Western Digital 250 GB Caviar Blue SATA 7200 RPM 8 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive WD2500AAJS [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] Review

Brand : Western Digital

It was easy to format and install Ubuntu 9.10 on this drive. It's very fast and quiet. Picasa imported 49,000 photos at top speed. It's currently storing 60 GiB with no errors.

The drive was healthy with no bad sectors. It passed the extended self test. All SMART data was in the green.

Packaging was a simple cardboard box, but it had folded cardboard spacers to center and hold the drive half an inch from the top and bottom, 1 inch from the sides, and 1.5 inches from the front and back. Amazon shipped it in a larger box with an air cushion. The drive had a well sealed anti static bag.

I'm very happy with the product. It made a good first impression. I'm using Ubuntu's file encryption and everything still feels fast. It's working well with a first generation SATA motherboard. I didn't need to add any jumper. It appears to fly along at top system speed.

Western Digital 250 GB Desktop Hard Drive - Just ME - Bridgton, ME, USA
Hard drive went in daughter's computer, this one worked perfectly as a replacement. We had someone put it in, but watched & it was so simple we could have done it ourselves. Got her computer up & running in no time!




Good Hard drive - Shyan Lawrence -
Got this hard drive for a friend. So far there has been no problems with this drive. It installed easily, windows vista recognized it quickly and basically I got what I'd paid for.




Exchanged... - Tommy Mullan -
This drive became corrupt while installing an OS on it. It basically died before I could even utilize it. Exchanged it for a new one and so far it's been working flawlessly. Installed Windows 7 on it and have been using this drive exclusively for over a week now with no problems whatsoever. I will edit this review if it ever dies again...
