Western Digital Blue WD2500AAJS 250GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: bought one in 2010 - it still works in 2014, no errors, sounds etc...

Cons: none

Pros: Build for a friend works well.

Cons: None

Pros: For an economy drive, it performs exceptionally. Fast transfers. Also, the drive is very quiet - I rarely hear it. Very affordable storage. Thank you Western Digital and newegg!

Cons: The negative reviews for this drive are without merit. To those complaining that an OEM drive did not include cables is utterly ridiculous. OEM hard drive means just the drive - no cables, no mounting hardware, no software, no User Guide. If you need all of these things, either buy a Retail drive, or plan intelligently in advance of your purchase.

Overall Review: I have been using Western Digital drives for at least the past 10 years now. The only drive that ever failed on me is one that I purchased used. All others are still working, or have been retired due to their age. Kudos to WD for producing high-quality, reliable drives consistently throughout the years.

Pros: It sotres my data and it reads and writes quickly. In my 12 years of computer building I've never, ever had a Western Digi drive fail on me. I'll never buy anything else.

Cons: Nothing comes to mind.

Overall Review: It's quiet.

Pros: Price was good with free shipping. Nice of NewEgg to give me a 10$ coupon as an e-mail promotion, that made it a great deal. Thank you NewEgg. I use only WD drives, only had one fail after 6 years of use.

Cons: None really, it is big/fast enough for what I am using it for.

Overall Review: Make sure you go to the WD home page and download Acronis WD edition True Image. <--- Free! It made swapping out an eighty GB drive to this 250 a breeze. Works just like it used to but with a lot more space. No installing OS and all the programs. Sweet!!

Pros: great little HD for a cheap price

Cons: ... there wasn't enough bubble wrap in the package for me to play with

Overall Review: bought for a budget system - works like a charm

Pros: -Fast. -Easy installation.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Had problems with OS installation, but it was my fault and it's all good now.

Pros: This was my first build. I didn't feel I needed a huge HD now so I decided on this one. Installed Ubuntu 8.10 just fine with no problems.

Cons: None.
