easy install, silent, same speed as previous drive.

Works fine and it's silent into my MBP 2008 (unibody). I am using it with data-doubler and the OS is on SSD. I do not hear any clicking noise as I used to have on WD 500 BEKT (used hdapm tool to suppress the clicking noise).



I have this in an enclosure in my car console for music and so far it works great in that rough and hot environment.


Brought this as a replacement drive for a IBM Thinkpad T30. Drive was easy to install and works a lot faster then the stock drive.


FAST quiet and it cloned well what else do you want?

Slipped right into my PS3, No bracket... but a bit of cardboard from packing made for a nice fit.

Very fast drive, and great capacity for the the money.

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

Fast, fast, fast. I'm running Vista 64 bit on my Asus laptop. It was already fast, but repalcing the 5,400 RPM drive with this great drive made it even faster!


FAST !!! For a conventional sata 3 HDD Crystal Disk Mark gives it a 202mb read and a 199mb write. When transferring large sequential files like backups of over 20GB, I have seen the burst rate of over 500GB for the first 10-20 seconds. My main drive is a Samsung SSD 840 pro which will read and write at over 500mb's a second. Not as fast but a lot cheaper and larger, if you can get it 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.
