I mounted this hard drive for my Patriot PBO media player.Very quiet and fast enough to do all play, fastforward, skip, etc.Gets hot pretty quick, but maybe due to my media player doesn't have fan.Small drive but has plenty of space!

I've had this drive in my mid-2009 MacBook Pro for about a month now. It operates as quietly as my previous drive. I was going to go for a 7200RPM model but was worried about vibrations. I've gone with 7200RPM models in other MacBooks simply to have the drive fail in 6mo to 1 year. Hopefully this one will stand the test of time.

Western Digital offers great performing, durable hardware at a good price. I have worked in and around IT for over 20 years and WD drives have been the most reliable of all brands past and present.

The installation only takes 5 minutes just pop the plastic holding the hard drive unscrew blue screw and slide hard drive cage out. Than remove 4 screws,now take new drive swap and put everything back and load ps3 it will ask to format and boom new fresh 500gb Hard drive.Pros:-500gb whole lot of space for videos and Games-Low Price(same as a brand new game)-Good replacement warrantyCons:-PS3's screws are really easy to strip BE CAREFUL-Backing up your old hard drive Takes a LONG time but worth500 gb is enough space for all my videos and games add-ons. This is a good investment, you will be amazed how you could live with 60gb (in my case) and if you do back ups think of how many games you can backup on this. You will not regret this.

I purchased this drive as a replacement for the original drive in a circa 2008 MacBook Pro. The new drive installed perfectly in the space occupied by the old drive and it's working great. I've recently replaced the hard drives in two laptops with WD drives and I have been pleased with both.

Got the drive in time, well packed, easy to install. Works like a charm, no noise and good speed of transfer. Surely recommended.

This drive replaced one of the two very full Seagate Momentus 80GB 2.5" SATA drives in my HP Pavilion dv8000 series laptop. Very simple plug and play procedure. All I had to do was partition and format the drive and I was up and running. This drive is occasionally a LITTLE noisier than the factory installed Seagate but not loud enough to bother me or the person next to me. As a 30-year computer tech, I highly recommend this drive. This is a SATA II drive but works perfectly in my SATA I laptop. I'll be purchasing another one to replace the other drive in this computer. Then I'll have a 1TB laptop. Cool!

I needed a bigger drive than the stock 80GB in my Mac Mini and this one (500GB Scorpio Blue) fit the bill. I was hesitant at first due to all the negative reviews about reliability and noise but for the price, I was willing to take a chance. Ever since the install, I have not heard any clicking noises from the drive and it's about 2 feet from me. I hear alot more drive park clicking from my Lenovo laptop, which is normal according to the WD tech I called about this issue. So far so good. I've been keeping a backup of everything and will update my review if anything goes wrong. So at the moment, I highly recommend this drive. The packaging was adequate but interesting b/c there were no seals to break to open the box but luckily for me, the drive was still inside.UPDATE (11/5/11)Now I am hearing the clicking noise. I guess after some use it gets this way. But I have yet to have any data issues (knock on wood). It is still not as loud as the Seagate Momentus in my laptop. Btw, I am surprised that the price of this drive has gone up so much. I bought it for half the price here on Amazon.

