WD - Caviar GP 500GB Internal Hard Drive (145 out of 159)
Quality, Quiet Drive
5
Posted by: from NJ on 06/15/2013I bought this to replace a crashed hard drive. I had an image backup which I was able to deploy to the WD Green easily. Once installed, my system booted up just fine. The drive is extremely quiet and performs well overall. There are times I think it runs a bit slowly, but it doesn't impact me that much. Note that this is used for business and not gaming.

Good replacement drive

Posted by: from Treasure Coast, FL on 06/10/2013I put this in an old desktop that only had an 80GB drive, and it was a very simple swap. This was my first HD change, and was not very difficult. The new drive has all the space I will ever need and seems to run quieter and somewhat faster than my old drive.
