4.0 out of 5 stars WD2500KS - A decent all-around drive, April 16, 2007
By 
This review is from: Western Digital Caviar 250GB SATA Hard Drive 16 MB Cache ( WD2500KS ) (Personal Computers)
This is a decently fast drive that runs a bit warm with little spindle (motor) noise.

It is NOT "whisper quiet" as it has plenty of audible seek noise when accessing the drive. Unlike some other brands, there is no Acoustic Level Adjustment software available to reduce seek noise. This is really only a concern for Silent PC enthusiasts, as most PCs cooling fans will drown out the seek noise.

Curiously, the similar WD3200KS is much quieter. Or at least my particular one is.

4.0 out of 5 stars It could have lived a little longer, June 3, 2009
By 
Internet User (East Coast, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Western Digital Caviar 250GB SATA Hard Drive 16 MB Cache ( WD2500KS ) (Personal Computers)
The most important quality in a hard drive to me is that it lives a very long time.

The lifespan of this drive (spent in a file server, running non-stop with maybe 2 or 3 cold reboots) was from February 2006 to June 2009, or about 40 months.

My complaint about this drive is that it didn't last as long as I would have liked it to, though I acknowledge the possibility that this case is a fluke.
