Over the past 10 years, I have used a mix of HDD OEM's. No real pattern of any one brand failing more often than others, but I have noticed WD continually provides the best performance/capacity per dollar. I have three of these drives, all purchased from three different e-tailers (newtiger and eggdirect)including amazon, and none of them have failed or are abnormally loud. All formatted in a reasonable amount of time, installed XP and Ubuntu on two of them. Now all three have been reformatted and are sitting in a LaCie hotswap backplane in my WHS, chugging all my torrents and slinging all my music. What more could you ask for? OK, I wish I could afford the 2TB ones.

Hi,I have been a WD user for a long time and respect the Brand as one of the best in the marketplace to date. Sure, every hard drive has the possibility of failure and that is all dependent on how you use them and what you do with them. I have recently started purchasing these by the case load for my office and below you will see what we are using them for.I maintain a rather large data center for an enterprise. We were burning through LTO tapes for backup and archive...most LTO's hold 200gb/400gb compressed and or 400/800compressed [...]. A WD drive costs about $100 for 1tb. The choice is obvious....since compression doesnt yield much on a tape. We proceeded to buy some ESATA docks (example: Thermaltake BlacX eSATA Hard Drive USB Docking Station and use these drives on our servers to run nightly backups. Not only is the speed twice as fast over sata, we also always get great backups. You will need ESATA cards that can go in servers or your computer...unless you have esata ports. (example: 2PORT RAID5 Esata Pci 3GBPS External Express Card.My main project was to backup my exchange 2007 server every night on to a hard drive and then store one hard drive weekly off-site. These drives work perfectly for that purpose via a dock and the solution is supported by popular backup programs such as Veritas Backup Exec. We also purchased hard drive storage cases...for a bit of added protection. Example: DriveBox 10 packHard drive backups are now becoming the NORM due to the prices that hard drives are available for. The WD drives are exceptional due to a very very low failure rate. The reason for my story above was to prove that I actually do have faith in this product and use it for enterprise backup purposes.5/5

I've been watching 1TB Seagate and WD for a few months; needless to say, I was in no hurry. But my home server's 640GB RAID-1 was reaching its 5 year range, and that makes me nervous with electro-mechanical devices that run 24x7. I was running out of space anyhow; so an upgrade was in order. I bought Intel DG41TY MoBo, Intel E1400 CPU, and 2GB GSkill SDRAM for the MoBo. Since my old drives were ATA and I have no intention of throwing them away, I slapped in an IDE/ATA PCI card, too.I purchased two WD10EADS over Seagate's 1TB due to the reduced number of platters (EADS has one fewer plate than EACS) and the BIOS complaints I read about Seagate. Feedback on another retailer's packaging indicated less than desired protection for HDs, and I am very satisfied with Amazon's packaging. There were lots of bubbly cushioning in the carton that contains two individual boxes for each drive with additional cushioning in each HD box; as opposed to two bare OEM disks wrapped in bubblies and thrown in a cardboard box one might see elsewhere. Timing was right on mark, too. Good service Amazon!Overall, these HDs are part of a Fedora Core 10 x64 installation running on a single OS drive. The HW has one IDE/ATA RAID-1 off of the PCI card, and another RAID-1 with these two SATA 1TBs connected to the MoBo. I can't hear these additional two 1TB drives: the noise from the older two IDE/ATA drives totally masks the new two SATAs noise. Eventually, when the IDEs die, I'm sure I'll have a much calmer server.As for speed, I access these guys over my 1GB network from several clients spread across the house. I haven't run a speed test, but no one in the household has any complaints. I have quite a bit of additional space.

I purchased one of these drives from Amazon last year for a storage server. No problems on delivery, and it has performed without incident since then. I've purchased a few WD drives over the years and never had any problems with them. I also have had good experiences with Deskstar and Seagate, so maybe it's just luck of the draw. In any case, thumbs up from this user.

This drive performs exactly as promised - VERY quiet and efficient. I am using this as a backup drive in a Mac Pro and it performs flawlessly. Great product! Only thing I would suggest is a little more packaging material in the box to protect the drive in shipping. Mine was fine and they are designed to take some shock, but maybe bubble wrap on all sides of the drive would have been better...

This drive is awesome. The drive is perfect for most home computers. if you are not big into multi tasking, this drive is for you. I have installed Windows 7 on the drive and it's very fast. The is also VERY VERY VERY quite. I don't even here it. I've have not hear it once. That is awesome.The only issue I have is with Multi Tasking. I see my pc slow down when I am doing more that two things at once. Example: Running a mass copy & an installation & Launching Outlook or something like that at the same time. Meaning that is slows down. I don't know if it's the drive or the need for more memory or something.But there you have it. My honest opinion and experience for the drive.

