WD Caviar Green 1.5TB SATA Intellipower Hard Drive with 32MB Cache (Bulk/OEM) for Desktop - WD15EADS Review

when reading / writing, noise is heard at high frequencies. not very loud, but annoying. before that I used seagate and samsung - this has never happened before. I was hoping to assemble a quiet computer for the home - and now, such a setup!

2 Seagates that I had on my computer before buying this work all the time, as I have a computer, and this month only lasted, weakling. The hard drive is not so pathetic as the data that may not be recovered With its pros: It worked quite well until what was described in the shortcomings happened. Cons: He worked with me for a little over a month, so what? Suddenly, the computer stopped seeing it, and the board on the hard drive heats up instantly when turned on. And this is on a perfectly…

Great disc. Always bought, buy and will buy WD. Excellent discs. What the previous speaker wrote is nonsense . WD has no warranty issues. Fortunately, I myself didn’t have a single problem with this disk or with others, but in the office where I also buy them, there were a couple of returns - everything was changed under warranty without question.

two such disks have been working as a file cleaner almost 24/7 since 2022. for all this time there was not a single failure or failure of the HDD.

Use only as a long-term data store. Install OS on this screw only as a last resort! Got pros: + High read speed (up to 100 or more MB / s in real conditions) has been preserved to this day. + No problems with storing and reading data. + Does not overheat. In idle, the temperature is 34 degrees, in active work it reaches 38-40. + Quiet. It is not audible at all against the background of the rest of the working kit. Cons below: - A year after the purchase, the write speed dropped significantly

Pros: price, because budget model low power consumption durability With its cons: The speed is sufficient for such a price, but ideally I would like to be faster

For a long time and painfully, a 1.5 barracuda bought for big money died for me when they just started to enter the market (probably 2022-2022), but under the guarantee they could not offer a similar model because it was not in stock - I had to take this one. I used it carefully, downloaded it in one stream, didn’t particularly load it, distributions were minimal, the speed was limited, we watched movies - the torrent was turned off, but died, and unexpectedly. So I don’t understand at all…

I read in reviews that 1.5 TB screws lose 1 and 2 TB in reliability, and for all manufacturers. However, the money was not enough, took this one. There are no temperature issues. It does not rise to critical even if large volumes are pumped. As for noise, I expected it to be better. I noticed the difference with sata2 in that it became faster to pump large files. I've been using it for four months. There were no problems. Hope it works for a long time.

Great storage solution. The disk does not boast of special performance, but it is rather quiet and cold, and this is the most for storage. I have 2 such drives spinning in my NAS (mileage 5.5 thousand hours) and 3 previous models (15EARS, mileage 21 thousand hours) - none of the disks has a single alarming SMART indicator. A basket of 5 (!) disks is cooled by only one fan for blowing into the case and one for blowing out from the opposite side. At the same time, the fans are at the lowest…

A little over a month ago I bought 3 of these drives to install in my HP EX495 Mediasmart 1.5TB (Black) Home Server. So far they are doing quite well. These drives are very quiet. I have a server in my basement and when I'm working downstairs I can't even tell the server is running except for the light in the front. Caviar Green drives run 10-15 degrees cooler than the Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB SATA 32MB Cache Bulk/OEM Hard Drive ST31500341AS that came with the unit, even when backed up…

Packed in bubble wrap again (about 1 week ago, about February 1st)! So, after another call to customer service to explain that the packaging was not suitable and I wanted to replace my replacement because the original shipment and the replacement were packaged incorrectly, customer service finally said they had checked the Revain seller list for the would pull the product and fix the problem. I have elected to return only the original lot, replacement lot, replacement lot and one other add-on…

I received this drive to add to my HP Media Vault 2120. The nice thing is that Revain offers a "D" version of this drive for the same price as the "C" version. WD7500AADS has 32MB cache while WD7500AACS has only 16MB cache. I bought the WD7500AACS to replace the original drive in the media storage and with two drives I have 1.3GB of storage. woohoo! The drive seems reliable enough since the NAS is running all the time, and since the drives are running all the time it was nice to get a "green"…

This is a great hard drive with plenty of storage space for photos and videos. SATA connections were easy to make and the drive was very easy to install in an eSATA external enclosure. Despite being a "green" drive and spinning slower than other drives, I didn't notice that it was slow to respond and as external storage it provided the perfect solution for my storage needs. This disc was provided by a retailer and not supplied by Revain.com and the third party packaging for this disc was…

As for the bad packing notes, my drive arrived today in a large shipping box with crumpled brown paper wrapped around the smaller inner box. The inner box has been specially adapted for the drivetrain with plenty of room around the drivetrain and built in internal stops to keep the drivetrain in position in the inner box. The drive was enclosed in a traditional anti-static plastic case. If your drive is packaged the same as mine, then you have nothing to worry about. Note: If your package is…

I think this drive works well and has served well so far. The problem is that this is the second disk. I had to return the first one as it didn't work properly after being sent in 'no hassle' Revains packaging. This package consisted of only 2 LARGE single chamber bubble bags and an OPEN standard ESD free plastic bag. It is a totally unacceptable practice to transport a sensitive piece of equipment that is subject to static electricity, as well as damage from shock and vibration that would…

I have been a computer engineer for over 30 years and have always used and recommended Western Digital discs to others. And this particular drive will be no exception. The packaging is well thought out and protects the drive just like the retail box. Antistatic bags and plastic end caps keep the drive centered in the interior. These are OEM wheels so other items are not included. Make sure you have SATA adapters handy for data transfer and a power cable for a quick setup. These drives were…

I bought this drive in December 2009 based on many positive reviews and it broke completely after 6 months of light use. Western Digital's diagnostic tool showed that there were so many media errors that it could not continue. Chkdsk listed thousands of read errors before I gave up and submitted it for RMA. The RMA instructions on the WD website had detailed packaging instructions, and it occurred to me that the problem might be how these bulky drives are handled once they arrive at Revain's…
