Pros: big, inexpensive Cons: 3 year warranty, no SMART support. Specifically, under Knoppix 4.0 with only this disk connected, smartctl reports:Drive: ATA WDC WD7500AACS-0 Version: 01.0Serial number: WD-WCASN0104662Device type: diskLocal time is: Min Jul 14 21:41:21 2008 EDTDevice does not support SMARTDevice does not support Error Counter loggingDevice does not support Self Test Logging Other Thoughts: The WD product page and Drive Specification Sheet don't mention SMART, either. from Newegg.com I'm no computer geek, but had NO TROUBLE installing bulk/OEM WD5000AACS hard drive from Amazon. Packaged real well, and was securely sealed, with quick shipping. from Amazon.com Pros: I have two of these drive set up in a raid 0. I bought these drives back in May of '08 and still going strong. from Newegg.com Pros: Large capacity, low power consumption, fast (enough). Using to store DVD rips and plan to accumulate 5 drives in an external esata storage case. Transfer speeds seem to be VERY slightly slower than the 750GB SE16 that I already have, but video playback is smooth. from Newegg.com Pros: The drive is very quiet, it was plug-and-play (I so do not miss the days of jumpers and drive configuration in the BIOS), reduced power usage from being "green" (good for a 24/7 server) and you can't beat the price/capacity. Cons: None so far. from Newegg.com Pros: Well.. After I RMA'd My WD 500GB Green Power Drive that came from Newegg to Western Digital that drive worked. The drive from Newegg was DOA and the UPS box was dented. from Newegg.com Pros: Western Digital Reliability, I have 5 WD HDDs, oldest one is 4 years old non ever failed. At 750GB for $70 shipped, that's less than 10cents/GB, 689GB formatted space provide plenty of storage for movies and music. from Newegg.com I bought this to upgrade my Tivo HD from its standard 160GB WD drive. I first tried a Seagate DB35 750GB which was a disaster (lots of skipping, popping noises and would become very hot). from Amazon.com 1600mhz Corsair 9 9 9 24 4890 Sapphire 1gb ddr5 WD Caviar Green 750gb 16mb 850w Corsair tx series from Amazon.com Pros: good storage drive. very fast, and plays any multimedia w/o any burps. from Newegg.com
