Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Questionable reliability, great speed when they work
Downside - It took 6 drives to get 4 that worked. I haven't checked for any bad sectors yet but expect to find some.
Upside - They are lightning fast, much quieter and cooler when compared to the previous 150/160 GB versions. The 150/160GB versions sounded like a machine gun during heavy duty operation and ran hot.Mine are set up in 2 2 disk Raid 0 arrays, one array for the OS and Apps, the other for data. 5 year warranty will cover any hardware failure. I had a 150GB drive fail.WD replaced ... Read More
Rating:  - Fastest rotating SATA drive at the moment
First, there seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding this drive. Regarding the position of the SATA connectors; this is a 2.5" form factor drive in a 3.5" aluminum cooling bezel for convenient use in most desktop computers. Look at the product picture and you can see this. If you need to use a drive in a docking situation where location matters, don't buy this drive.
This is the OEM version of the drive. The retail box version sells at significantly higher price. This means a warehouse ... Read More
Rating: - I really do notice the speed increase
I only use western digital hard drives.I have done so for the past 10+ years.I also build my own computers.
In the past I've only used 7200rpm drives and found them to be sufficient.I finally made the plunge into 10000rpm drives, when WD offered a decent memory size.The hard drive runs quiet and stays pretty cool.
I use this for my operating system and to game.Stick with 7200rpm drives for storage...at least until the price/gb drops on 10000rpm drives.
Rating: - Worth the $ b/c it makes you much more productive
It is a bit pricey if you are looking at the pricing based on GB/$.
But, it is DEFINITELY worth every penny if you want efficiency.
The seek time on this drive is VERY fast.
For me spending a few extra bucks is well worth it, b/c my this HD makes me much more productive.
Rating: - Really fast drive
This is the fastest non-enterprise drive I've ever used.It benchmarks twice as fast as the stock 320GB 7200rpm drive that came in my Mac Pro.The only thing keeping it from getting 5 stars is that the SATA/Power plugs aren't in the standard spot so some modification to the computer is required to get it working with hot swap/drive sleds.WD has apparently addressed this problem in a new revision.Get that version if you have sleds/hot swap.Also, this drive is very quiet for a 10K drive.The only ...
