Western Digital is the only company combining an enterprise-class mechanical platform with the SATA interface to meet all the demands of the enterprise environment - reliability, performance, and reduced cost.

DON'T BUY SEAGATES made in China

byglenn_welt Oct 19, 2008
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very low price for a 250GB SATA 2 drive. Excellent read/write speed WHEN IT WORKS.
Cons Unreliable. I may never buy another component made in China. Read why in review body.
Recommended it? No

Having built and serviced PCs for 24 years, I've used hard drives with Hitachi, IBM, Maxtor, Samsung, Seagate and Western Digital labels on them.

Although I still feel that an old IBM Deskstar SCSI is the fastest seek/read hard drive I've ever used in a desktop computer, I recently had a... Read full review »

The Barracuda has been around this long for a reason

Pros Fairly Durable; Quiet; Slow to heat up; Speedy; Generous manufacturer's warranty
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

Seagate's Barracuda line represents some of the best hard drives I've ever used. This particular one was no exception. I owned and used one in an external enclosure as a backup drive for three or four years before it met its untimely end, surviving bumps, rude methods of transportation, warm... Read full review »

Pros Fast, cool, and high quality.
Cons Little bit noisy.
Recommended it? Yes

First of all, thanks to another reviewer's information, I realized that I have Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1500HLFS 150GB 10000 RPM hard drive, a newer model than the one listed here. So this review is for the model I have.

Very impressive speed. The nearly 40% increase in RPM over the... Read full review »

WD VelociRaptor 150GB - The last great mechanical hard drive

byKAR120C Jun 5, 2010
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Super fast performance for a mechanical drive. Quiet and reliable.
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

It is 2010 and mechanical hard drives are soon to be displaced by solid state drives (SSD’s) which offer superior performance. At this time, there is still one problem to be overcome by solid state drives; price per gigabyte. Solid state drives are still 2 to 3 times the... Read full review »
