Wish I could recommend this drive - but after the initial period in my NAS, it started showing errors. I put it in a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+, and right after the return warranty expired on this, it catastrophically failed. As in, "now an expensive paper weight" failed. Worst part - since it was one of the backup disks, it took a bunch of data with it. I had other backups, but it's been a major pain to try to sleuth out what was on it. You don't expect a brand-new disk to die like this.

Purchased two of these to use as a mirrored external backup drive. Performance, while nice, isn't critical to me (since it's all going through a USB2 interface anyway), but the noise level and power consumption is. After my Seagate drive died (they're not even worthy of a link to their product. Point is: don't buy SeaGate as their firmware likely is still riddled with bugs that they'll release an update for...after you've lost all your data.)At any rate, after formatting these drives and doing a series of tests for integrity, these seem to be up to the standard of all the other Western Digital drives I've purchased in the past. They run on low power, cool, and very quiet - the fan in the external enclosure is far louder than both these drives combined. Copying data to and from the drive was flawless, and, while not as fast as many other drives on the market, if you're looking to save power and/or it's going into an external enclosure anyway (and speed doesn't matter much), then these really drives can't be beat.Would highly recommend. The only "problem" with Western Digital drives are they last TOO long. As I write this, I have 4 WD drives next to my desk: 3gig (from August 1997), 8gig (March 1999), 13gig (March 2000), and 80gig (June 2004). Yes, WD stamps the date on their drives...and they all work as flawlessly as the day they were purchased. It's just difficult to justify using 5volts to gain so little space.

Great product, great price! Had 2 replace IDE HD that had gone bad on my Win XP Home/SP3 PC. PC is about 4-5 years old and fortunately the motherboard had a couple of SATA connections. After drive had shipped 2 my home, went 2 Fry's 2 buy SATA & power cables. Ended up spending the same $ amount if I would have bought them w\ HD on Amazon. Also, discovered I had paid 50% less than if I had bought the drive @ Fry's. Heh!! I'm happy 'bout that! The ONLY issue I had were with the cables: the plastic grips were too fat. Every time I placed one of the cables into its appropriate slot, i couldn't get the other cable to sit well into its slot. So, had 2 manually "sand" off some of the plastic by rubbing it against the concrete on my patio. Then, success! I had the drive formatted and Win XP Home installed in < 2.5 hrs.

To date, 3 of the 4 original Seagate drives have failed in my NetGear NAS. Thankfully one at a time. I have replaced them all with 500GB Western Digital drives. Been months since original failure and weeks since the last one. So far no issues. Time will tell. The original Seagate drives lasted over a year or so before they failed with clicking noises. If this drive fails, I will be sure to update review.

The drive is large for an older (Windows XP) OS and is fast and quiet. I tested it extensively because I lost 2 WD drives that had very close serial numbers bought at the same store and BOTH failed. It took the torture well. It's the older PATA interface so be sure you're getting the right one. Most systems from the last 4 years use the newer "SATA" interface standard. I've only used the drive for about a month but so far, so good as the saying goes. It's large for pre-Vista Operating Systems so it should serve you well.

I have purchased several of these drives and they are flawless and very quiet. The price is terrific and they work well with all Windows operating systems. I will endoubtedly purchase more of these drives as I have a need for more terrifc drives.

Western Digital hard drives have been the best on the market. From my first computer as a wee tyke to my slogging work horse of today, I've always selected WD drives and have never been disapointed.

This hard drive itself is a great hard drive if you are not looking for performance, no noise and has a pretty fast read rate. Keep in mind this will not be compatible with any raid system, and is fairly slow in comparison with other performance hard drives. Then caviar green was designed with someone who just wants to replace a noise old hard drive and is not really looking for an upgrade in performance.

This is a review of the buying process from Price Pros through Amazon. Worst time ever! They advertise "Pack of 20" which leads everyone to believe that there are 20 hard drives. They shipped one. Well, of course, you say...don't expect 20! YES I DO. That is what they describe! So they offer to take it back and reimburse price. So Amazon is worthless to go through their "A to Z Guarantee" and won't support customers at all. So I did a charge back and filed a complaint with the state's Attorney General. Don't buy through these people.

Excellent deal and fast shipping. I have personally used Western Digital hard drives for years on many DIY builds and have only had to return one, after 3 years of use. The customer service was great and the RMA went through easily. Highly recommended!

I recently built a new Windows 7 Core i7 system with some new parts and some old ones from my prior system. Since my last computer had hard drives with a couples years under their belt, I opted for two new 500GB 7200RPM Western Digital SATA Green drives. The investment in my data's security was well worth the outlay. I couldn't be happier. They are silent in my CPU's case (seriously, I can't even feel them if I rest my toes against the case during read/write operations) and speedier than any hard drive I've owned before. The plan is to keep these until the price point of solid state disk drives falls to around traditional hard drive prices. I figure that time will be around when the world ends in 2012... if you believe in that nonsense. ;p

I bought this to replace a hard drive in my computer so that I could give the old one to my son since his went out.

This product is awesome. However, Amazon sent one to me with literally no protective packaging except a cardboard layer, as though it were a book. The hard drive was of course dead. Beware!
