Product Description

 
These reliable drives are lightning fast, but they still deliver technologically advanced acoustics and cool operation. The one-two performance punch of 300 MB/s transfer rate, state-of-the-art performance for SATA drives, and 16 MB cache make the WD Caviar SE16 family the fastest desktop-class hard drives available. These SATA II drives feature a transfer rate three times faster than EIDE and twice as fast as SATA 1. Cool operation means the highest reliability even in high-heat environments such as personal video recorders. That's why these drives, the coolest on the market, are the drive of choice for the world's leading consumer electronics manufacturers as well as the world's leading PC makers.

Fast SATA II drive is a very good value

Date of Review:  Dec 5, 2006
The Bottom Line: Fast and quiet drive with good performance. A good value if you get one on sale. Not the best drive available but a good balance of price and quality
Review: I bought this 250 GB Western Digital Caviar drive for a scant $49 a CompUSA when they had a $90 rebate on it. Watch out for their weekend deals which start on Sunday mornings, they often feature a good price on a hard drive.

It is not the drive - it is the service after that counts!

Date of Review:  Oct 13, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you want to be on bleeding edge - give it a shot, otherwise stick with something that works.
Review: The final update 11/4 - Western Digital second line tech support told me that the problem with the second drive was my use of Western Digital's Data Lifegard - it messes up MBR for good. I was told to use Western Digital's Diag to write zeroes to...
