Digital camera reviews of Western Digital 320GB Scorpio Blue SATAII 5400RPM 2.5IN 8MB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive WD3200BEVT
Digital camera Review: Buy it now!
Summary: 5 Stars
As others here, I upgraded my PS3 with this excellent drive. Couldn't have been easier to install. Before I upgraded, I backed up the old drive, slapped this baby in and restored. Now everything is exactly how it was except I have tons of space left to load HD videos taken with my Sony HD VideoCam. I don't even need a Blu-Ray burner. I just view my videos directly from the PS3 hard drive. Highly recommended for PS3 owners!Digital camera Review: Cheap and good product!
Summary: 4 Stars
I wasnt the one who installed it so i dont know about the ease of installation but my package arrived way ahead of the estimation date. Im using it in my compaq presario laptop everything seem fine. the minor problem is when i insert DVD in my DVD-ROM to install stuff it makes a loud noise. i dont know if thats cause by this hard drive or not but im pretty sure it wasnt as loud when i was using the original one.Digital camera Review: Compatibility issues
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this to upgrade my existing laptop, which had a much smaller drive. My laptop has a SATA interface and, after doing what I thought was enough research, bought this drive thinking it would just drop in.
Unfortunately, the physical connection on this drive is different from the drive I am replacing so I'm unable to use it, which is unfortunate because I opened it before figuring this out. It was my understanding that a SATA II drive would be backward compatible with a SATA interface, but I guess not.
My existing drive is a Toshiba MK2552GSX. Would be nice if someone had any advice because I'm coming up with nothing, and don't want to buy another drive only to have the same problem.
Digital camera Review: Dead on arrival - or maybe not?
Summary: 1 Stars
The drive has a good reputation, but mine was dead on arrival. It spun up, but could not be written to.
I tried again with another of the same model. Things looked better initially, quick format worked fine... I set it up as my laptop's boot disk and thought I was set.
I decided to give it a good test, and tried to up fill the disk. After a certain point the disk started clicking like mad, the laptop hung and then bluescreened. I took the disk out and tried a full format on it. At 77% complete, the disk clicks like mad and format can't make progress.
Very, very disappointing. This goes back and I'm in the market for some other manufacturer's product.
Digital camera Review: Died after 1 year and 5 months
Summary: 2 Stars
The hard-drive itself worked well and was fast enough for me Lenovo and not too loud. However i excepted a longer life than only 1 and a half years. Since the laptop is 17" i did not really move the laptop around too much, so there was not much chance to damage the drive. However, it still died fairly quickly.
