Review on πŸ’ͺ Reliable Performance and High Capacity: Western Digital Caviar 250GB SATA Hard Drive with 16 MB Cache (WD2500KS) by Jason Man

Revainrating 4 out of 5

WD2500KS is a decent all round drive

This is a fairly fast drive that gets a little warm with little spindle (motor) noise. Look for noise when accessing the hard drive. Unlike some other brands, there is no sound level adjustment software to reduce search noise. This is really only a problem for silent PC enthusiasts as most PC fans drown out seek noise. Strangely, the similar WD3200KS is much quieter. Or at least my special one.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Will write back later
