linutic from MN Member Since: Jun 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 3 Months	The Best Strengths: Fast, Quiet, reliable so far. Weaknesses: None Summary: I have two of these in a RAID 1 configuration. They have run flawlessly, and are extremely fast. According to WD, this is the same basic drive mechanism as their RE3 enterprise drives, but without the vibration resistance or testing. I also have RE3's in my server, and these drives appear identical. I own 20+ drives, and I so far have had no failures or SMART drive faults on any of the 7200 RPM WD 500G --> 1 TB drives. I haven't tried the 5400 RPM GP drives. 100% of People (6/6) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

N/A Member Since: Product Experience: 13 Weeks	black caviar Strengths: Works fine on video editing Weaknesses: None so far Summary: I bought three of these for my use and three Seagates for Christmas presents. Mine still work. The others don't. Seagate seems to be in the dumpster. They don't care or do not have the money to care. 67% of People (4/6) found this review helpful.

N/A Member Since: Product Experience: 25 Days	BUY SEAGATE Strengths: NONE I SEE Weaknesses: DIED IN THREE WEEKS Summary: I had this drive about three weeks on a brand new system.. I just got done loading two weeks of OS and other programs and getting it the way I wanted.. I just moved today 300 gigs of data off five hard drives 5-7 years old and did a virus scan and noticed system froze I rebooted and cant see drive on and off and win xp never finished a boot, I load this drive into old system and that one also cant see drive at all.. I also had a six month old WD SE16 die three months ago and had $300 locked up on may debit card for a drive I paid $79 and had a used drive sent in return.. WD must love when UPS loses the box and they more than triple there profits.. Buy anything but Westen Digital 13% of People (4/30) found this review helpful.
