WD2500KS - A decent all-around drive [Posted on 2007-04-16] This is a decently fast drive that runs a bit warm with little spindle (motor) noise.
It is NOT "whisper quiet" as it has plenty of audible seek noise when accessing the drive. Unlike some other brands, there is no Acoustic Level Adjustment software available to reduce seek noise. This is really only a concern for Silent PC enthusiasts, as most PCs cooling fans will drown out the seek noise.
Curiously, the similar WD3200KS is much quieter. Or at least my particular one is.
Nice drive [Posted on 2007-05-07] It is a nice drive, but no cables. I had to go out and buy a cable before I could start work!
Excellent Product [Posted on 2007-05-30] Plugging this device into my computer has made worlds of difference. My children now behave, my weekends are always sunny and, best of all, nigerian e-mail scams have been eradicated from my inbox forever. Highly recommended.
Hard drive ok, but come with cables [Posted on 2007-07-12] This hard drive was in good conition, but the item reach without cables, I had to buy cable to install device.
Reliability [Posted on 2008-07-13] I bought this HD about 18 months ago and haven't had any issues with it. Fast and reliable for and excellent price when I bought it. Absolutely recommended
