I have a high quality/performance demand and I always research before purchasing. This drive is EASY to install (screw screw plug plug done) and works as advertised. I've had it for about a month now and for the format (Sata II), size and especially the price, you simply cannot go wrong with this purchase.A definite "buyers choice"!PS: Remember, this is OEM so you will need to obtain a power cord and data cable. I already had a few, they came with the motherboard, so no let downs for me. Be prepared... get yours in advance!

I just ordered my third WD6400 over the last 6 months. This drive seems to be the current optimal design: only two platters (2 X 320G), very quiet operation, and very good cost/capacity ratio. Larger drives have more platters (more noise, less reliability?), and seem to have more problems.Personally, my main goal for a drive is low noise, second is reliability, and third is low cost/capacity ratio. Seagate was the low-noise winner with their 80GB Barracuda drives a few years ago, so I stayed with Seagate drives longer than I should have. Their later drives became noisier; I find recent Seagate noise levels unacceptable. Each drive or series needs to be evaluated on it's own; continuing to favor a company after they start degrading quality is a mistake.

I purchased this model about a year ago, and it comes with 5 years manufacturer warranty. Recently I found somehting wrong with this HD and contacted with WD customer service, after several emails back and forth, I downloaded WD diagnostics utility, and got the report "too many bad sectors".Then I was told by customer service that I need to ship the bad HD by myself and have it replaced. It is ridiculous, think about the market value of this HD around $60 to $80, but I need to pay another $20 to $30 to ship it. And who knows how long the HD will last again.I dealt with HP/Compaq warranty regarding the defective laptop before, they basically sent out a package with postage paid already and I don't need to pay anything. A much better way to handle warranty.

Works as it should.All you need is a SATA cable to connect it to your motherboard, a SATA connector on your power supply, and four screws to mount it in your chassis.I'm very happy with the performance, and will probably buy another to use as a back up drive.I downloaded the software off of the WD site, but you aren't missing anything if you don't have it. I made a partition and formatted it during Windows set up, then finished partitioning through the Windows compmgmt.msc. I did use the software to copy a partition off of an older drive, but the utility didn't thrill me. You could probably find another free utility on the web that would work as well, or better.

Well, it came very well packaged and protected, i feel its faster than my previous Barracuda 320Gb, very silent and gets the job well done :), i still cant imagine what im going to fill 500Gb with, but the price was quite reasonable.

I got this Western Digital drive a couple of years ago. The drive worked okay for about a month, then the SMART info became garbled. I RMA'd the drive and got a replacement. All has been good until a couple of days ago, when it started exhibiting the click of death. 450gb of files gone forever. I am glad for the people who are having a good experience with this drive, but be afraid, very afraid and back up your data.My 500gb Samsung, also purchased about the same time is still going strong. Unfortunately, it was not in a RAID configuration. I have never had a Samsung fail, so I think I will stick with them from now on. They seem to be more reliable, because they don't go for the cutting edge which this drive was at the time I purchased it.

Fast access, very few bad sectors when formated. It's been running well for 3 months now (not long, I know) but it is very stable. Note - does not come with cables or mounting kit.

Bought a dell xps. of course they felt the need to include the crappiest hardrive ppl make with it(seagate) after 2 months it randomly crashed when i turned it on, so ordered a westgate and now everything is working great even a little faster. simple installation, compatible, just dropped it in the slot and reinstalled windows. however only order this if you are using it to replace your hardrive, not if your adding on because it doesnt come with a installation kit.

The 640 2 platter WD HDD is great. I stroked the drive by partitioning off the first 100GB. I was able to attain an average read speed of 120MB/s on this partition. There is no simple way I have of checking access time on this partition, but it is definitely quick.The average over the whole drive is right around 100MB/s read speed.With these numbers, it competes with the raptor series.

I have always had a grudge against WD. My first computer had a WD drive that dies 2 months after the 1 year warranty and they refused to even offer a discount for a new one. Well, about 2 years ago I tried them for an "enterprise version" hard drive with a 5 year warranty. It has handled my music server just fine. This drive is for a backing up the system and so far so good. It does what it should and without much noise. If both keep working beyond their warranty dates I will be very happy with WD.

Replaced 160gb security raid array with a pair of 640gb drives. Hard to believe you can buy 650gb drives for $59. They are working well.

