue 320gb that I have already filled up in a year of use. After cloning that drive to this one using the free utility from Western Digital's website, it appears to work exactly the same just larger. The temp, noise level, and speed appear to be the same. I'm sure you can run a program to confirm or deny that but for the normal user it works like any other drive.

Replaced a clients dead drive with this, quick and easy inexpensive fix for anyone not needing a lot of storage space.







Very quiet, had to hold it up to my ear to make sure it was up and running. Used a jump cable to clone from 320 Hitachi.
