Digital camera reviews of Western Digital WD5000KSRTL/WD5000AAKS Caviar 500 GB SATA Hard Drive
Digital camera Review: A good Hard Drive so far
Summary: 4 Stars
I installed two of these sATA internal drives in my Power Mac G5 about a week ago. Installation was easy and so far they have functioned flawlessly.Digital camera Review: Be careful
Summary: 1 Stars
I have had three of these drives fail in the past six months. Two were on a Mac G5, one was on a Linux system.
On a positive note, Western Digital has a very efficient replacement policy.
If you are still shopping, I would strongly recommend spending a little more and buying an enterprise-class drive. If you have already purchased this drive, you should stop what you doing and back up your data.
Digital camera Review: Better than OEM mac drive
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this hard drive for a MAC PRO to use as a spare or back up drive. After using it this way I came realized the the drive seemed to function faster and quieter than the OEM toshiba drive in the MAC pro which was also a 500GB SATA 300 drive. I made this drive the primary drive and relegated the OEM drive as the secondary. I am so pleased with the speed at which this functions and its silence. I have also used Seagate Baracuda drives of similar specs and find this drive to be the winner among the three I have tried.
This drive is a little more expensive than the Seagate but I think worth the price if you are looking for a break from the usual distraction of hard drive noise.
Digital camera Review: Blazing Fast
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent hard drive. It is blazing fast! You know that Western Digital is a name you can bank on! Get one for yourself.Digital camera Review: Caused the computer to crash
Summary: 1 Stars
The hard drive killed my Dell. Our IT guy figured out that the problem was from the hard drive. We'll need a new hard drive, and hopefully we will be able to revive the Dell, but it is not looking promising.
