Review on πŸ’Ύ WD RE Enterprise Hard Drive 500GB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache - WD5003ABYZ by Thanaporn Amphaiwora ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

This hard drive is produced as a replacement for the previous Western Digital WD5003ABYX. I ordered 28 pieces and installed in RAID-1 (Mirror) in a dozen Simatic rack pc 847b (SIEMENS) and older systems up to Pentium4. They were determined without problems both on the ICH7R chipset controller and on the ancient FastTrak TX2300. It is this model that I advise all contractors servicing our pieces of iron.

Pros
  • 1. Warranty 5 years 2. VERY beneficial for installing in RAID on older systems
Cons
  • 1. More expensive 2. No jumpers included (the need is debatable. Read the manual) 3. Shipped in an anti-static bag, not in an eraser container.
