Works as expected

Semi-fast, reliable, and completely silent.

works well no issues. I originally put this in a external usb case but after some time moved the drive into my desktop as a storage drive. Large amouth of storage for which at the time was a decent price. Price has dropped some since i bought a year ago.

Brand name with great history of superior products. Have used western digital hard drives for years without problems

Very good price per GB for the 2.5" form factor compared to other drives on the market. Drive was shipped in a very solid yet impact absorbing air pack to prevent any damage. The drive height is very thin at 7mm and very light compared to my 7 year old 2.5" seagate drive. The drive is also very quiet compared to my older drive, its almost silent to the point I don't even know if its on or not. I used this drive as an external USB drive using a 2.5" USB enclosure. I did have to format, partition, and initialize the drive first in Windows Disk Management before the device would show up in Explorer. After that it was simple plug and play for the drive now. Writing to the drive I got an an average of about 22MB/s for a 3GB file. Read speed was about 31MB/s. This was done on the USB 2.0 standard, so USB 3.0 should be alot better.

Good capacity/cost ratio

WD-Black 500gb 7200rpm. Works like a charm. No overheating or loud noise. Downloads are relatively quick.

Easy to install. Replaced an existing Seagate 320G hard drive that died after the PC suffered a blow. Have lots of storage for all the photos and MP3s.

7mm height 128MB cache


This is a nice 1TB enterprise Seagate drive in a 2.5" form factor. I'm running this drive in a workstation. It came with a 5 year warranty. (Please note, this most likely will not fit in a laptop, if that is what you are seeking to do. It is much taller than a typical laptop drive.) So far, I'm very happy with it.,

Lots of storage space for a small drive. Is moderately fast. Good amount of cache.

$49.99 shipped 500gb (412 on ps3)

Fair Price Exact Fit for HP Envy Laptop



Great Size @ 750 GB. Decent 8MB Cache.

Budget alternative to a SSD, not as fast but is still faster than a HHD.
