Solid Preformer
I purchased 2 of these recently. One to replace a Seagate 750 that died. The second one is a spare just in case I need it I have it. WD drives have always preformed for me no noise that I notice. My computer is always running. Bob

Western Digital - Always Dependable !
Been running this for 6 months so far. No problems installing, BIOS recognized easily. Bought this to replace 6yr old WD drive. Was surprised it died, I have a few WD hard drive in service for more than 10yrs with no problems. Will only buy WD Hard Disk Drives. Always quite, NO platter chatter!

I have less problems with WD drives
I use to avoid Western Digital in the 90s and went with Maxtor and Segate. but I had a lot of Seagate drive perform poorly after 3-4 years of use especially in DVR's. So I switched to WD and had very good results. This drive is no exception it has performed well.