First of all, there used to be two product listings for this hard drive, both identical except for the ASIN numbers. One was listed as the stand alone, the other was listed in the Western Digital Scorpio Blue page with the pull-down menu that has all the different sized drives in the series. I have no idea what the difference is. Amazon, for some reason, took down the 500 GB listing from the pull-down menu and it now has it's own page. Odd they chose that direction. It would have made more sense to remove the individual listing.Ok, this is for PS3 owners/upgraders. This drive fits the PS3 wonderfully and runs nice and cool with no issues. For the price you can't go wrong. I have the 40 GB PS3 (Spider Man 3 bundle) and have the data (saves + install) of about 10 games and I was running out of space. I did a lot of research of the various SATA 2.5" laptop hard drives available. I researched all the various brands and compared reviews and prices vs size. I came to the conclusion that a 500 GB drive for $100 is a steal given the extra space gained, so that's the direction I went. Of all the brands, the Western Digital Scorpio Blue series seemed to have the most positive reviews all over with the least amount of reviews stating drive failure, so that's the one I chose.Installing was extremely easy after backing up my data. The longest part of the whole procedure was backing up and restoring the data. I won't go into details, but I do recommend the app another reviewer used to format an external drive larger than 32GB in the FAT32 file system. It's called "fat32format". It works extremely well and extremely fast (less than 4 seconds for a 120GB external drive). Just follow the directions and you're good. I did this because in order for the PS3 to recognize the external drive it has to be formatted in the FAT32 file system. As for the procedure of upgrading the PS3, just google "upgrade PS3 hard drive" and you'll get tons of tutorials and videos.Now here's something important: A lot of people who upgraded their PS3's and saw xxx/465 GB free after upgrading are not realizing that this is not the fault of the PS3. You could put the same drive in a laptop and it will have the same 465GB. This is because manufacturers advertise a gigabyte as something different than what windows or the PS3 recognize. Manufacturers see a gigabyte (GB) as 1000 megabytes, and 1 megabyte (MB) as 1000 kilobytes (KB), when in actuality windows sees 1 MB as 1024 KB. So that's where the unaccounted lost space goes.So as of now, my opinion is that this hard drive is a great choice for PS3 upgrades. If you don't want to drop a bill on the 500GB version they also have the Scorpio Blues in smaller sizes for reduced prices. I like this hard drive so much I may replace my laptop hard drive with one.

I bought this as a replacement for my Macbook's (2008-2009 model) original hard drive since it got corrupted when the laptop fell down at an airport ( Yes, kill me !!!)Considering I got this 500 GB for 40 odd bucks as a replacement for 160GB original Hard drive is a super bargain.Installation is easy and take about 5-10 minutes.I saw many comments complaining about it being too loud but I did not find much difference when i compare it to the original one.The speed is decent as before.I also heard cases of the hard drive going out after few months of usage. In case that happens I will surely let you all know.But for now if it working great with no visible issues. Great deal !!

Replacement drive for a 2010 13" MacBook Pro. Works fine, but isn't nearly as quiet at the stock drive (Seagate 250GB). I work in a very quiet office and the drive makes audible white noise, like a small fan is running. I also tried the 1TB version of this drive which made the same noise only a bit louder. I was hoping this 500GB WD drive would match the acoustic profile of the stock Seagate drive. No such luck. I am keeping it, though, because I am tired of cloning and swapping out hard drives. The noise isn't worth the effort of searching for a quieter drive. It only bothers me in quiet environments. If I have the AC on I can't hear it. Good enough for now; it will hold me over until SSD prices come down.Here is a speed test on the drive I can using Quickbench on my 2010 MacBook Pro.Averages in MB/sSeq. Read 51.879Seq.

Performing beautifully 2 months after installing. Only complaint is that sometimes hard drive revs fast and loud. Overall, I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

A hard drive should last a long, long time.This one didn't.I bought this hard drive at the same time as my 120GB new PS3 Slim. I had put a 300GB HD in my first PS3 and it was brilliant.But this one started giving me system failures and required hard drive database rebuilds and system restores within the first 5 months of relatively low use. I don't know if it's the drive, if I got a lemon, if 500gb hd's don't work well with the PS3, but it simply ended up being a waste of money and time for me.What I do know is my PS3 Slim is working just fine with the original 120GB HD back in it, and I can't really use this 500GB HD anymore at all. It's a $55 paperweight.

