Digital camera reviews of Western Digital 1 TB Caviar Green SATA II 64 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive WD10EARS

Digital camera Review: 1TB of WD 3 Stars

This is my 3rd 1 TB WD drive. The first one I purchased flaked out on me a couple months with an interface issue. I RMAed it and got a replacement from WD in about a week. That one is residing in my media player. So far so good.
This one I purchased to replaced my 80 gig Seagate that (10 years old) that finally gave up. Performance is GREAT. The SATA II makes a big difference. This model has the new larger block size filing system. So if you run Windows XP you need to use WD's a utility called ALIGN to convert the block size back to something Win XP can use.
I primarily use Linux and it's EXT 3 and 4 file systems work 100% (and are FAST). Windows Vista and 7 are fine with the new block size also.

For those who are sill stuck with 100 GB, or 250 GB drives and you really would like to explore media creation or just have the capacity to back up a lot of data, look into TB drive sizes. You will be constantly amazed how much data you pack on them and seem to hardly scratch the surface of it total capacity.

Based on WD's exclusive GreenPower? technology, these drives are designed to deliver power savings as the primary attribute.
