Review on πŸ’Ύ WD5000AADS 500GB Caviar Green Desktop Hard Drive - SATA 3 Gb/s, Intellipower, 32MB Cache - Bulk/OEM by Glen Elevyn

Great hard drive for the money

I recently assembled a new Windows 7 Core i7 system with some new parts and some old from my previous system. Since my last computer had hard drives that were several years old, I decided to get two new Western Digital SATA Green 500 GB 7200 RPM drives. The investment in the security of my data has paid off. I couldn't be happier. They're quiet in my CPU case (seriously, I don't even feel them if I put my toe on the case during read/write operations) and faster than any hard drive I've had before. The plan is to keep them until the price of SSDs falls to around traditional HDD prices. I believe that 2012 will be the time when the world ends. If you believe this nonsense. ;P