I bought the WD Scorpio Blue 500GB 3 days ago to put in to my MacBook Pro 13" (Mid-2009) at Viewnet in Lowyat Plaza for RM269. I also bought a Sensonic SATA casing for RM49 from Allit. I put the new drive in the casing, cloned my existing system over using CarbonCopyCloner. This process took about 2 hours and was problem free. Then I followed instructions posted by OCW on Youtube to remove the stock drive and put in the new drive. The only tools you need are a Philips #00 and a Torx #T6 screwdriver. Don't forget to remove the mounting screws from the stock drive and put them in the new drive! The replacement process was a breeze and went without a hitch.I then fired up my MBP and found that it took longer than usual to startup for the first time (subsequent startups were much quicker). The OS startup time wasn't noticeably faster compared to the stock drive, but application startup times for Firefox and iTunes were faster (2 bounces for Firefox and 5 bounces for iTunes). During shutdown however, I found that I have to manually close all my apps using CMD+Q before shutting down the OS, else the OS will beachball and I will have to force quit from CMD+OPTION+ESC and re-initiate the shutdown. With the stock drive, I did not have this problem -- I could just press CTRL+OPTION+CMD+EJECT with any number of applications open, and the OS will just happily quit all the apps for me and shut the machine down. This is not really a big deal, but the one aspect of this drive that was a let-down was the noise level.The stock drive was a Fujitsu 160GB which was absolutely inaudible under all operating conditions (idle/read/write), even when I put my ear up against the body of the MBP. The Scorpio Blue however, has a constant whooshing sound (could this be the "whisperring" that is referenced to by their marketing WhisperQuiet tag?) when idle that is audible from an arms length, and clicks occasionally when reading/writing. I have a few more days to try it out, and see if I can get used to the whoosh. Otherwise, I'm contemplating taking it back to the store to change it out for a Samsung.My MBP: 13" 2.26GHz (Mid-2009), 4MB RAM, 500GB WD Scorpio Blue, OS X 10.6.2.

I was an initial skeptic but I decided it was worth the upgrade because purchasing more space from Apple would've been triple the price. I took the plunge and have had this in for about 2 weeks with no problems. Installation was easy, but my computer (mid 2009 MacBook Pro), didn't not initially recognize the new drive, so after scouring the Apple website and forums, I found a solution and all has been well since then. Be sure to use to use Time Machine to migrate all your info. I will wait a while until I update this review but if you're a skeptic, take a chance!

It's very easy to install. Only took me 5 minutes. The 320gb wasn't really 320gb, but I expected that. You will end up in the 260's by the time you install it, and my playstation is actually quiet for once.

I was nearly out of space on my 80gb ps3's hdd so I just decided to get this drive for it. In order for the ps3 to recognize it you must first format to FAT32 either using a laptop or a pc with a 2.5 sata case enclosure and usb cable connected to it. You will also need a program for the formatting since the drive is greater than 32 gb, I recommend using Easeus partition master home edition to do so. Anyway once your ps3 recognizes the drive it'll format on its own. This drive worked very well and was a good price for all the space left on it. I haven't had any lag issues or ps3 slowing down as others have reported and am very pleased with this drive. Highly recommended!

As other reviews have noted, this drive is PERFECT for installing into a Sony Playstation 3 (PS3). The capacity and performance are both outstanding. 500 GB is enough for all my games, saves, music, and photos. Instead of just a PS3, I now have a home entertainment PC.If anything, this drive is quieter and faster than the factory installed hard drive. There hasn't been a single hiccup in the months since I've installed the drive. No overheating, no loud whirring, no disk errors, no lost saves.Given the incredibly good value for this drive, it's a no brainer to install this in your PS3 and open up a new world of photo, music, and home movie storage.

I purchased this drive to upgrade the storage on my Playstation 3. The process was quick and easy and this drive worked great. There are some really good guides out there that will show you step by step, how to backup your system, remove the old drive, insert the new drive, and then recover your backed up data. I had a 60GB PS3, now with this drive I have so much extra storage! I can purchase games directly from the Playstation Network and keep them on my PS3 without having to change discs. Movies can be downloaded the same way.

I got this HDD for my PS3, and let me tell you it went in great, although it didn't come out to 500 gb's on the ps3, (assuming from formatting, and being preinstalled with what nots from the system) i did the back up data, and never checked the total gbs before i redid the back up onto the new hdd,... none the less, it was quick, and it's good for the price i paid, oh and i think it's the biggest ps3 hdd system now, lol ( you can't currently get a bigger hdd for it yet )
