Works greatSep 14, 2009
Got the disk from Amazon. As usual, Amazon packed it well and shipped it fast.
Runs fast, quite, cool (temperature readings never reach 35 degrees on Celsius), as opposed to my seagate disk.
Power consumption measured by Kill-a-watt in external enclosure is 4W (I bet it's less).
Conses? It's not 2Tb disk.

quiet, cool driveAug 03, 2009
It is the green drive. So don't expect it to be as fast as a 7200rpm drive. It has 3 250GB platters, about half the density of the new 2TB green drive (4 500GB platters). However, for the price, a little over $50, it is a great storage drive. Runs quiet and cool.
Go Green!!Jul 25, 2009
I have this drive and WD's next generation of the same drive, WD7500AADS, the one with 32 MB of Cache.
I used these two drives in my HP Media Vault 2120 and love it. I didn't choose to do a RAID, so I have a combined 1.3 TB of storage in the Media Vault.
One thing to note, the drives work great but data transfer does not seem to be quite as fast as the Blue Caviar or my Seagate Baracudas. What I mean by that is when I transfer lots of files from one drive to the other, I think the transfer rates are slower sing Windows Explorer. Of course I know Explorer has a lot of overhead that may slow down transfer rates but the Seagate Baracdas seem to large amounts of data (like 200 GB or so) much more quickly.
I like the idea of power savings however, since the NAS is always running. These drives are ridiculously cool to the touch. They are much cooler to the touch when in use versus other HDDs. For a little sacrifice in performance, I get drives that are much cooler and uses less energy.
If you need all out speed, these are the wrong drives for you. If you need alot of storage and use these either as a backup or in a NAS, these drives are perfect. Go get a WD Black or WD Raptor if you need speed to run your games and get one of these drives to store all your music and photos.
Great valueJul 19, 2009
I got this drive to replace a Maxtor 500gb drive that has way too many bad sectors for being just over a year old. I downloaded the utility from the main website. Plugged this drive in a and let the utility copy everything for me. With a quick reboot i was up and running in no time.
