Fast SATA II drive is a very good value

by  kubotabx2200 ,  Dec 5, 2006
12 out of 12 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Fast speed, 16 MB cache, supports SATA II, quiet, good price.
Cons: Warranty 1 year is a little short. 7,200 RPM limits speed of SATA II.
The Bottom Line: Fast and quiet drive with good performance. A good value if you get one on sale. Not the best drive available but a good balance of price and quality
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I bought this 250 GB Western Digital Caviar drive for a scant $49 a CompUSA when they had a $90 rebate on it. Watch out for their weekend deals which start on Sunday mornings, they often feature a good price on a hard drive.

A more typical...

Pros: Fast! Quiet! & Cool! Great Value too!

The Bottom Line: Even at $120, its a good drive!
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I purchased this hard drive(HD) from CompUsa for $59 after rebate, which is an EXCELLENT price for an internal SATA2 250 Gig hard drive with 16 mb cache.
I purchased it to use as a 2nd drive for video editing.
My primary drive is a Seagate...

It is not the drive - it is the service after that counts!

by  al_in_cal ,  Oct 13, 2005
7 out of 7 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Interesting specs, quite operation.
Cons: Dead on arrival - very poor support.
The Bottom Line: If you want to be on bleeding edge - give it a shot, otherwise stick with something that works.
This reviewer does not recommend this product.
Review: The final update 11/4 - Western Digital second line tech support told me that the problem with the second drive was my use of Western Digital's Data Lifegard - it messes up MBR for good. I was told to use Western Digital's Diag to write zeroes to...
