Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD4000KD 400GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 1.5Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Works as advertised and is an OEM drive. No offense to Mr. Wikipedia below my review, but you don't understand the use of this by computer equipment resellers. This is the drive only as every reviews says.

Cons: None... this is OEM so no cable... get OVER it

Overall Review: For the price I paid I got exactly what I ordered. I actually read the other reviews and make an educated purchase unlike some. Nice OEM drive :).

Pros: Worked for a year

Cons: Died on me. Very few drives I've owned over almost 20 years in computers have died this quickly.

Pros: I've had 4 of these drives in my computer for over a year now. No problems. I may get another

Cons: None

Pros: Pretty quiet, large capacity for a cheap price, and relatively low seek times. I got this as a replacement for my 160gb Western Digital hard drive and I have not had any problems whatsoever (highly recommended).

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Please understand that all hard drives, especially larger ones, carry an inherent risk of disk failure. If you keep this fact in mind, and you back up your files on a regular basis, you should be fine for the most part. Also, please note that this is an OEM drive- OEM means you get the hard drive itself and NO SATA cables, NO box, and NO manual. If you absolutely *need* to have those things, you're looking at the wrong item (try looking for an item that has "Retail" after its description).

Pros: Great GB to $ factor Fast Hdd Silent Good Manufacturer support, RMA was painless, Spoke to someone who actually spoke english.

Cons: 1st one died after 3 weeks. CLACK CLACK CLACK 2nd one I ordered installed, booted into windows and then CLACK CLACK again.... I have to pay shipping to rma the drive. I've RMA'd other things and the Manufacturer has paid shipping both ways.

Overall Review: Western Digital is sending me 2 new hdds. I hope they work fine the 2nd time around

Pros: Has great performance, and so far not one hitch.

Cons: Wish it offered the 3g transfer rate, but this is minor quibble and would have no bearing on performance, just one more feature.

Overall Review: Do yourself a favor and get this drive. Get it for the performance, as the storage size is gravy.

Comments: Bought this dive for my g5 as storage for al of my video downloads and junk. Man this drive is silent and fast. Thanks Newegg

Pros: A 400 GB HD for $70! When a hard drive works flawlessly, there isn't much to be said one way or the other. You plug it in, it works, you're done.

Cons: This hard drive may be too awesome for anyone one man, woman or child.

Overall Review: I don't know what the big deal was about this being OEM in previous posts. All it means is that its missing 4 screws, a jumper (which isn't needed for SATA anyway) and a shiny box. I'll just take my $50 savings and I'll put in my own 4 screws - THANKS! :)
