WD for HD 11/3/2012 7:53:26 PM

Pros: Western Digital makes the best hard drives out there. These were still running in a RAID-0 for years until I upgraded to a completely new system.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: After using other brands and being disappointed by them I only buy Western Digital.

Solid drives 10/10/2006 2:22:43 PM

Pros: Drive is very quiet, even in my very silent case you can't hear the drive, great speed, and great capacity for the money.

Cons: None at all, just make sure it's ventilated, because like all HDDs, they do get hot.

Overall Review: I've always trusted Western Digital, definitely worth the money.

First SATA Drive 10/10/2006 5:59:28 AM

Pros: It works great and is quiet.

Cons: Gets pretty hot. I mean really hot. Now I understand why they have hard drive coolers.

Overall Review: I can't say that I've noticed the speed difference that others have raved about but the drive wasn't bought for speed really. It's a great deal for the amount of storage and I suppose when I go RAID I'll notice the difference.

nice HDD 9/26/2006 9:03:42 AM

Pros: this is my first SATA HDD, I just upgraded from my old ATA 133 80gb. I get 10-15 more fps in WoW, and boot speeds have easily doubled!

Cons: had some driver issues with my mobo when installing this, I had to reinstall my SATA drivers, but after that, all was good :)

Overall Review: If you're not into SATA yet, get on the bandwagon! I can't believe I've waited this long :)
