Strengths: It's fast.
Weakness: Totally unreliable. Failed after 4 months.
This is my second drive. The first one failed after 1 year. The second after 4 months. Getting RMA from the website was simply. I only use the advance placement option. I've never had good experiences with repair option from any company due to the long wait of repair/replacement. I recommend to stay away from this drive. The cost of lost data and time is not worth it. I owned and have own many WD...
Strengths: Very fast and cheap.
Weakness: Very noisy after using for 1 year.
I have had this disk for more than 1 year. At the very beginning, the drive was very quiet. However, it is very noisy and sometimes fails to enter the operating system. I checked the S.M.A.R.T info and it said spin up time error and seek time error. Sometimes it just breaks down all my work and stops responding.
Strengths: fast
Weakness: breaks
I had two of these drives die in two months. Do not buy this drive unless you buy two... maybe three, so that WHEN they die, you have your data backed up. Hope they dont all die at the same time.
Strengths: None
Weakness: everything
Bought drive 6 month ago, makes a clicky noise and locks whole system, never experience this with my maxtor drives I have own in the past, and if you did not know WD changed their policy now if your over 90 days of purchase they wont provide tech support, unless you pay them. Which I did not realize when I bought drive. Dont buy this drive from the other reviews it looks like I am not the only...
Strengths: none
Weakness: Two separate drives died on me. Very unreliable
I would not recommend purchasing any drive by western digital unless you are only interested in keeping your data for a couple of months until the drive dies on you too!!!
Strengths: Quiet, fast, cheap, 3 year warranty
Weakness: Has problems working in conjuction with other drives running a slaves. No Disk (you need to download software from online before you install)
Sound is quieter than you CPU fan. There was a speed improvement over my maxtor 40 gig, feels like 20%, I beleive this is the best product for the price. Just shop around for the best $ deal. I was initialy woried about reliability, it is estimated that 1 in 10 of these HD's fail soon after purchase or arrive DOA. This is certainly no worse than any other manufacturer. Quality for the budget...
Strengths: SUPER QUIET, REALLY FAST, ZERO-VIBRATION, 8MB Cache, 7200RPM, Lots of space, The Best Hard Drive
Weakness: I have hated Western Digital Drives ever since, cause I owned 3 WD Caviars (2GB, 4GB, and 6GB) they all failed on me.
I just gave this drive a try, cause I have been hearing very excellent reviews about it. Bought it for $172 at www.essencompu.com, and, geeeeez this is the best drive I have ever owned. Before this, I bought 2 Maxtor 6L080L4, and they were noisy, even having the FDB motors, but the WD1200JB drive is sooo quiet, i cannot hear it working actually. That's what I expected from my maxtors, but they're...
Strengths: very fast, very quiet
Weakness: nothing so far
I love this drive. I am a previous Maxtor user but now I think I'll stick with WD. I hate noise and this drive is whisper quiet. I highly recommend this drive.
Strengths: SUPER FAST. SUPER QUIET. SUPRE BIG.
Weakness: none.
This drive is "GOD". I have had 2 of those in my own computer for over 3 months. This drive is definitely superb to Maxtor drives. I myself have been sticking to Maxtor over the years and I had to use their warranty twice (once to replace an old 6G drive, and the second time to replace the 80GB ATA 133 7200RPM drive). So I gave WD a try this time. First of all, 8MB Cache DOES make a whole lot...

WD Caviar 120 GB Internal Hard Drive - 1 Pack - OEM
Strengths: Has great storage capacity
Weakness: Noisiest drive I have ever had. This is the second Caviar drive I have owned, and by far the worst. Also confusing and conflicting documentation out of the box regarding jumper settings etc.
This was the second of 2 Caviar drives. I have not been impressed with either. They are noisy and cantancerous, and frequently lock up. Western Digital has yet to pay the rebates on both drives, so don't use the rebate as a reason to purchase this drive.
