2 out of 5 stars Replaced 2 of 4 < 1 year.......2007-12-30

One of two from 22-FEB-07, one of two from 08-MAR-07 orders went bad. WD replaced first with WD5000AAKS, waiting on second. Be sure to register your drives with WD when you get them. One remaining drive (not replacement) making recurrent sound of winding down but no obvious performance problems. Ran WD boot CD diagnostics (short version) on each drive before 2nd drive went bad but nothing showed up.

Western Digital WD5000KSRTL Caviar 500 GB SATA Hard Drive Only one word describes this drive. Excellent. Just plug in and drive is ready. I am using two of these drives in D-Link DNS-323 in RAID 1 configuration.

5 out of 5 stars I'm sold on SATA!!.......2007-12-26

Strange title, I know.

I come from the old days of required jumper settings and IDE cables. It's been years since I touched the inside of a desktop tower so this was a total shock to my system. BTW, it's a Dell Inspiron 530. It already has a 500GB drive, which I've effectively filled up, which was why I bought this drive...to store some of my extra stuff, but also to act as a backup location for my laptop.

Installing the drive was a snap. Dell set this tower up to accommodate this type of drive. Just slide it into the HDD1 bay, use the WD SATA cable into one of the slots on the motherboard - just like HDMI, actually - and then give it power. Its assignment showed up in the BIOS right away. That's the hardware side. I left the jumper off (Default), and it's perfoming fine.

Next, the software side. Vista Premium picked up the drivers right away and got them installed. Next, Disk Management, initialized the disk, then set up the simple partition. Total install time was about 15 minutes, give or take a few minutes.

As a side note, if you have a home network and you're not performing scheduled backups of your primary computer's data, you need to start, and this drive is a great way to get this done.

5 out of 5 stars quiet and fast.......2007-11-25

This drive is very quiet, and very fast. I am using it in SATA 150 mode since my motherboard doesn't support 300 speed. So I can't comment on how much faster it would be.

5 out of 5 stars This harddrive is awesome!.......2007-11-07

I purchased this harddrive in order to have more space for my music and pictures. it is very quiet and also very fast. I use it as my new C drive now and I did not expect just a fast harddrive to accelarate my system this much. Booting and picture browsing so much faster now - even though I copied the files from my old C drive 1:1. It also comes with a SATA cable. I can highly recommend this product.
