This review is from: Western Digital WD5000ABYS 500GB Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
When i decided to get a new version of Windows Vista i knew that i would need more hard drive space than my current drive had so i got this one.I use this Internal hard drive as my primary C dive and installed Vista Home Premium onto it,everything went smoothly.I like this drive a lot because it works without being noisy or over heating.Even when the drive is doing hard work it stays pretty quiet.This thing is fast,quiet and reliable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to beat, April 27, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
To date, after a month or so's useage, I haven't a hint of a problem. The drives worked right, and continue to work right, and I have confidence they will continue to work right. Good products at decent price.

Only slight quibble: I originally bought these drives to use in conjunction with a Cooldrives caddyless drive, but found that their tiny difference in thickness caused them to be unuseable in that drive, as they become stuck and require some fancy juggling to remove. I substituted a Thermaltake Docking Station for the Cooldrive, and things are now going like clockwork.

This review is from: Western Digital WD5000ABYS 500GB Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
I have two of these drives set to mirror each other in my RAID Array. They are quick and seem reliable. They are a bit noisy during read/write, but sitting idle is hardly noticeable.
