  1. Stephanie K.

    Pros: Installed quickly in laptop, imaged with the saved drive image from the original hard drive, running again in no time. Faster than the stock hard drive. Cons: None. Overall Review: I always purchase WD drives, usually the Black series because they are fast and reliable. If this laptop had a second drive bay, I might have also added an SSD drive for booting and programs, but large enough ones for a single drive bay are just too expensive. I always purchase my hard drives from NewEgg,…

    Pros: 500GB, 7200rpm, 5 Year Awarranty, Quiet, Very Well Packaged Cons: Not really a con but only 16mb Cache- knew this when I purchased it. The 3.5″ 500GB Black has 64MB cache. Overall Review: Bought this to upgrade the stock hard drive in a Lenovo 3000N500 4233 Laptop, purchased back in Feb 2009 from Newegg. The stock drive was 160GB WD blue that had performed well over the years but was getting full and slow. The new 500GB drive is deffinently a major improvement over the 160GB drive. The…

    Pros: Just wanted to write this quick review to confirm that this exact drive works with Xbox 360. (Search the internet for “Hddhackr xbox 360”) I have the older model Xbox 360 and had a slow 20gb drive. (the larger grey drives, not newer black drives.) I connected the drive to my desktop, followed the instructions listed if you search the aforementioned criteria, flashed the proper bin file, and disassembled my original 20GB Xbox hard drive and swapped this one with the original drive. The…

    Pros: We have a handful of these drives. When they get past the first hour they work great and seem to be lasting. Cons: About 40% are DOA for whatever reason. Problem is we were keeping these as spares and they didn’t get tested when they arrived. What a surprise when you put a brand new drive in a machine and all you hear is the disk grinding. Overall Review: Be sure to test these when they arrive.

    Pros: These have been a great drive (see previous review) Cons: Out of the last 12 or so of these 5 have been DOA. Be sure to test them as soon as they arrive. NewEgg must have received a bad batch. Overall Review: The ones that arrive and work continue to run great.

  6. Greg V.

    Pros: Purchased this as a replacement HDD in my laptop. WD black drives are the best! Overall performance increase compared the older 5400RPM drive that was failing. Made a one to one clone of the drive using a utility and was back up and running in a matter of minutes. One of the best things about this drive is the 5 year limited warranty on it. If it fails in that timeframe WD will replace it. I have replaced drives through them before and it is a painless process. Just make sure you…

    Pros: Bare drive, but it was wrapped in some good quality bubble(for a change) seems to have been a change of direction in shipping, and without doubt for the better.. Good value(on sale)-great warranty No problems whatsoever Cons: wasn’t a 2tb 10k drive….:-( Overall Review: WD service for me has been stellar. Problems I had with my gaming rig drive were quickly addressed and excellent service provided, which means WD has won my business for now.
