I bought the 500 GB hard disk to replace the corrupted original disk in my Sony Vaio desktop from 2004. I have used it as a home theater PC and server with the system running for months at a time. There are no problems with this disk and it is much quieter than the original one. It's a great price, although on an old computer, I had to use an adapter also found on Amazon, which adapts this SATA connection to an older PATA motherboard.I'm amazed at the price because I revived a relatively ancient computer with $40 and a free copy of Ubuntu. Can't complain!

I originally purchased this drive as a backup for my 320gb WD hard drive in case the drive failed. I'd be ready with a dependable name brand drive in the event that happened. As things turned out, I found a 1tb WD drive a couple weeks later. That got me to thinking, why not have two internal drives in my machine? A couple of weeks of hit-or-miss, I finally decided to put the 500gb as my "C" drive for Windows Vista OS and my numerous programs and the 1tb drive for my data files. Perfect! One thing I didn't even try was to install these myself. They are "oem" and come without instructions, installation hardware, and the knowledge I'd need to successfully install them. Fortunately, I have a really good computer repair guy and he got everything installed and up and running. The machine ran much faster and smoother with these drives. I had the beginning of my "dream machine"! I'm pleased with these drives after more than six months all is still fine. I trust Western Digital and hope these drives will last for several years. Oh, I still back up everything two times on external drives... better safe that sorry. Highly recommended!

I am a technical person and ordered this for a client. Though I am confident it is a decent product, I ran GWSCAN on the hard drive and it had a read element failure during the test.So I returned it.The only other complaint is it took a week to get to me. Given this was from California (1 week) and when I ship from Newegg.com (3 days) they are in New Jersey. I live in New York, but that probably makes me too picky.

Comes with nothing but the hard drive wrapped in an antistatic bag and wedged with plastic supports inside a sturdy cardboard box. Plugged it in and spun it up; very quiet compared to my Caviar Black 1TB. I am impressed and should have bought this instead for my previous build.

This Western Digital 500 GB Hard Drive installed easily and works perfectly in my Zmodo Surveillance System with 8 Weatherproof IR Cameras PKD-DK0865-NHD. A 500 GB drive was the smallest size I wanted to use since that will provide roughly 168 hours of recording time in my security system. The drive is fast enough to keep up with the video feeds and is not very noisy when in use.This works well for my needs!Highly Recommended!CFH

Compared to Caviar Black 750 GB this one is quieter with comparable transfer rate. The burst rate is slightly slower, but the quieter head movement far surpasses the advantage of the Caviar Black in my opinion. The audible clicking of the Black is irritating. It only comes with a 2 year warranty unlike the Black's 5 years. The bottom line is if you want quiet performance then go Blue. If you want longer warranty then Black is it. Speed differences are negligible and definitely not noticeable outside of benchmarks.

Ships without the jumper, and Western Digital refuses to ship me one. I called technical support and they told me to buy it on Best Buy?? You have to be kidding me. Can have this brick back since they are too cheap to provide the tiny jumper that is necessary for its installation.

I bought this drive to replace my 6yr old 150gig drive (also a Western Digital drive) which was running out of room. As of now the drive works beautifully no problems although I've only had it for 2 days. Here's hoping I get another 5-6 yrs out of this drive too.By the way I am really impressed with how fast Amazon dilvered the item to me. I ordered it late Monday night and got it early Wednesday morning. I didn't even pay for 2 day shipping.

Well, what can you say about a hard drive? I've always had the best of luck with this brand, others have been less than, ahem, thrilling, shall we say? Bought for a client's PC, whose old drive crashed, now running fine, everybody is happy, the price is great and fast shipping. Just remember to buy your SATA cables, glad I was replacing, not adding or I'd have been up that one, certain creek lacking any long-armed propulsion devices.

