BEST HDD Manufacturer EVER
operating system:
Windows VistaI recently had A Seagate 320GB HDD which was Great for seven months, then it all began to go wrong first the temperature of the HDD rose, it became louder, it began to click continiously and then it died.
So i got This HARD Drive and It is Quieter and Cooler than the Seagate EVER was, makes no sound when seeking or when Vista is Inexing.
I also have Hitachi and Samsung Hard Drives
The Hitachi drives are quiet but slowly develop to making some noise when seaking sometimes.
The Samsungs Are Silent, but do have a tendany of over heating.
So Now i have relised and confirled that Western Digital Hard Drives are the Best Hard Drives being manufactured today.
I dont know what they do which is different to the rest but thier secret formula is working.
So if You Want a Hard Drive there is NO Contest.
Just Buy Western Digital.
HDDs should be called WDs.
awesome

Windows VistaI bought 2 of these for RAID0, the speed is extremly fast, lived up to my expectations and no problems as of yet!

Usual western digital standard
operating system:
Windows XPFantastic drive. Very nice and quiet, and the usual build quality I have come to expect from WD.
I have always used WD internal hard drives, and I have never had a failure from them in 10 years.
Please note, this is Caviar Blue model according to the label, and does not come with a molex power supply plug, ONLY sata power.
WD 320 AAKS
operating system:
Windows XPFast,quiet and easy to install(can use life tools from Western digital download (wdc.com))
Bargain price and free delivery.
Nice HD
operating system:
LinuxNice and quiet, compared to an old maxtor. Think I might get another now, to replace that old one.
Sounds like a bag of nails turning round.
WD. Always the best for reliability too. I run a Suse Linux box which is always on, and seldom reboots.
Excellent.
operating system:
Windows VistaVery good drive as expected...Vista gives a rating of 5.7 based on transfer rate. No problems installing etc all picked up nicely, no need for any messing about.
Great Drive
operating system:
Windows XPWell priced drive with 16mb cache, no issues from me. Is very quiet but tiny sounds can be heard sometimes. Ive moved to WD from seagate brands and no issues as yet, been using for a few months.
