Failed quickly (2010-01-26)
I bought a WD5000AAJS drive which was packaged together with a Fujitsu housing. The drive was manufactured in October 2007, bought in December 2007 and failed in January 2010 after two years of occasional, light use. What was most noticeable about the drive was how hot it ran. It was borderline uncomfortable to touch the housing after the drive had been running for some time. I would not buy this drive again.
expensive brick (2009-04-15)
I bought this drive for my first PC build, it installed easy, and my BIOS picked it up, but it could not be written to. Tried numerous ideas incuding a BIOS flash. I could not even load the software off the WD site that usually comes with a retail copy. The thing would just not work. Sent it back and got a 1TB Caviar Black instead.
Great Drive But Didn't Fix my Problem (2009-03-23)
I had a drive that went bad and was hoping I could buy the exact same model number and swap the control board on it to access the data on the bad drive. Needless to say it didn't work. However this is a good drive and will most likely use it in my system at a future date. Shipping was also very quick and got it before the estimated date.
So far so good... (2009-02-03)
I got the OEM version of this hard drive and that means no box, no cables, no nothing except the hard drive. So beware. I know what I'm doing but maybe there are others out there that don't. Anyway, so far it is still running, seems fine, no problems, etc. Very fast shipping (paid for snail mail and it arrived in like three days).
WD 500 GIG DRIVE (2009-01-14)
This is a great hard drive. I've had no problems
and don't anticipate any in the future. I've owned several WD drive's since the 90's and will continue to use these great drives!!!