My use for these drives is to replace a couple of aging five year old 80GB drives in Windows XP and XP Media Center machines. Those drives are still running fine, however, for the price, I had absolutely no reason not to upgrade them at this time.I came across this drive middle of last week and Amazon was selling it new for $29 - I was scratching my head thinking "what's the deal" and "what's wrong with these drives"? Sure, even though they were above $25, Amazon was still charging for the shipping - so I took two to bring the per drive shipping down slightly. The old 3Gb version of this drive was selling for over $40 - so again, scratching my head about this. Maybe it was a pricing mistake? Whatever - it was a great price.The drives arrived yesterday, same standard OEM packaging all of my six other WD drives have come in over the past 9 months. I used Clonezilla to clone the old drives on to the new, it went smoothly without any issues. I'm storing the old drives just in case these new ones have any issues I won't have to rebuild the system drives from scratch.I know that the motherboards in my machines cannot make use of the 6Gb throughput, however, these drives are definitely faster than what they're replacing - older WD drives which indicate they are 7200RPM and 3Gb. Specs on the older drives indicate performance shouldn't be all that different, but it is, and for the better. I won't question it.The drive indicates you can jumper pins 5 and 6 to limit it to 3Gb, but I didn't understand the benefit of doing it, so I left it unjumpered and it's working well.To summarize - these drives are fast, quiet, and so far are performing excellently. I'm very happy with them thus far.

The 160GB drive on my Dell E520 was filling up, so I ordered this 1GB drive. Easier to upgrade than I thought: 1) Slipped drive into spare (plastic) enclosure -- no screws needed. 2) Attached spare power cable to drive. 3) Noted no spare Sata cable, so off to Radio Shack. 4) $4 later, all connected, and time to boot. 5) Told boot menu that I have a new drive on Sata port 4. 6) Booted to XP and confirmed with EaseUS Partition Manger that a new 1GB unpartitioned drive is available. 7) Used EaseUS Todo Backup to "Disk Clone" the old drive to the new drive (it took about 30 minutes to cloned all three bootable partitions from the old drive to the new drive). 8) Switched Sata cables so new drive became primary boot drive 9) Rebooted -- came right up! Also rebooted from other partitions of new drive, too. 10) Used EaseUS Partition Manger to increase partition sized up to max of new disk -- took about 15 minutes. DONE!

If you are going to buy this, might as well put in another 100 for the WD Caviar Green which is 32mb cache and 1tb. When it comes to speed and an HDD above 500gb. Cache is what matters most, do not overlook that fact.ANYWAYS! This is a good product. It does what it needs to do the only problem I had was simply the price. I may be wrong but it seems overpriced for being only 500gb and 16mb cache.

If you have the right SATA 6 GBs motherboard, this baby smokes with the 7200 RPM and decent cache. Great price and I can't imagine I'll use the space on this, so I don;t need the larger device.

Bought this drive to facilitate an update of my MAC OS X operating system. Backed up my existing start up drive on this WD 1TB as well and making the drive bootable. All worked just fine and the update was completed successfully. For storage/back-up this is a very good drive. It works as expected... is not noisy... nor disruptive in any way. Pretty much the same experience I've had with all WD drives I now own/use or have used in the past.

Ordered by overnight to fix an iMac that seemed to be losing it's mind. Just installed Lion and since then it had been acting very strange. Googled changing a hard drive on the IMac and found all kinds of help on the web. Youtube has several very good videos on changing the hard drive on the Mac so since I have repaired many PC's I decided to give it a shot. Had to open it up a second time because I missed hooking up one of the connections, but it was good after that. Booted up on Snow Leopard and formatted the drive, installed the OS and then updated to Lion. Restored the programs I need from the time machine and now its working great. The hard drive is fast and the price is excellent compared to Newegg. I really pays to be a prime customer on Amazon. I did download and ran Onyx (free and a program you should have) and the hard drive looks good.Western Digital 500 GB Sata 6.0 Gb-s 16 MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare-oem Drives WD5000AAKX

Upgraded from a old 120g 5200 rpm ide drive to this drive at the same time as I went from XP 32-bit OS to Windows 7 64-bit. Drive is very quiet - I can't hear it above my case fans (which are quiet). With this drive and the OS upgrade I'm getting 10 more fps on SWTOR and Lord of The Rings Online, which was my goal. Love it!I'm upgrading my pc piecemeal. All I need now is mobo, cpu, and ram :P

I've read reviews of this drive saying it's quiet...I guess quietness is extremely subjective. To some people, this drive might be quiet, and if you've got a couple loud fans in your case you'll probably agree. But as someone who has spent a good amount of money on the quietest fans, power supplies, etc., the amount of noise this drive produces isn't acceptable. Don't recommend using it for any kind of HTPC setup or if you're looking for something quiet. 5200rpm drives will be significantly quieter, if you're willing to sacrifice some performance. 2.5" notebook drives are also an extremely attractive choice - returned this drive and got a 7200rpm 2.5" drive and I can hardly hear it (2.5" drives work in desktops, of course).Can't complain about anything else though, which is why it gets 2 stars. Great price, as-expected performance, WD provides a cloning tool which is extremely simple to use so if you're inexperienced with that kind of thing and need to clone it's as simple as clicking the "next" button (this is an OEM drive, it doesn't include software or cables, the software I'm referring to is available to download on WD's site). Just isn't the drive for me.

