What in the hell is wrong with Western Digital
If you are just looking to add an additional drive for storage, don’t buy this new version of My Book Essential. Especially if you plan to buy more than one (which you of course should unless it’s purely a backup drive). You will regret it unless you [...]

1TB of space, 32MB cache *PLUS* SATA2? Absurd. Buy now
I bought two of these. Just an insane price. Thanks, Amazon. The drives are bulk/OEM which means they come with nothing. Just the drives and the anti-static bags. Do your homework. If you want software to hold your [...]

Review: WD5001AALS Western, Fast drive, tons of storage

Fast drive, tons of storage
The Caviar Black model of drives differ in three ways from Blue in three major ways:

Just the drive, ma’am…
As M. Mola points out, this is an OEM package. It not only has no instructions or software, it also does not have a connector cable, an IDE four-pin to SATA power adapter, or mounting screws.
If you want to replace a failed drive and don’t want the clutter that usually [...]

May be the “green” drive to get right now
If you’re looking for a low power drive, the Western Digital WD10EADS is one of the best options currently. It has by far the lowest idle and active power consumption statistics. That, not surprisingly, helps it run cooler than other drives as well.
There is some [...]
