If you are looking to replace a hard drive and want to get the best bang for the buck then this drive is for you. It comes in a nicely shipped box with full foam padding and in an anti-static bag. I have a mother board with built in SATA connections so plugging it up with the slim line cable that SATA drives use is so easy a 5 yr old could do it. I also have a 500wat power supply that has a single connector for a SATA drive which also is handy.The best thing is that it's 640gb footprint when formated is still close to that size around 648.89, instead of getting a 500gb HD and having 4.5gb. The speed on this is supper fast for my needs and while it runs at 7200 rpm it is noiseless and runs very cool.All things considered, I don't think you can get a better deal on a drive that is comparable in size, cost, speed and quality. If you are looking to jump into the terabite realm you might want to consider getting two of these and running them as a raid, rather than buying the $95 WD green tb drive listed on this products page. From what I understand Western Digital has three lines of these OEM hard drives, the green, blue and black (I think) where the green is on the slow side and the blue is a bit faster and the black is the fastest. Either way, for a few dollars more, you are better off with a raid setup that gives you something like 1.2 tb while the 1tb after formating will be just under that, thus denying you the rightful claim to say you have one terabite under the hood. Happy computing.

A hard drive is a simple, basic computer component; it either works or it doesn't. I bought a matched pair of these for a NAS/RAID I put together for a client. One of the drives was DOA. I contacted the vendor and never even received a reply. I will never purchase from "Sidian" again. However, I contacted Western Digital directly and they promptly issued an RMA and we affected the exchange simply and quickly. The replacement arrived and there were no further problems. So, my review is this: Sidian as a vendor is on my "do not use" list; Western Digital hard drives I recommend and will buy again.

Product works as advertised, quality is good, no problems with product or seller. Amazon has been my seller for many items and has never disappointed. Always quality products.

I ordered this after reading the reviews, and especially the Seagate reviews. This arrived quickly, packaging was fine, installed quickly and easily, and my Windows Vista 64-bit is perfectly happy with it. I would (and probably will) purchase another.

CAUTION: This is a 3.5" drive - NOT a 2.5" laptop drive. It appeared in my search for "2.5 sata drive 7200" so I ordered it hastily. Amazon was very good about the return, even paying the return postage. So no harm, no foul; Amazon is still great in every way except indexing listings for search. :-)

I bought this drive with caution after reading some of the other reviews, but, there must have been a bad run of faulty disks, previously. It has performed very well for me without 1 problem. It is an OEM bulk drive, but if your looking for software, go to western digital's website. Under support/drivers.. you can download (for free) Acronis True image WD edition (a cloning program and more) and it worked flawlessly. Also there you can download WD's Data lifeguard Diagnosis Tool. It is very handy to quickly test, or fully test, or completely erase a drive to start with a clean slate. However : use the cloning program carefully, because you can accidently wipe out the wrong drive if your not careful, so just pay extra attention when you are choosing destination disk etc... Also the drive came packaged very nicely and was undamaged in any way,on time, thanks UPS !!

As always, WD provides some of the most dependable hard drives on the retail market. Very happy with this drive and the dependable quality. Our radio station puts HDD's to the test with constant Read/Write activity in high volume on a daily basis...proven! Amazon's free shipping on this took a bit longer than the rest of my order, but hey...it's free! If you ever have problems with your WD hard drive, just visit their website ([...]) to take advantage of their excellent RMA replacement policy...I sent in a glitchy 2 year old hard drive for about $5 shipping and received a brand new replacement very quickly...now that's service...and that's another reason why I don't go with any other brands.-Jake in HawaiiWestern Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive 3.5 Inch, 16 MB Cache, 7200 RPM SATA II WD5000AAKS

Yes sata II has a transfer rate of 6 gb/sec however unless you have an ssd hard drive it wont transfer faster than 1gb/sec and original sata is 3gb/sec. so dont think it will make a difference on a mechanical hard drive

I typically look for the Western Digital brand when purchasing a hard drive. I've never had one fail on me yet (knock on wood). The install went without a hitch. The drive is whisper quiet. I'll always come back to WD!

