Nice And Works Great as Described

Nice product, using this know for few months and don't have any problem at all.
meets all the needs i want from this Drive.
i am a Gamer, Before using the WD Green 1TB & i can tell this drive makes night and day difference in loading speed of the game.

Pros :
1) Great Speed for a Hard Disk.
2) Nice Capacity.
3) Using for Few Months Never got a Problem. (In Sort, Very Stable)
4) Boost in boot up time of windows 7 & 8.
5) Loads Games Much Faster.

Pros :
1) Little More Power Hungry then WD Gre...

A mixed Bag of Feelings...

If you google around this HDD is pretty much recomended, and tops the charts but since this comes to your house and travelling via courier you might end up getting a defective batch HDD or just plain old luck.
These days all HDD on the market are sub standard comparing to the old days....

My scenario- 1st Hdd received was full of bad sectors and defect from the day 1, had that refunded I ordered again after 2 days when it came back.
Got a new HDD of the october batch and it works out well....

Good drive good warranty.

I originally wanted the Black RE Drive for our office servers. But found them to be priced very high, lower warranty and also NOT AVAILABLE (why?) on this site. Only on the other "not-so-reliable sites"... where I would NOT buy from.

So went for this model. Nice - good performance - but still, is a DeskTop Drive. I wanted the server ones. Bought 2 pieces and they're fine.

Nice risk less upgrade

A good product from the trusty WD. Very fast and responsive. Only item i wish they could add is a sata 6Gbps cable and few screws along with the product. This would be a nice gesture for a person receiving the same.

Hard disk = DOA

Flipkart service and packaging = 5/5.

Hard disk was dead on arrival. These have a failure rate of around 20%, so just bad luck.

I have a SATA 2, 3 gbps motherboard, the hard disk was detected with no problems at all. During system image restore, some sectors could not be written too. WD Diagnostic Extended test failed. Now waiting for WD RMA process to start.

The model number for the hard disk I got is - WD1002FAEX-00Y9A0. These have no jumper settings for SATA 3.0 Gbps.

Edit: Excellent ...

Awesome

Bought this for using along with external hard drive case. Clubbing it to Cubetek box gives me enough storage for storing and watching my favourite movies and videos on a LED TV.

The Lord of Hard Drives

Western Digital is always proved to be the one which provides extremely rugged products and this hard drive is on top of them. I am using couple of them from more than a year and not having ANY problem of ANY kind regardless of careless and extreme usage. Just buy it and experience this beast.

Good drive

Earlier my Seagate drive failed in just 17 months and I decided to switch over to this drive which carries 5 years warranty.
A bit costlier but good drive. Fast speed and silent.
