Digital camera reviews of Western Digital WD3200KSRTL Caviar 320 GB SATA 3.5-Inch Hard Drive
Digital camera Review: No Problems, Fast Drive
Summary: 5 Stars
Drive arrived quickly, as usual, and I have had no problems. I have pretty much had this system drive running 24/7 since I received it about a month ago, and have not experienced a single hiccup or problem.
I use it as my single system drive in my new home-built. Drive is fast, quiet and trouble free.
Digital camera Review: Not as advertised
Summary: 3 Stars
It really is just a bare drive in a box. There was no cable included or driver disk. I would have been better off just buying an OEM driver from another online vendor, and saved money doing so.Digital camera Review: Painless installation, + flawless operation right out of the box...
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm no IT expert, though I've certainly had a few computers open over the years. I wasn't looking forward to changing a storage drive that was failing, but had no choice. After receiving the WD Caviar SATA drive, I had it installed and in use within a half hour, migrating files and storing new ones. There hasn't been a single hiccup and the drive operates flawlessly.
This would be an excellent choice for a primary or replacement drive, and the deal couldn't be beat from JR Computers in New York. Fast shipping.
Digital camera Review: Premature and Sudden Death
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very happy with the drive's ease of installation and the performance was great. Right up until the time it died. It threw a couple of "disk needs to be checked" alerts from Windows startup, and I took that as my cue to purchase a new drive and did. My system wouldn't boot again to do the replacement and cloning. 16 months from happy camper to totally dead. I will not purchase another Western Digital Caviar drive.Digital camera Review: Read the instructions!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't want to tell you how much time I wasted assuming that WD couldn't be correct in their claim that it was a breeze to migrate your old Windows to this new drive.
My drive came with a CD containing Western Digital Data Lifeguard Tools. I just knew that it couldn't be that easy so I went to the net and concocted a witches brew of steps to clone my old Maxtor. It didn't work so I tweaked the recipe and tried again, several times. So, when all else fails, read the directions. I finally did, several times, it sounded so easy I thought I must have missed something. So finally I spent a few minutes loading the software, a minute or two of clicking through easy software, and 3 1/2 hours of waiting for this process to fail too. EUREKA it worked! Damn, I'm smart!
I'm writing this from my brand new shiny WD Caviar Blue running my trusty old Windows XP,
