Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Western Digital WD5000KSRTL/WD5000AAKS Caviar 500 GB SATA Hard Drive
Customer Review: Quiet, Inexpensive
Summary: 5 Stars
I replaced my old drive with this and it is sooo much quieter. It is just the drive so you'll need the SATA cable. It runs very well so far. As far as temperature, it runs around 39 C which is several degrees cooler than my old one in the same spot in the case. Its quite a value for that price.Customer Review: disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought 2 of these drives to set up a RAID1 array (mirror) and one of them continuously has errors, causing the array to be degraded. I called tech support and they said these drives do not support RAID. Big let down, I have to go for the server version which will end up costing much more.Customer Review: Stops working as soon as warranty is over.
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this in July 07 when it had only a year warranty on them, They change to a three year in Aug 07. Mine died at christmas so there is no warranty. Only is I had know I would of waited another month for the extra 2 years. Must be why I got a great price on this paper weight back then.Customer Review: Will never buy WD again
Summary: 1 Stars
Paid $116 for this hard drive in March of 2008. August of 2009 it is dead in the water. This is the third WD hard drive that has failed in under 2 years. WD would not replace under warranty. My other hardware checks out fine. Definitely a HD failure. So long WD!Customer Review: Hard drive replacement
Summary: 5 Stars
The western digital drive is working good. my first large drive was a WD, it was 8gb, lasted forever so I usually trust this one at least for as long as any drive, but they are sideways so that hurts it, but not the drives fault, that's the set up Dell does.
