Internal Hard Drives > Western Digital Internal Hard Drives

Advantages: Very very quiet. Great price (comparing to other manufacturers)
Disadvantages: Occasional clicking Noise. Utility can be run from floppy only. Western Digital support is Dismal.

I upgraded my original 80 GB hard disk in my Toshiba laptop with this 160 GB Scorpio EIDE drive (Product No. WD1600BEVE). Before I buy this hard disk I read all the review that I could find on the web. The installation was simple and I did not encounter any issues. The drive is so quiet that I have to look at my laptop LED to see if the drive is reading or writing. I hear some clicking noise every once a while specially when going to sleep mode, ...
...being interpreted incorrectly by the hard drive. In order to fix this issue, there is an optimization utility available from manufacturer that can be downloaded and run. The only issue is that the laptop has to have a floppy drive to boot to and run the utility from bootable floppy. The other factor to take in consideration, if you are buying this drive or any other drive larger that 130 GB, you need to make sure system BIOS support it. For this ... Read review

...back in the 90's had Western Digital installed in it. Since then I am addicted with the brand. I have used almost all the brands and personally like IBM the best but since it is not very common in my country and NOT cheap, the second choice of mine was always WD. Also I want my readers to know that in my country (Pakistan) branded computers (computers made by companies) are not that common (only big company offices and BPOs have them). Anyway onto ...
...drive, I bought it back in 2002. I was in my MS degree program back then and used my PC mostly to do my assignments and project work, other stuff included playing PC Games and I must admit that I was an addict to Gaming.
