The plastic packaging inside the box was cracked, and the drive was sliding across the box freely when i opened it. The drive seems fine, though i am nervous it might fail soon due to damage, i would return it but don't want the trouble. All my previous amazon items purchase have been perfect with no trouble. I don't want to be fussy either, but the delivery promised 3 days, i just want to note it took 10 days for delivery.

We purchased this drive May 2010, and we can't say anything good about it.First, we tried to format it on Windows XP - no deal, Windows kepttelling us "This drive cannot be formatted".So we tried Windows Vista, SP2. Nothing.Windows 7. Nothing again.We can't say it was DOA, because the drive showed upon the system and was spinning.Western Digital is moving away from Windows XP, and developingdrives that work exclusively with Windows 7. We can't saythat this drive was one of these "special" 4k size drives(There was no specifications on the website on this model sayingso).We no longer sell Western Digital hard drives here at ourfirm. We'll stick with Hitachi, Seagate and Samsung.Daniel James Tyler (Danxo) TheWJ Group.

If you get a "Hardware Initiate Failed!" comment with this HDD, your computer is only SATA 1.0 compatible and you must jumper pins 5 and 6 to revert the HDD to 1.0(second pair of pins from the SATA connector). Since this is an 'OEM' item devoid of instructions and the like, I had no way to know this and thought it was DOA. So, I ordered a replacement. When the second one also came DOA, I knew it couldn't be the HDD's. The possibility of getting 2 DOA Western Digital HDD's is pretty much 0. Once I figured everything out, I decided to keep both.

I have a in home recording studio, I needed a reliable hard drive that kept up with my system,after installing this drive into the PC, it was a breeze to setup, Vista recognized it immeadiatly. Setup a breeze. When I ran the pc and accesed the hard drive, i could not hear it at all, I had to put my ear up to it to hear anything. "Whisper Quiet" as WD calls it is right on. smooth running drive, and at a great price.. accesses everything i need quickly.

Easy install. Works great. Very fast. Using with Ubuntu 10.04(64-bit). I had no problems loading everything onto it, and it runs really well. Also, this drive is super-quiet! This machine is both my everyday computer and is part of my home theater. I can watch movies on it and not even hear the drive. Average read rate showing as 105.1Mb/s in Disk Utility benchmark test.

Cons: This is the second WD Hard Drive to die after just one month of operation. It cost us $155 to have a Tech shop interpret the error codes from the "Blue Screen of Death," to determine that the problem was a defective one month old Western Digital Hard Drive. Model: WD Caviar BlueWe had to pay WD are own shipping charges to return WD's defective Hard Drive + the $155 Tech shop repair bill for their analysis of the Hard Drive error codes that came up on the Blue Screen of Death Screen.Other Thoughts: We realize that no Hard Drive company's product is perfect. But, after this second bad experience with this model of Western Digital Hard Drive, we are going to try our luck with a different manufacturer's Hard Drive.Since the Western Digital Hard Drive is defective, we should not have to pay WD to return their defective product. WD should have a policy to compensate all shipping charges, once they are able to verify that their Hard Drive is indeed defective.

This drive works great in my iMac. Installing anything in the iMac is quite a painful process due to the amount of work needed to get to the drive. I would recommend having a 2nd set of hands to help with lifting the LCD and such if you're doing any sort of replacement for the iMac.

At 500GB this is a reasonably large capacity drive by today's standards, yet very low-priced, about 10 cents/GB including shipping. Though they're always 500GB with a 16MB cache there have been several generations of the WD5000AAKS originally with more platters. Recently the WD5000AAKS drives I've received are single-platter which lowers the weight, noise, heat and power consumption slightly. Sustained sequential read throughput now seems to be upwards of 120MB/sec (maybe 10-15% higher than the last two-platter version) and is basically the same as the Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB drive. As it should though, the Caviar Black outperforms the Blue on random access. These are so cheap now that it's easy to justify running extra drives so that you have a backup.

I am running Windows Vista with this as the master drive, and my old Hitachi Deskstar being demoted to slave drive. According to HDD Tune this thing is a 40% increase across the board (read, write, seek, and burst transfer), and thats compared to the SATA-300 Hitachi that outperforms a WD ATA 133 by 50% or so.According to the onlike specs (backed up by other reviews I found) the Cavair blue is only slightly behind the $20 or so more Cavair Black, which is only 1.0 ms seek time slower than the $300 velociraptor.The only complaint I have is the reason I bought the 250 gig was to partition into an 80, and a 170, then RAID 0 the partition and my Hitachi. Unfortunatly, my RAID controller (750i South Bridge with media sheild) dosen't recognise partitions as HDDs like Windows, so all I would get is a 160G RAID 0, and I suspect the Hitachi may be getting old, so I wouldn't trust my personal data to it, just my game installations (in Vista game saves are automatically move to the "My saved games" folder).On a foot note, the drive is "bulk," so no cables. Also the legacy connector has been removed so you'll need a real SATA power connector.My system 28SEPT09ASUS P5N-DPentium D 950 (for sale on Amazon $145) moving to C2Q Q8200Crucial PC2-6400 (2X1024)Corsair TX750No GPU at this time, waiting to see what games are bundled with the GTX260 next mo.

I bought this disk in January 2009. It sat in the box until June 2009. It got very light use for three months and then sat unused until June 2010. After one week the system wouldn't boot. I am now running CheckDisk. The file check routine has had to repair hundreds of files. Luckily, the files are all backed up.

