The positive reviews you read everywhere assure you this is a good product. From my experience, it's silent, fast and reliable. The best quality/size you can currently get for you pounds.

Like other buyers - mine was very poorly packed. However it worked OK. Amazon really need to consider the packaging of such items - common sense really.

Hi
At 10 pence per gigabyte you can't really complain!
I have an existing Seagate drive that is beginning to make unnerving rattling sounds and so I have installed this Caviar drive and activated the backup software that comes free within the Vista control panel to do a daily update copy of all my files.
When the Seagate does finally fall of its perch I will set up a pair of 500GB drives in a Raid 1 configuration but the thought of doing this now and having to re-install all my software before I really have to is just too much!
The Caviar drive installed easily, runs quietly and, so far, "does exactly what it says on the tin." Time will tell!
Very quiet drives and now compatible with Netgear ReadyNAS March 13, 2010

I bought this drive to go into a Netgear ReadyNAS as a partner to another that Amazon had sent in error (should have been the EADS not the EARS). The WD10EARS is not on the hardware compatability list for the ReadyNAS so I was quite worried that I'd have problems and indeed I did start getting SMART disk errors virtually every day from the ReadyNAS. A quick look at the Netgear forum was enough to realise the errors were not serious and were only because these "green" drives don't use one particular feature and so genereate an error. Netgear has since released new beta firmware which makes these drives compatible and the errors are gone. So, if you are considering one of these drive to go into a Ready NAS, you will not be dissapointed, they are very quiet (much quieter than the NAS itself) and very important, compatible. If you just want a fast, quiet drive for your PC with green credentials then these won't dissapoint.
Great value Green 1Tb HDD for upgrade or builds. May 6, 2010

Great Hard Disk easy installation and with loads of capacity for all your needs. Runs fast, cool and quietly. Great buy but is an OEM version so you need 4 mounting Screws plus SATA and perhaps a Sata Power Lead for installation (look inside your case to see if there is a spare Sata Power Plug). No instructions but Vista or Windows 7 will pick it up as new hardware on boot up. if you want Western Digital Software go to their site. Supposed to be very reliable and save power but cannot comment on these claims so far.
