Western Digital 120GB Hard Drive (WD1200JB): Got gigs?

byrice75 Jun 3, 2003
39 Helpfuls 40 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Storage space for whatever you can think of.
Cons None that I have encountered.
Recommended it? Yes

As I was choosing the different parts to my new PC, I read review after review extolling the virtues of the Western Digital 120GB Hard Drive (WD1200JB) but I couldn't justify the $200 price tag. But, as luck would have it, I was scanning the weekly ad from CompUSA and found this very hard drive,... Read full review »

Just adding my experience to the list...

bycaseybarker May 11, 2004
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fast, cheap drive. Painless warranty replacement process.
Cons Painfully unreliable.
Recommended it? No

Like other reviewers here, I've experienced an unacceptably high failure rate with the WD1200JB drives. I try not to quickly judge a product (and jump on epinions to bash them) based off of a single failure when that failure probably isn't statistically significant. However, my experience with the...

Unreliable... don't waste your time or money

bycolossus79 Feb 26, 2004
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Capacity... but that's about it
Cons Totally unreliable, limited warranty, customer support was no help at all
Recommended it? No

I bought this drive and it failed after only two months; I called customer support and was told to send it in for a replacement, only to be told that my drive was out of warranty... after just two months? I definitely would not recommend buying this drive, and I will not be purchasing any more... Read full review »

I will never buy a WD disk drive again

byjosepgaspar May 1, 2004
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros can't think of a pro for a disk that crashes in just 8 month
Cons Died in just 8 months without a single warning
Recommended it? No

after working flawlessly for 8 months, the drive just stopped from booting WinXP this morning, after a couple of hours, BIOS stopped from detecting the drive. Lost +100GB of data without a single warning :( Never had such a crash with Seagate. This is the first a last WD disk drive I'll ever buy. Read full review »

Don't use in Raid 0 array

bymikkel315 Jan 17, 2004
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good price
Cons Hard to install in raid. Not reliable
Recommended it? No

My 2 drives died after 2 weeks because of a known problem with compatibility with raid 0. I dont know how extensive the problem is, but techs at Western Digital told me I should try to sell the replacement drives I am getting as they don't support Raid. Use SATA instead. Western Digital will not... Read full review »

Don't use this drive for your business work

byyogi____ Apr 3, 2004
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cheap, ample storage for minimal expense, great performance while it lasted
Cons Above-average noise, unreliable, hot-air 3-year warranty
Recommended it? No

I bought this hard drive because it had a 3-year warranty and I've heard good words about Western Digital drives. It turns out those words totally contradict my experience with one of these I bought in September 2003.

The good stuff:
This hard drive was a big jump from my previous... Read full review »

Western Digital Caviar drives: unforgivably unreliable!

bybrianpbarnes Mar 7, 2004
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cement a dozen of them together and you would have a great boat anchor.
Cons 3 catastrophic failures in under a week make Caviar drives too untrustworthy to consider...
Recommended it? No

I bought a Western Digital Caviar, 120 GB, IDE drive for use in a backup Linux workstation. It was installed in a Cooler Master 4002, a top rated, forced air drive cooler with a massive, aluminum head sink. Suddenly, after only a few hours of operation, parts of the system started failing and Linux... Read full review »

byelffy Jul 18, 2003
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very fast, very silent, good price, 3 year warranty, 8 meg cache
Cons Ran fine then made this *noise*..not much faster than ata/100 2 meg drives I've tried
Recommended it? Yes

I DO like this hard drive....BUT, after 4 weeks or more or less normal (meaning on 65-75% of the time)use, it started to make this clicking noise and took more than a few seconds to respond when reading/writing data. I immediately pulled it from my computer and gave it time to cool down and rest... Read full review »
