Great Value So Far

Bought two drives to replace the aging 75MB WD Raptor RAID 0 drives in my 9 year old Dell desktop. The new drives installed easily and have performed well for the last month. It's no great surprise that the new, 3+ times bigger drives, are a bit slower (subjectively) than the old ones.

WD 250GB Hard Drive

WD harddrives are a mid range drives. As a IT guy, I work with them all the time. This drive is good for the price.

47 days later, not working

Out the box it was great on a new build. Then for some unknown reason I started experiencing boot issues into Vista. Safe mode didn't work, system restore didn't work. Re-install of OS didn't work. I had to pull out an old drive and install windows and run diagnostic to find that there were issues. WD drives are the only HDD's that I've ever experienced failure. I've had a Maxtor drive for 12 years that runs from a USB now. Still kicking.

Good Drive

I have always use WD drives. I found they are reliable. These blue drives are not as fast as the black drives but work excellent for a server. So far they are performing perfect.

Impressed

Installed a week ago and it running just fine. It is very quiet and so far problem free. Would not hesitate buy another one as needed. Had Seagate drives that failed one after another.