I stopped buying bare drives from Newegg because they had poor packaging. Now it is time to do the same from Amazon.The drive was put in a box with two sheets of bubble wrap. The drive was not wrapped in the bubble wrap. The drive was not suspended in inserts to keep it from being banged around.Worse, the two short sheets of bubble wrap put into the box were completely deflated. Not one bubble had any air left in it.So, essentially, this drive was unprotected, just banging around in the box while it was being shipped.

As is usual with Western Digital products, this is an excellent hard drive. I use this in my D-Link NAS-323 backup device, and it works great.It's a no frills drive, but is fast and would be a great purchase for anyone looking for a new SATA hard drive.Be sure to register the drive at Western Digital's website, so you can take advantage of the warranty and software options(you can download utilities and backup software from their site, for free).

Update 2/19/09:Tried to do another exchange from Amazon, and here is what I got:" ....I'm sorry to hear that you experienced the same problem with your replacement shipment.As it seems that the problem with this item is more widespread than we originally thought, we are not able to send another replacement..."Original 2/18/09:The drive is a big disappointment. The first one was defective. After cloning my old hard drive, it worked for a few hours. Then the Windows became very slow and unresponsive. Windows failed to reboot, it reported bad boot sector records.Contacted Western Digital customer support. Downloaded and ran Data Lifeguard Diagnostic per instruction. The tool reported the drive had too many bad sectors, also the write zeros was failed. Returned it to Amazon for an exchange.Just in case my older power supply unit was the culprit, it needed a Molex to SATA adapter to work with the drive, I ordered a brand new 430W Themaltake PSU. After receiving the replacement drive, I first ran Data Lifeguard Diagnostic on it. Sure enough, it again detected the unused drive has too many bad sectors. When tried clone my drive again, it failed half way. Only one of the two partitions was copied over. I used Acronis True Image Home 2009 15 days trial version for the disk clone. Now, my trial period is about up, and I still don't have a working drive. What a joke! Also, the price of the drive just dropped by $5 since I ordered it.It seems these OEM drive have very poor quality control. What is going on???

Perfect price & size for a system drive, it is stable & quiet, I had no problems so far. It's a OEM drive, so don't expect it to come with instructions or cables at all, that's one of the reasons why it has such a fair price.

Having suffered with a measly 40-gig hard drive for the past year, I finally got around to ordering a new one. This solved the problem perfectly. The OEM version (this one) doesn't come with mounting equipment or a cable, but it's very clear that this is the case and I can't complain if they tell you up-front.Mounting it was simplicity itself, and it has worked flawlessly since. It's very fast and completely silent, and I have noticed no increase in my system operating temperature (I have a Dell Optiplex case).5 stars, highly recommended.

Purchased on a deal for $30ish a piece. Now im seeing why they were so cheap. First unit arrives and it does nothing. No windows device will pick this drive up. Acronis doesn't see it either. I figured maybe I needed to format, but it isn't in computer management either so I cant format it effectively.Sent the first unit back and Amazon shipped me a new one. Amazon handled the entire process wonderfully. I'll buy from Amazon again, but most definitely not from WD again. Highly disappointing experience from this unit will drive me back to other manufacturers for years to come.The second drive arrived late last week to the same problems. It isn't recognized by anything whatsoever. So two drives, DOA. Time for a refund!

This is an excellent drive. Extremely quite. Fast drive, but not quite as fast as the Seagate 7200.12. Compare prices with the Seagate. You can't go wrong with either.

The first HD that I received ended up being defective. Other than that, it was easy to setup on my Dell Inspiron Desktop. It was a very simple plug and play since I was replacing a hard drive that went bad.

I have the 500gb version of this drive and WOW is all i can say...for less than $60, i got a quality drive from Western Digital. Check out the pictures i added--they're screenshots of benchmarks/error scans. It performed well, getting close to an average of 100MB/sec read speeds, with speeds up to 115/120MB. This drive runs great, the temperature never really goes above 110F (43C) if you have good airflow in your case. This drive was packed very nicely, in an anti-static bad, and a box with foam cutouts that firmly held it in place, there was no way that it could be damaged during shipping. I would definitely recommend this drive to anyone looking for a great performance drive at a good price. *remember this is the DRIVE ONLY, no SATA/power cables or mounting hardware is included.