Box arrived without tape. Opened to reveal the hard drive in ESD bag loosely jammed into a small cardboard box. I can only imagine how well this thing traveled, the ESD shows visible signs of impact from the logic board.I've never received a HDD in this kind poor packaging. Usually a layer of something shock absorbent is standard, like bubble wrap or urethane, styrofoam... This is unacceptable.I plan on doing some diagnostics on the disk and won't be surprised if anything appears dysfunctional.The most disturbing thing was that it was shipped and placed in my mail completely unsecured and it's contents could have been pilfered by anyone along it's way.

Yes I got on on the REALLY good deal here for the drive for just under $40.00 shipped (super-saver). I won't bore you fellow enthusiasts with details that 90% of you already know. Enthusiasts are the ones that usually buy white-box OEM drives and they (and i) already know what the drive is capable of and it's specifications.It came in a small box and was delivered in a reasonable time-frame (about 6 business days) and was in a very small box, BUT it had very thin bubble wrap and the drive would slide from one end to the other inside of the box. Not good. Not good at all, but stunningly the drive was fine and tested out great. Running in SATA II mode just fine with great read/write speedsThe deal that was offered with this drive was a stunner price wise was and was quickly sold out at that price, and i'm not sure I have ever seen an HDD deal this good before for the price/capacity shipped. I'm glad I got in on it and I hope Amazon and other merchants (you know like the "other place" that computer enthusiasts/builders usually shop at) would occasionally do the same from time to time. Certainly it would bring a lof of needed traffic to the site and it's good for the economy. Even if you didn't get in on the fabulous deal it's still a fantastic SATA drive for the price.

Ive never had one issue with Western digital caviar drives, and I used them the last 10 or more years, since I never shut my machiens off they rn 24/7 and the WD caviar drives just run perfectly.I bought 2 of these caviar blue drives, now a 3rd one, the first 2 came in a nice little box with instruction manual not a little piece of paper, and mounting screws, it was well packaged and it just looked great, you definitely felt and could see its a quality drive.

We chose to buy from Amazon instead of Newegg. The methods of storing/handling and packaging these raw, OEM drives causes a lot of DOA units.Newegg (as of 8 months ago from this posting) still has problems with DOA units. I think Newegg may stack these and stress surface mount components, etc. No such problems with the amazon.com drives so we buy 100% of our drives from Amazon.Pros- Quiet- Bulletproof (the AAKS) We have 20+ (now 30+) of these in Dell T3400 Precision workstations and put 3 in each machine.NOTE: We have not had even ONE problem in 2+ years of NORMAL use - see 01/05/2010 update - (oldest 12/30 drive units are 2+ years old, others are 1+ years).Cons- None that I know of so far.Did a lot of research on the platters they use on these drives and the technology. The AAKS seems to be the sweet spot in the line. AACS and AAJS were a bit different but not much. The WD5000CSRTL model seemed to have the most problems.The environment these drives run are lab servers that are "ON" 24/7 so we don't get the same ON/OFF cycles that a home system would have.Checking the hard driveRun the "WD diagnostics" that come with the disk or you can download the utility from the Western Digital site to find bad sectors just in case you get a bad one (we never have).This utility will run on *ANY* disk (not just WD). It may take a few hours for a "full scan" but it's time well spent.01/05/2010 Update: Finally lost one of these 500GB drives due to a move to a new building. The drive was near 2+ years old. The head didn't crash and the drive spun up but Windows XP wouldn't recognize it so it needs some specialized software kung-fu to re-mount the drive. (it was a secondary drive -no OS). The data will probably be recovered into a 2nd drive. I expect one of the movers dropped this particular machine in the move (Hey, it's not a soccer ball, it's a hard drive, what do you expect?) Still a great drive for under $60.

I used this drive as an external backup inside a Star Tech USB enclosure. After backing up files, installing UBUNTU (just in case my main drive failed I could boot this one up and have access to my files) and after spending a long time organizing those files, I set it aside. I should say it lasted less than three weeks because I barely used it at all after doing the backups. Three weeks later I went to do some more backups and the drive was no longer recognized. I tried plugging it into a different computer - no luck. I put different hard drives into the enclosure and they read just fine. At one point it did read for about 2 minutes and then went dead again. This is the second 500gig drive that died on me this year (the other was a Seagate). I'm awaiting a new drive, but I don't have very high hopes.

Just because a hard drive (Western Digital Caviar Blue 320 GB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive)is capable of handling high G's is no reason to ship it without cushioning! The drive came in a well-packaged brown box, but had no cushioning inside - none, nada, zip, zilch!! The outside box outside did not say fragile either.I suppose it should not be unsafe to rely on this hard drive to store your precious data since shippers will have given the package TLC in its handling of this package. It's not like they throw packages around!

I already had one of these in my computer. I'd been using it for years with no problems, but I was starting to worry that something might happen eventually, so I bought two more and set them up in a RAID 5. All is still going good, I guess. Decent drive, seems fast enough, have yet to see one die.

This drive was bought as a replacement for my wife's computer, whose drive was totally fried. I should have known more before ordering and installing the drive myself. I was not aware enough of the difference between IDE and SATA, so I ordered a SATA drive for a computer with an IDE motherboard. This required adapters to make the new drive work. Once the adapters were installed (correctly, because I made a couple of mistakes along the way) I got it up and running, with the help of our son-in-law. Getting Windows re-installed also was no picnic, even though we had the disk for it, since it did not include ANY drivers for anything. The drive now works fine, and I stress that the problems I had were not due to the drive, which now functions beautifully, giving my wife more storage space than she will ever use.
