Operates good,Added this with my two wd2500ys's for a Raid 5 setup. It Seems to keep up with the YS's Was a couple of megabytes smaller than WD2500YS so i had to use it as second hard drive in Raid five setup instead of third difficult drive. Very good ol Western Digital challenging drives,If heard men and women talk negative about them but i have been making pc's for about 15 years and never had a difficulty with them. I had one particular that was over 8 years old when i got rid of it and it was still operating good.

Least expensive Sata three.0Gb/s hd with 16mb cache on newegg :) Highly rated also. Only 250GB. Not a bleeding edge overall performance drive. A drop (case tipped more than) with the power on destroyed the drive. Information was ok, but the drive has nothing but errors and poor sectors. This is my third obtain. Would purchase once again, I do not need a hundred million GB's.

I've utilized quite a couple of of these over time to replace aging drives for my buyers. They're quiet and, so far, reputable. Seagate used to be the only drive I utilized but it appears to me they're just not up to snuff any more. Easy set up, simple to clone, no complaints None Value is not undesirable for a SATA drive wቬ MB cache.

When new, this computer was sold with an IDE drive in it. Due to the fact the motherboard was SATA-capable, I decided the new drive would be SATA, and this is working fine. Only other factor I needed was a SATA information cable.
