Great drive. I got this on sale so it was slightly cheaper than the black drive. It's completely suitable for desktop use...although I don't recommend using it for anything but your main drive (c) because it powers down after about 5 minutes (even with Hard Drive Power set to NEVER) so it can lag...

I got this to be the boot drive in an older windows home server computer I am using at home. I wanted the most reliable drive possible, and the old motherboard doesn't properly support drives over 2TB in size. The problem I had was compatibility.

Quality as was expected

Installed and was recognized immediately.

WD has always been reliable, hopefully these drives will not be an exception; A few more $ than the others, but I purchased these because I wanted reliability; I didn't want to deal with failing drives and potential loss of data

No cons

very happy

works fast; and quality build; 128meg cache

nothing i have seen yet

This is a fast hard drive which is nice & quiet. It does get a tad warm though, so make sure you play the flow from a cooling fan across it and you'll be OK. 128mB of onboard cache memory helps the speed.

Bought two of these to replace old drives which were starting to fail. Used in a home file server that is designed to fully saturate the network bus. Have had consistently fast read/write speeds under various workloads, fast access times and generally great performance.

I'm using this as a removable HD for diaster backup. I keep the drive in our safe in a hardrive storage case waiting for the inevitable PC failure. Solidly built drive, plenty fast for this use and I assume will outlast me and my PC.