If you're looking for a low power drive, the Western Digital WD10EADS is one of the best options currently. It has by far the lowest idle and active power consumption statistics. That, not surprisingly, helps it run cooler than other drives as well.There is some performance loss, though most users will probably not notice. For detailed stats, look up the Winter 2008 Hard Drive Guide at Tom's Hardware. (Though you may notice how quiet and cool it is!)Also, note that this is the OEM or Bulk version of the drive, with no SATA data cable or power adapter, or screws if your system uses them.UPDATE 2-2010: Western Digital has recently introduced a new WDxxEARS series of Caviar Green drives, with a number of enhancements. And, they are priced attractively. But they come with a wrinkle that means you'll need to do some thinking about whether this earlier WDxxEADS series drive is still better for you.The WDxxEARS series uses more dense 500GB platters - so a 1TB drive has just two platters, and drives up to 2TB are available - and has 64MB of cache. So far so good. But the wrinkle is that WD is using the new series to transition to 4KB sectors on the hard drive; they call it WD Advanced Format technology.For some users - those using Windows XP, or those trying to clone a drive to the new drive - Advanced Format presents substantial issues, so the EADS seriews may still be the drive to use. For those doing fresh installs for Vista, Windows 7 or Mac systems, be sure to look at the newer drives. Read the reviews for the new drives for more info and some suggestions for where to get still more info.PACKAGING UPDATE 2-2010: Read some of the recent reviews for comments about the completely unacceptable packaging that Amazon is using to ship these hard drives. You may want to consider choosing another source for the drive.

I've read reviews on this site about how hard drive are improperly packaged by amazon, but I guess I really didn't believe it. I received a power supply and this hard drive together in a single box with minimal bubble padding, which was only on the top. Underneath that, a power supply, underneath that, a hard drive packed only in an esd bag. Did I mention the box was enormous. It was like on Ace Ventura when he was pretending to be the mailman. Needless to say the drive didn't work. Amazon was cool though, and they're sending me another drive and a mailing label for the first one. Too bad they still can't assure me that the next package will be properly wrapped. This is one thing that SHOULD NOT BE FRUSTRATION FREE WRAPPED. EVER.

It worked just fine for the first month and a half. Then I left my computer on while I went out to dinner. I came back and the computer had crashed and could not boot. testdisk could not even scan the whole disk in an attempt to recover anything. Subsequent attempts to reformat the drive have also failed.

There are many positives to this drive and only one drawback for general users. Please also note that this is a bulk drive - you won't receive it in Western Digital box packaging, just a plain brown box holding the drive (well secured with cardboard inserts).Positive Notes:* It's green. I know that's the buzz word of the day, but I personally do what I can to support the environment. No fuss, no muss, and excellent power savings if you take advantage of those features on your computer. Drive spins down when not in use, is quiet and fast.* Median speed = 7200 RPM. This isn't a raptor drive with >10k RPM, but for regular use this will do the trick for you. SATAII is already going to give you faster connectivity directly to the motherboard vs. the slower and older IDE cables.Watch Points:* No cables/mounting screws - you'll need have your own SATA cable (however most motherboards come with several of them) to use with the drive. Remember this is a bulk drive so you don't get the frills of unnecessary packaging and that includes no cables or screws. This is not a big deal to me because I had plenty of spares.For the value - this is my preference for a 1TB drive under $100. Price point is important to me, and Western Digital is my personal preference for hard drives.Enjoy! They are so inexpensive why not pick up a couple!

It's a good hard drive. I have used several WD hard drive and none of them made me disappointed. But there is a small compatibility problem actually. I have another WD 640G Green hard drive and now I use both. When I tried to transfer data from one to another, there will always be a error related to write-buffer. I still can finish transferring after several trials, but it made me feel upset. Hopefully it will work for me for a long time.

If you are looking to expand your storage space, you really can't beat this drive! Although you can find drives that are better in terms of performance, they will cost you much more. However, this drive does just fine for basic storage. I've already replaced 3 of my old 300GB drives with these, and I couldn't be happier with the increased storage capacity. The point is, if you need more storage capacity, BUY THIS DRIVE!Also, I have noticed that some people have complained about the packaging these come in. I am guessing they are isolated cases, because I ordered my 3 a month apart from each other, and all 3 came in the good foam packaging pictured.

