High storage capacity. Great quality. Quiet.


1TB drive that fits in pretty much any laptop. Same dimensions as any normal 2.5" drive. No more external TB drives for me!


Quiet, Price, Capacity



Replaced and old hard drive with this one. Much faster and quieter.

I was able to restore a backup to the new drive successfully

cheep & reliable

This is my 3rd drive. This drive is has been completely reliable in my road warrior set up. It is in use on the road 250+ days per year. Super fast shipping! Thanks Newegg!

Price is good. Working well so far but it’s only a month now.. hopefully it works good for long time.

* Huge performance increase over 5400 RPM drives for disk-intensive operations, such as system startup and application load times. * Very quiet.


This little thing kicks bu!t (seriously guys? that was a 4 letter word?). I use it primarily for my OS in a 4 HD tower. By combining this with a memory upgrade I basically got a new computer for 1/3 the cost. I see the 500 is out and the 600 is in, so this review probably wont reach many. I plan on switching out all my drives one at a time when on sale.



Western Digital. I've always gone with them, and I've never had a problem. I was skeptical about purchasing a refurbished drive, but with WD's track record, I figured I'd give it a go. So far, the drive works great right out of the box. Better yet, the thing looks brand new. No idea what the heck they refurbished, but I'd say it's a new drive.

I ordered two of these drives with my Dell R710 system and was looking to order additional, but there are no more. The performance is astonishing and comparable to the performance we get on our EMC SAN Storage. Write are close to 200MB/s for RAID 0 and about 150MB/s for RAID1. You will not find that in a drive less than this. If performance is the name of the game you need these 15K RPM drives.