I was worried that the WD drive would make noise because this computer is in my bedroom and my favorite thing about it is that it is completely silent. It didn't.I ran the computer several days with the cover off as I switched the SATA leads back and forth as I looked for settings and data on the old drive to move to the new drive. This new WD is fast and quiet. I like it.Packaging was appropriate. Protected the drive but was easy to open and not wasteful.The only suggestion that I would make would be that Amazon could put a note that folks buying a new SATA data cable may need a new power adapter to connect from a conventional power supply plug to a SATA drive. I had to make an unexpected trip to Radio Shack for that adapter.No info yet on durability since it is only two weeks old at this writing.

The product has arrived as promised. This Hard Disk Drive is fast and silent. It's worth its price for its large storage capacity, even though it's not a Tera Byte Size Hard Disk Drive, for a home user such as I, it's more than enough for OS and Storage needs until I could afford to upgrade to a Solid State Drive.

I've already had a Western Digital (500 GB) HDD installed in my PC (well it wasn't the same model but the same brand and capacity)All I can say is the item is very good from a very good company.Now between the 2 Hard drives in my desktop I have 1TB of space.Western Digital is a very good brand and if you were to say go to Staples to buy this Hard drive I doubt you would pay less than $70 for it.The hard drive is fast (for the price) and reliable.Also even if you've never installed a hard drive in your PC before it isn't rocket science and it is well worth it.So i would recommend this to anyone who's running out of space and who's other hard drive is about to croak.Overall I am very satisfied with this product and the price (i paid only $37 i believe) , the price is outstanding!5 years ago this would've cost you $400 or more.Anyway like I said ,if you have ANY doubts about getting this item - DON'T!You will not be disappointed ! ! !

I'm overall happy with this drive. Western Digital drives typically last a long time for me as long as they have decent cooling. I've only used this particular one for a week. As expected, no problems. Am reviewing it now because it'll probably be quiet a few years before it fails. I've a touch of buyers remorse in that the 1TB drives are starting to really drop in price now. I think they're the best bang for buck at the moment. Such is life. At least it's quiet. I'm typing this review on the very quiet office desktop this drive went into. I can hear crickets outside and a computer in a different room, but can't hear this little PC two feet away.

This drive does what it's supposed to, and is MUCH faster than a 5,000 RPM drive. I use it in my MacBook Pro 15" (2007/2008 Pre-Unibody).My only complaint is that it is louder than some drives, making the classic whirring and clicking sounds when performing hard work, and also seems to heat up a bit more easily.I've had it for a few months, and it hasn't acted up yet.UPDATE: After a year, it's still going strong. No complaints!

Bought this for a computer I am rebuilding for my neighbor, comes with just the bare minimums: A Hard Drive. Works as expected with just plugging it into the computer, installed Windows XP Media Center 2005.The hard drive comes with a 3 Year Warranty, I've only had to go though Western Digital's warranty once (Not with this drive), and they were very good about it, very fast turn around time in the event of a drive failure. I've used them from servers, to a regular PC - Never had a single issue with their products.It features very quiet operation on this model, and fast SATA operation. Perfect for a reliable value hard drive, still capable of fast speeds too.The Amazon packaging was perfect, Just break the tape off the box, then peel the anti-static bag top off, remove drive, then install. No need for some box cutter or any other annoying plastics.

Ranked as the mid performance hard drive in the Caviar family (Green, Blue, Black,), this hard drive does a good job providing good value performance and hard disk storage.Simple to install, remains relatively cool, is very dependable, and has fared well when storing music, movies, documents, and gaming files. Thus far, I'm very pleased with the performance. I've been using this for about 7 months now without any hiccups.A solid companion/additional hard disk drive. Personally, I don't mind installing windows on this hard drive. Not the fastest, but definitely dependable and has decent speed and cache.
