  Overall Rating: 5 Star Review

  Duration of ownership:60 Days

  Strengths: Reliability, Quiet, Fast

  Weaknesses: None

  Overall Evaluation: Over the past 9 years I've purchased 6 WD hardrives - still yet to have a WD hardrive to fail. In Jan I bought both the black and green - I use the caviar black for both media storage and gaming - works great.

  Overall Rating: 5 Star Review

  Duration of ownership:3 Months

  Strengths: Fast, Quiet, reliable so far.

  Weaknesses: None

  Overall Evaluation: I have two of these in a RAID 1 configuration. They have run flawlessly, and are extremely fast.According to WD, this is the same basic drive mechanism as their RE3 enterprise drives, but without the vibration resistance or testing. I also have RE3's in my server, and these drives appear identical.I own 20+ drives, and I so far have had no failures or SMART drive faults on any of the 7200 RPM WD 500G --> 1 TB drives. I haven't tried the 5400 RPM GP drives.

  Duration of ownership:13 Weeks

  Strengths: Works fine on video editing

  Weaknesses: None so far

  Overall Evaluation: I bought three of these for my use and three Seagates for Christmas presents. Mine still work. The others don't. Seagate seems to be in the dumpster. They don't care or do not have the money to care.

  Strengths: NONE I SEE

  Weaknesses: DIED IN THREE WEEKS

  Overall Evaluation: I had this drive about three weeks on a brand new system..I just got done loading two weeks of OS and other programs and getting it the way I wanted..I just moved today 300 gigs of data off five hard drives 5-7 years old and did a virus scan and noticed system frozeI rebooted and cant see drive on and off and win xp never finished a boot, I load this drive into old system and that one also cant see drive at all..I also had a six month old WD SE16 die three months ago and had $300 locked up on may debit card for a drive I paid $79 and had a used drive sent in return.. WD must love when UPS loses the box and they more than triple there profits..Buy anything but Westen Digital
