hard drive for the money

byeaglekeeper1 Dec 31, 2004
38 Helpfuls 39 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Quick and easy to install. 3 year warranty
Cons No cables or software
Recommended it? Yes

I purchase the hard drive to add to my computer. I have not encountered any problems with this hard drive. It was easy to install, but buying it from Tigerdirect.com has some problems. I did go to Western Digital website for instructions on how to install the drive. I have read other people having... Read full review »

Insanely BIG WD drive - includes Ultra 100 controller

Pros Massive Drive - can handle HOURS of videos or LOTS of backups LONG 3yr warranty
Cons Included Ultra100TX2 Promise controller provided odd OS compatibility. Helps to be expert...
Recommended it? Yes

I have used Western Digital drives for years, and have not had many of them fail. So I looked forward to adding this new masterpiece to my fairly spacious system (the problem with big drives is backing them up, even just a "quick" disk to disk backup needs lots of space.)

I use Win XP... Read full review »

I wish I could have purchased two

Pros State of the art, high-capacity, high-performance, Ultra ATA/100 EIDE hard drive.
Cons None for me.
Recommended it? Yes

Over the past decade I have owned several Western Digital Caviar drives of various sizes, without issue, so I had no qualms about buying another WD drive. When OfficeMax offered the WD2000JB 200 GB EIDE drive for $49 after rebates, I couldn't resist.

The WD2000JB is a high-performance,... Read full review »

The mother of all hard drives

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros MASSIVE space, incredible speed, easy install, guaranteed compatibility
Cons requires one free PCI slot
Recommended it? Yes

This is the second time I've bought a Western Digital hard drive, and they continue to let me know that they are the top manufacturer of hard drives. I like to think of Western Digital as the Microsoft of storage.

I purchased the Western Digital 3.5" IDE Ultra ATA... Read full review »

Lots of space, but not so reliable

bydesmondsmith Feb 8, 2007
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Lots of space when it works
Cons Hard Drive FAILURE, it crashed making clicking noises
Recommended it? No

I purchased this drive over a year ago, the space was a nice rush, the drive worked fine, until it didn't. 200 gigs of FULL space is a lot of data for me to lose.

Installation was easy, if you have an updated BIOS, it's pretty much plug and play.

Just keep in mind if you are one... Read full review »

Not reliable

byx97schinkel May 26, 2006
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros None
Cons Not reliable at all
Recommended it? No

I had this hard drive for 2 years. One day at work (while it was in a sturdy External IDE case), the case dropped a very short distance to the floor. After that this drive never worked again and the arm constantly clicks against the middle that holds the drive heads. Read full review »

WD2000JB plug & play

bytechnognome Jun 3, 2004
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros 200 big fat juicy gigabytes, man ! Whaddya think?
Cons they dont grow on trees
Recommended it? Yes

After reading these reviews and other articles on this drive I was under the impression that I would have to use a PCI/ATA adapter to access the full capacity of this drive, which exceeds 137 GB.

As it turns out...if you have Windows XP Service Pack 1 or beyond, and a mobo BIOS that... Read full review »

Nice drive, nice price

byantinous Aug 18, 2005
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very quiet, fast, and efficient.
Cons Higher levels of heat than smaller capacity drives
Recommended it? Yes

I have 5 of these drives at the moment and I am 100% satisfied. Speeds are as advertised if not a bit faster. The only thing I do not like about this drive is the amount of heat it dissipates (seems to be quite a bit more then the WD800JB and WD1200JB). Read full review »

1,000,000 Hr MTBF is really only 1,000,000sec

5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros 8MB cashe, and huge storage space
Cons unreliable
Recommended it? No

8MB Cashe, and huge storage space for woking with movies and other media seemed to be plus, and I bought this drive based on other reviews.

The advertised 1,000,000 Hours Mean Time Between Failures should really be only 1,000,000 seconds, as my WD2000JB-75DUAO froze up after just one... Read full review »
