Best Drive out there for Normal PC’s
Concerning the previous review Steve Jobs always has to do things his own special way which in a Lot of cases is excellent but in this case he dropped the ball (IMO).
For all of us using PC’s with Micropoop XP it’s Faster than anything, works Flawlessly and you’ll never see anything faster until 15K comes out. Remember too that SATA1 is virtually IDENTICAL to SATA2 in Real Transfer Rates not Theoretical.
Update (5/17/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Fast, Noisy and Hot but Fantastic
I had this drive for a good year or so then one day it went to sleep and never woke up again. I try to plead with it too come back but it fell on deaf ears. Anyways this drive was fast, noisy but fast and also ran hot. When it came down to speed this one has it and the only reason I am giving it four stars is that it died on me. I stored my high definition home video on it so I could access it quickly or when I would use FRAPS I would store anything like that with large file sizes. I am surprised that the price has not dropped but about twenty bucks from when I bought it a year ago. Considering now you can get the 300 gigs I would probably go with that one if I ever have the extra cash. This is one great hard drive but like any there are some good and some bad. In ten years this is the first to fail on me and I was shocked it was this one. I never ran raid or anything like that and I had sufficient cooling in place but it just died anyways. I still recommend this to people who need speed in a hard drive other than that don’t worry about it since you can get more space but lower speed for cheaper which the average person will probably want.

Not good with G5 Mac
Before buying any WD Raptor high performance hard drives for use in a Mac G5… search the WD website until you find the tech support article that says some are not compatible. I thought we were all past this sort of stupid problem, but apparently not. WD apparently held back on publicly admitting this for way too long.
The Raptor is “enterprise class” and marketed as being built for heavy usage. And it does SEEM to work ok in a Mac dual G5 tower. But under heavy usage it locks up the OS really badly. (Like every other week, but sometimes goes 80 days). This cost us untold grief & thousands of dollars before figuring it out 13 months later. Adding a PCI SATA card fixed the problem. WD blames Apple, but Apple says they are at SATA spec. Whatever, it was a horrible combo until we added the basic (bootable) Sonnet pci sata card to drive the WD Raptor drives. Do your homework & beware.