I would have given it 5 stars had it included a cable. But otherwise, good price and a solid product. Plus Amazon got it here fast.

First hard drive was dead, too many bad sectors, but the were in the middle of the disk, so I didn't know until I tried to copy files to the drive. Returned it to WD and got a replacement, that one was dead. Returned it, next one was dead. I call WD to complain, they upgraded it to a 640 HD and paid for the return shipping. New drive came and it was dead also. Called and complained again. Now they are sending me a 750Gb HD, but the shippment is delayed. So I got my first HD at the beginning of Dec. and now it's into Jan. and I still don't have a working one. I've bought WD hard drives before and they worked fine, but I'm not going to buy another one for a while. These have all been their blue models, maybe their black models are better.

I bought one of these (on Amazon) because it was well-rated, 500GB, and a great price. My Dell desktop had only 1 drive (a 40GB SATA), but could take 2 drives. I downloaded the free HDCLONE software (and made a boot CD for HDCLONE), added the new drive, updated the BIOS so that the machine would see the 2nd drive, and HDCLONE mirrored the new drive in about 2 hours. I then removed the old 40GB drive, plugged the new one in as primary, updated the BIOS (really easy), and *poof*, I now had one 500gb drive, a perfect copy of the old one. What could be nicer?It worked so well that I bought a second one of these and did the exact same thing to my other Dell desktop. Now I'm thinking about getting a 3rd and an enclosure and making my own external backup drive.

I bought this to deposit video on after recording it from a TV tuner. It was used as an internal SATA drive, and I filled it up at one point. It withstood numerous recordings and then renderings as I edited out commercials and created my personal collection. It is now in an external case and connected to my laptop via USB 2.0 and still works fine. We play videos off of it through the network. I will say that when I got it, it had trouble initializing, but the included software solved that problem. It has worked wonderfully since then under what I would consider to be pretty rigorous use.

I bought this HD on Jan-2009 and used it as a storage unit only. I had a single primary partition and around 350Gb on videos, music and images.After 7 months of usage, during a normal boot on Win XP, I got a black screen saying that the Master File Table (MFT) was corrupt. I've been trying to get back my HD to work after almost two months witout success.I've worked with Hitachi, Samsung and Seagate hard disks and this is the first time I get such error.I don't beleive it's a WD lack of qualit, but perhaps this model is not as good as the manufacturer's reputation.

Check the Power Connectors in your device, this drive has no "Legacy Power Connector" (Western Digital's Term) on it. You can buy an adapter cable for less than $1.00 for power - but you chould check before ordering this disk.You should also know that this disk does not include any "SATA" cable either.

I have 7 Western Digital 500gb hard drives and I am ordering 2 more today.I use these drives to store digital photography images for both myself and my wife. We typically shoot 50 - 100 gb per photography trip, and we keep 2 additional sets of backups on separate hard drives. So we need a lot of drives. These drives sit in removable drive bays in SATA enclosures and they are moved in and out of the enclosures all the time.I have never had a Western Digital hard drive fail, even though several were purchased as soon as that size became available. I have had other brands fail but not Western Digitals. Sooner or later they will fail but with the cost of 500gb drives this cheap it is silly not to have backups.

I have used WD hard drives in my computers for years (still have a 40GB IDE running the OS). Anyways, i got 2 of these to upgrade the storage space and it was a painless install...I chose these over others because of the 2 platters (too many hard drive crashes over the years).Oh yeah when i looked on amazon they were sold out. went to another website and paid $10 more got one that was D.O.A. and now hoping their customer service refunds the money. Should have just let amazon back order for me. (the other web site also sent me a blue and green when i wanted two blue, I recycle to save the enviroment).

My original Dell computer came with a 160 Gb hard disk that was fine four years ago. With many digital photos and much music, I was running out of space. And since I needed to reinstall Windows XP, it made sense to add disk storage at the same time.At under $100 this product just made sense. It was easy to install and is much faster than my original hard disk. And, by keeping both disks in the computer and reconfiguring my BIOS, I am able to use my new Western Digital 640 Gb HD as my C: drive and keep my old drive available should I need to get data I may have forgotten to move to the new drive. Eventually, the old disk will be used just for my pictures and music.I would definitely recommend the Western Digital 640 Gb for anyone looking to increase storage.
