Digital camera reviews of Western Digital WD5000KSRTL/WD5000AAKS Caviar 500 GB SATA Hard Drive
Digital camera Review: Had to replace it after 1 years and 6 months
Summary: 1 Stars
Hard drive is crap, it only comes with a 1 year warranty and this piece of ... started acting up after 1 year and 6 months. In a nutshell, it has some bad sectors and it won't boot if it's hot. Got to wait a while for it to cool off and before I can boot from it again. Guessing it's just a matter of time before it goes out completely.
Note, my system boots fine from other hard drives...

Very happy with this Western Digital hard drive. It was very easy to install. It has more space than I will ever need. Would recommend it!

It works great so far...
Digital camera Review: Hard drive replacement
Summary: 5 Stars
The western digital drive is working good. my first large drive was a WD, it was 8gb, lasted forever so I usually trust this one at least for as long as any drive, but they are sideways so that hurts it, but not the drives fault, that's the set up Dell does.Digital camera Review: I hate Western Digital! Bought 2 drives - 4months ltr one dead!
Summary: 1 Stars
I built my 'super computer' a year ago with two of these drives. I have used Maxtor drives for the past 20 years with NO problems. I decided to try WD because of the price and recommendations. Built my desktop beast with screaming Intel Dual Core plus 4GB ram (a lot at the time), 500 Meg Video, two 500gb WD drives. Everything was fine until only 4 months ... my main drive began clicking. Boot would see the drive but windows XP did not! I was mortified!!!!! I tried everything but could no longer access the drive!!!! So my success rate with Western Drives is 50% which is horrible!
My success rate with Maxtor drives (I have owned over ten) is 100%. This does not speak well for WD.
I tried to get support for this drive and couldn't get any. They said I could get my money back. I WANTED MY DATA
