A new 16MB Cache SATA II setup for my RAID 1 configuration! Western Digital WD2500KS

by   alexanderaku ,  Jun 4, 2006
Pros: Sweet deal for an entry level Enterprise class hard drive.
Cons: As with any SATA drive, the install can be difficult.
The Bottom Line: With its popularity, you would be hard pressed to go wrong buying this drive. It offers compatibility others haven't approached. Just be sure your system is properly set up first.
Review: The SE 16 SATA II WD2500KS is no stranger in the marketplace, having been around since May 2005, and I was in the market for a new set of SATA drives for my last years model GA-7N400 Pro2 motherboard (nForce2 chipset with Sil3512 SATA RAID chipset). ...

What do you want when ya-gotta-have-something-and-it's-gotta-be-good-and-you-gotta-have-it-now...! A Western Digital WD2500AAKS!

by   alexanderaku ,  Dec 19, 2007
Pros: Runs cooler than the previous model, fast 3.0 SATA platform
Cons: A box of Cracker Jack, it doesn't come with.
The Bottom Line: WD has shown me their SE16 Caviar line is one that works well. Pricing and performance using them has been excellent, and it should be for you also.
Review: Ok, I'm not talking Cracker Jacks with a prize - but the WD2500AAKS just might be what you're looking for in that next computer hard drive purchase. Sailor Jack and Bingo have been pleasing consumers for over 100 years, and it looks like Western Digital ...

Fast! Excellent Value!

by   dgcam55 ,  Dec 25, 2006
Pros: Fast! Quiet! & Cool! Great Value too!
Cons: If using as 2ndary drive, check your BIOS to ensure they're enabled.
The Bottom Line: Even at $120, its a good drive!
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 Baracuda ...

Fast SATA II drive is a very good value

by   kubotabx2200 ,  Dec 5, 2006
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
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 "good" ...

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

by   al_in_cal ,  Oct 13, 2005
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.
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 the ...
