Fast, quiet and stable rsinj My use of these devices is to replace a couple of older units in five aged 80 GB in Windows XP and XP Media Center machines. These devices continue to function well, but the price I had absolutely no reason not to upgrade right now. I came across this half of the last week and Amazon sold it new for $ 29 - "What is wrong with these units," which scratched my head thinking "what's the problem" and certainly, though they were over $ 25, Amazon will charge still for shipping - so I took two to get the device to send down a bit. The old version 3 GB of this unit was sold for over $ 40 - again, scratching their heads over this. Perhaps it was a price error? No matter - it was a good price. The packaging units arrived yesterday all my usual OEM WD six have come in the last nine months. I Clonezilla on the old drive to the new clone, it went smoothly without any problems, I keep the old drive just in case these new problems I did not need to create new drives to the system from the ground up. I know that the motherboard in my machine can not use, the throughput is 6 GB, these drives but definitely faster than what they replace - older WD drives, they show 7200 and 3GB. Specs must specify performance on older drives do not be so different, but it is and for the better. I will not question. Driven you show jumpers 5 and 6, to limit it to 3 Gb, but I did not understand the advantage of doing it, so I can not bridge and that's good. In summary we can say - these drives are fast, quiet, and still performs excellent. I am very happy with them so far. 21 of 23 people found the following review helpful. Blue Drive WD 1T - So far so good. Fred Wampler I bought the Western Digital 1 TB SATA 6.0 0 Gb-s 32 MB Cache OEM WD10EALX 35-inch internal hard naked memory making the Midwest through Amazon. The unit was received within 3 or 4 days and was very well packaged. My Seagate first time in my HP m9550F failed and was replaced by WD. Seagate is the unit that HP sent after a bios disk error was known very well. Internet Information showed that many people lose valuable information because HP is constantly sending the unit to a known problem. Anyway, I got a BIOS update for Seagate, before that, but it did not anyway. WD10EALX unit is quite noisy. I still have to drive out of the box so that they can contribute to the sound level. The noise seems to be the head movement. The turn card is silent. For the price, is a unit that is hard to beat and I am very happy with it. My bios can not take advantage of the transfer speed of 6 Gb / s, but the car is very fast, the same way. I uploaded about 600 GB of data after about three weeks, I presume that it does not fail and put things back together. If this fails, I will update this review. I've noticed some imperfections in NewEgg reported. Not in the long term, but more likely the case. Here's keeping my fingers crossed. (Hangs on the boot disk is a pain). UPDATE: OK. I put the thing back together. The device is not silent, but it is very quiet. I hear faint click as it does its thing. Very nice. No problems with the device completely. Recommended. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. OK but nothing special, unless you compare it to Seagate, it's AWESOME By John is a bare hard drive that came quickly from Amazon and well packaged. I replaced a 500 GB WD Caviar Blue WD5000AAKS WD Caviar Blue WD10EALX this as the primary drive in an HP desktop i7. This player and the old WD drive show essentially identical results CrystalMark, but it does not seem to load programs and Quick Start (I again a picture of the old plant
