WD Caviar 250 GB Internal Hard Drive - 1 PackStrengths: reliability, 3yr warranty, fast delivery of replacement drives Weakness: no complaints I bought about 20 of these to run it in Promise 15000 external RAID chassis. In RAID, these drives run without rest, so they tend to have shorter life than normal use. I went with WD, after buying 30 Maxtors 7Y250P0 and having 10 of them being bad from the start. Two were bad from the start and 1 died about 4 month into it. Much better results with WD than Maxtors. If you have any problems with...

WD Caviar 250 GB Internal Hard Drive - 1 PackStrengths: Speed,Reliabilty,Support. Weakness: None I would buy this drive again because of it's Speed, Reliability, Support, Overall nice drive bought 6 of them and none of them failed,would buy again. WD is greatly known for it's reliability and support and longevity. IBM Storage AKA HGST(Hitachi Global Storage Techologies),is not so recommended,bought about 3 60GXP hard drives 3 years ago and all of them failed :(. Thanks.

Still happy with this hard drive but software didn't...Strengths: Large capacity, quiet, fast Weakness: It seems that I have to defrag this drive more often than my past drive to maintain its fast speed. Perhaps that is because I'm editing video? I am not really sure. I do not have SATA capability in my CPU and I heard that although adaptors will allow you to use SATA drives they will not provide the speed that SATA promises - so I went with this BARGAIN!!! Drive was $129 after rebate at Circuit City. This was a savings of at least $30 compared to most well priced websites. Sadly saw it for only $89 at the same store on Black Friday...oh,well! One year...

Western Digital Doesn't DissapointStrengths: large capacity, 7200RPM, 8MB cache, 3 year warranty and price Weakness: Technically, the drive is only 232GB I've been using this drive for three years now and have been pleased with the experience I have had with this drive. It's a worthwhile upgrade if you are looking to increase the capacity of your PC and speed it up if you only have a 5400RPM drive without spending a lot of money.

WD Caviar 250 GB Internal Hard Drive - 1 PackStrengths: Big capacity, reliable Weakness: None! The cost per gigabyte ratio of this drive is excellent. Relatively silent inside my 400SC case. I've managed to bang it a couple times (didn't screw it in my case) and it still performs flawlessly. Built like a rock!

WD Caviar 250 GB Internal Hard Drive - 1 PackStrengths: Capacity, Speed. Weakness: None Yet. I've owned WD drives in the past and have found them to be reliable. This drive has performed superb and I am hoping will be reliable as previous WD drives have been. Western Digital support has been responsive in the past when needed and their web site is navigatable and the information and tech support provided is up to date. With the price of storage today, I believe this hard drive is among...

WD Caviar 250 GB Internal Hard Drive - 1 PackStrengths: Fit my bay, once I figured out I needed to get software from the web all went well with installing. Weakness: No software included-- not really a weakness but at first I assumed drive would self-install which it did partially (XP Knew it was there) but I needed software to make it visible in "My Computer". Fast delivery, excellent capacity and easy to install. Just be sure to get the installation software off the web! The drive is humming along and I have lots of space to back up all my files.

WD Caviar 250 GB Internal Hard Drive - 1 PackStrengths: Fair pricing, 7200rpm, 8mb cache, and a lot of storage. Weakness: 1 year warranty instead of 3 years. The hard drive is really great over all, except for the fact that the warranty is only 1 year. To extend the warranty to 3 years, a fee of $15 is required. Personally, I wouldn't have bought this hard drive if I was not in immediate need of a cheap solution for 250gb. I would have waited for a deal on the SATA version that come with 3 years warranty and a 150 bus (where this is only 100). The...

WD Caviar 250 GB Internal Hard Drive - 1 PackStrengths: Quiet, low temperture Weakness: none I bought 3 WD 250G , one for myself and the other for my sisters. Compare to the other hard drive I have, it is very quiet. Better than hitachi and maxtor. However, the negative for this drive is it only comes with 1 year warranty. Some Hitachi hard drives now comes with 3 years warranty. For sure you can also add 3 year warranty on WD's website for additional $15.

Decision at 250 GB: Maxtor MaXLine Plus II vs. Western Digital WD2500JB
With the WD2500, there is even an extra goodie thrown in: the retail version is bundled with the corresponding Ultra ATA/100 controller from Promise . This allows those who own older systems to use these large drives as well, because the Promise controller has its own BIOS with support for 48-bit addressing, as well as drivers for all versions of Windows.

Western Digital is a much better product
Strengths: My drive went in and loaded easily
Weakness: None
I use my hard drives in pairs, this go round was Maxtor and had nothing but grief! If it wouldn't load, Windows didn't like it, and on and on. Then there was Tech Support who assumes everyone is an idiot and their product is perfect. When ever I use WD, I have nothing but good luck, and have since stopped looking for the cheapest HD drive to use. I am sticking with WD
