Great drive at a great price

ByBobbyCPAon March 3, 2010

Verified Purchase

This drive was easy to install and format and has worked well since I got it about two months ago. Shipping via Amazon was dreadfully slow...took over 3 weeks to get to me. However it did snow a lot during February so I guess it can't be all their fault.

Not quite as fast as an improvement as I was expecting but still very solid drive. Had 148gb of usable space after formatting which seems pretty reasonable.

If you are looking to upgrade from 5400rpm or just increase space this is an excellent hd for the price.

WD Scorpio Black 160GB HDD

ByJames M. Cookon November 16, 2009

Verified Purchase

Works great; easy install. Quieter and faster than factory installed Hitachi in my Dell Inspiron laptop. Good tech support. No documentation shipped with product. Lots of FAQs online at website. Website not as user friendly as I would have liked for my particular install--wanted to copy old hard drive to new. Good for standalone installs/arrays/troubleshooting. Had to seek 3rd party software/technique...

Disappointed!!

ByWayne Milleron February 2, 2010

Verified Purchase

I bought this drive for a Colorspace O casing (that's a whole 'nother set of disappointments) and have not been able to get it to work. I have formatted and reformated and whenever I try to use it in the Hyperdrive gives me is "HDD Access Error". I've had a technician online for the last hour and we have not been able to get the drive to work.

Fast and quiet

ByJohn M. Bissellon November 17, 2009

Verified Purchase

This drive replaced an 80GB Hitachi drive that came with my laptop. The Hitachi was generally quiet but did have occasional noise when seeking. This WD drive has been totally silent. Good price for a decent capacity.

I bought this HDD to replace the 40GB that came with my PS3 and so far so good. Shipped fast for snail mail and well packaged.

Excellent Notebook Upgrade

BySteve E. Pattonon June 16, 2009

I've had my Toshiba Satellite for two years. When the stock internal 80gb drive started having errors, I was in search for a new drive.

This drive replaced the Fujitsu made Toshiba 7200RPM 80GB drive. The biggest comparisons are the 4mb cache on the stock and the 16mb on the 160GB. Western Digital makes some high quality drives, and in a 24 hour stress test, this drive didn't falter once. I was able to install Ubuntu 9.04 in about 15 minutes next to the 25-30 it took the old drive. Excellent price for a double in disk space and probably nearly a doubling in read/write speeds.

One last note, my laptop hase a 3-cell Li-Ion battery. With the original hard drive the batter would last about an hour in normal usage. I'm already getting over an hour and a half. I'm guessing the stock hard drive ate a LOT more power.

One con, but it's normal.. This drive is just a little louder (if you put your ear to the drive bay) then the original. However, if it's on your table or lap, you'll never hear it. :)
