Bought this as a replacement for 30GB 4200rpm IBM Travelstar in 2001. It weighs less and is more quiet.
its an enterprise spinning drive that does what it says. not ssd but doesnt have to worry about wearing out.
Love Velociraptors...nice fast drives and the price has been slowly falling. Good return policies from WD given the price. WD makes good stuff and they tend to stand behind it in the enterprise space. I've been buying their drives for about a decade now, been largely happy with their service. These 10K drives (along with others like the Seagate Saavio) are built for NAS/SMB file server market. Install a bunch in a decent NAS...format & burn in...then kick back & enjoy the performance. They have an excellent price/performance ratio for the amount of data they can store.
Able to replace Dell ST9146853SS in RAID array with no issues
Five year warranty, Fast. Quiet
Perfect ps3 hdd upgrade, really simple steps backup everything go to psn and download the current update swap the hdd with the new one install the update restore everthing and you have your ps3 as before except with 750 gigs!!!
Less heat than my old Fujitsu drive even though the rpm's are more, it still makes less heat than my old 5400 rpm drive. So very quiet too. Got a great deal on it too.