I Now own two of these drives,and for the most part they work fine.I was expecting them to run a bit faster,but Western Digital had disigned them to run alittle slower.They of course still work concidering the 1T size.So if speed is your thing these aren't for you.If you just want room and a large size of storage,then this Hard Drive is for you.

Bought this along with a Rosewill 3.5" External Enclosure with USB 2.0 and eSata. So far it has been a great combination. The WD 1 TB Caviar Green runs at a cool temp so if you are looking to use this with an external enclosure there is no need for a fan. I have only been using this to keep my TV shows and movies on so I can't say much about using it as a hard drive for an operating system. I will say that it is 100% Mac compatible.

The hard drive works great. Like another reviewer said, it doesn't come with a SATA cable. I was kind of glad it didn't because my computer needs an extra long one to reach the motherboard. It was easy to install. It didn't come formatted or anything, so I had to do a bit of figuring to enable the drive, format it, and assign it a letter. If you're going to buy this, get one of those cables with 3 GB/s.

I got this drive for my husband for Christmas and he loves it. It was quick to install and has worked perfectly. The box had the wrong label on it, stating it was a smaller drive than the 1TB and since I'm not experienced at all with this type of stuff, I had my fingers crossed that it was indeed what I'd ordered. In the end it was the correct size drive, but it sure gave me an uneasy feeling giving it as a gift and worrying if it was not what I'd ordered.

I got two of these drives for my Diskless ReadyNAS Duo. The worked fine, with the exception that you can't incrementally add the second drive to a running ReadyNAS. It gives an error that the drive can't be initialized. Instead, you need to do a ReadyNAS factory reset while BOTH drives are installed in the ReadyNAS. When it reboots after the factory reset, it reformats/resyncs the drives (took about 5 hours), and then everything works. The ReadyNas forum has a helpful thread with the subject 'Unable to add second disk to ReadyNAS Duo' that is helpful.

I was looking for a 1 TB hard drive at a good price to put in my PC that I was upgrading to Windows 7. I found the same drive elsewhere for $69.99 and was going to order it. Before I did I checked Amazon and found it for $10 less and with free shipping. The order came in less than a week even with the free shipping.The drive itself installed with no problems and seems reasonably fast.If your buying this same drive, remember this is an OEM drive with no cables, install disks or documentation.

It appears Amazon has listened to some of the earlier complaints about the packaging of this drive. I bought two of these drives on Black Friday and they both arrived well protected inside of drive clamshells that was inside a box, and those boxes were inside a larger box with lots of protection. Yaay!And since you are supposed to review the product and not the packaging here, I'll just say that I am very happy with this drive so far. I am using two of them in a RAID array. I'll be sure to come back and change this review if I have any problems though.

I read a lot of the reviews for this drive as it was to be used in a Home Theater PC for movie / music content. I'm running Win7 and have had to reformat the drive twice in one week due to errors and also it had lost it's partition too. I've installed a lot of drives over the years but never had this much work to copy over content. As this is a secondary drive I deep formatted it a third time and it's seems to be holding up so far. As other reviewers have said it is very quiet and low heat and maybe third times a charm but for the extra $10 I wish I would have bought the Caviar Black with the longer warranty and lived with the higher noise / heat.

I purchased this drive to replace a Western Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive 3.5 Inch, 16 MB Cache, 7200 RPM SATA II WD5000AAKS, which by the way, was amazingly fast and quiet . This drive is just as fast, but too noisy for my taste. I prefer little to no noise from desktop and HTPC builds. This drive is better than many other drives out there, but still gives off noticeable noise. It seems to be the best, most reliable drive on the market for the money so I'm not sure what else to try. I may try the Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive 3.5 Inch, 32 MB Cache, 7200 RPM SATA II WD1001FALS but reviews indicate that it's noisy too. Overall, this is an excellent drive for general use and stays very cool.As with other reviewers, the packaging was terrible. The bare drive was shipped in an antistatic bag with two bubble packs inside a 3"x10"x10" cardboard box. The box was smashed but the drive seemed to work okay, except for the noise. Amazon should at least ship these drives in paper or peanut box filler.

I snatched up two of this WD model of hard drives. By the time I wrote this review, I've had them for more than two months and they're working as expected. What I love about them is that they're very silent and they don't run hot so easily! I really recommend this hard drive if you want a very energy efficient and reliable hard disk for your backup needs. I think I made a perfect choice and I spent only $139.98 for two of these!

As I had a lot of experience working with hard drives I'll say that wasn't the best drive for the money. I have order about 10 in the last year and about 9 of them have failed with light use. I will have to go back to hitachi drives once again. Unfortunately, the drives are too low, noisy, and fails to easily.
