 A No-Problems-So-Far Review September 5, 2010
Pileated (CT, USA)
I've done some video editing with the month-old rebuilt system this drive is in, so it has had some intensive use with no problems. To my unsophisticated awareness of such things hard drives of every brand all work about the same until they don't work at all, which happens at least a year down the road if it does happen. I've had WD drives croak this way, without warning, but I've had Seagates and Maxtors go too. The WD5001 worked out of the box (well, the OEM wrapper), set up Windows 7 without a hiccup, and is a nice chunk of storage for a nice price. Five stars.
 WD 2TB SATA Drives for Drobo FS September 2, 2010
David Elliott (Martinez, CA United States)
Drives live up to their manufacturer's specification. I am pleased with them. They are the first 2 Drives installed in a Drobo FS. Installation went effortlessly. The drives are connected across a network and perform according to their specifications.
Works Fine September 1, 2010
Bruce638 (Grand Blanc, MI USA)
I had previously bought the 1 TB version of the Caviar Black drive as a backup drive and had no problems with it. As a result I wanted the same type of drive as the primary for the new computer that I built. Amazon had a good price and availability on the 500 GB unit. Thus far (about two months) there have been no problems, and I am very satisfied.
Installation in the new computer proceeded without problems. This drive is quieter than the previously purchased 1 TB unit which I am nnow using as the back-up in the new computer.
A year later, still going strong August 28, 2010
William Sullivan (Austin, TX)
I added a couple of these to my Mac Pro and a year later they're still going strong. Installation was super easy (basically, just slide them into an empty hard drive slot) and they've been storing data without any complaints.
