Product ReviewsWestern Digital Caviar Blue 250GB Internal 7200RPM 3.5" (WD2500AAKX) HDD

Quiet, fast, reliable, and robust.

While this hard drive is only 250GB it offers 6Gbit/s speed and it is made by an extremely reliable company (Western Digital). I have personally used these drives for years on end and I've never had a problem with them. The drives themself have a mechanism that when the power to the drive is lost, the head will automatically disengage, preventing damage to your data and to the drive and preventing data corruption in the event of a power failure. You can expect prolonged lifespan with these drives. Also, this drive is quite quiet. A typical laptop keyboard is much louder than this drive's read/write activity.Read full review...

These used items are still in good working order, although S.M.A.R.T. reports they have a lot of mileage on them.

Used drives are often a crap shoot. Sometimes they have a lot of good life in them, and sometimes not.

I've only had these used Seagate drives for a few weeks, so it's too soon to say how much service I can expect from them before they come to their inevitable end of useful life.Read full review...

New and fast

Nice new hard drive. It works good. I just installed it in a system build. Not sure about how reliable it is, there's no other choice but I'm sure it will last like any normal hard drive.

Wester Digital Hard Drive

WD has always been a decent HD and this one does the job I need. The key factors are SATA III and 7200RPM - about as fast as it gets with mechanical hard drives.

Great Drive. Brand New.

Used in a Phenom II x6 with 8gb ram and a 7870xt. Using as a boot drive with limited space for some games on a budget HTPC. Perfect drive. 134.4mbs read / 132.2mbs write. Excellent drive.

Nice drive, good price.

Really feel like I got a good deal with this drive, the price was very reasonable for such a drive in my humble opinion, is very quiet and smooth. The speed as well as it being 6GB/S along with the price, I definitely would purchase again.Read full review...

The price was good and it runs very well.

This was a very good purchase. I am using it as a backup drive for a computer hard drive. I put it into a portable case I purchase from E-bay and gave it to my daughter so she and her husband can put all their family pictures on it. This is working very well. They are able to take this to different family members and share their pictures with them. Plenty of room for all her files, it work real well.Read full review...

A hard drive that just works.

The hard drive is a basic drive that will work with almost any computer. Just plug it in and go.
