In addition, you'll get one of the quietest 2.5-inch drives on the market with real-time data protection technology to help keep your data safe.ive, silence is golden. WD's exclusive WhisperDrive combines state-of-the-art seeking algorithms to yield one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard drives on the market. Optimizing the way a drive seeks for data also aids significantly in saving power. So now silence with longer battery life is golden.WD's ShockGuard technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks. WD's SecurePark parks the recording heads off the disk surface during spin up, spin down and when the drive is off. This ensures the recording head never touches the disk surface resulting in improved long term reliability due to less head wear and improved non-operational shock tolerance.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great upgrade drive
Comment: Drive arrived in fairly good packaging. It seems to be quicker and quieter than the Hitachi 160GB which it replaced in my laptop. No complaints after using it for two weeks!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Much louder than 'Whisper Quiet'
Comment: I've only been using my drive for a week so I can't comment on longevity, but this is the loudest laptop hard drive I have used in years. It is considerably louder than the 60gb Toshiba it replaced - and that was a four year old drive. The WD makes lots of clicking and ticking sounds and an odd sort of whooshing sound I've not heard before. Anyone who places a high value on silence would do well to look at another line of drives.

Summary: Small wonder
Comment: Working smooth without any problem, almost in perfect condition and that's why I have no comments.

Summary: Perfect Replacement for my Dell 700m
Comment: I have to say that I was amazed by the performance of this Western Digital drive. They seem to have come a long long way in the last 12 years. Yes my only experience with WD was 12 years ago and I had been a fan of Conner/Seagate for the last 12 years. This drive is quieter and has better I/O capabilities than the 100GB 7200rpm PATA Seagate Momentus that it replaced. Many people will warn you that it is impossible to install a 250GB HDD on a Dell 700m laptop. I had no problems at all. Plug it in, format, then run the OS installer of your choice.

Summary: 250 Gigs of Freedom
Comment: I bought this drive one week ago, and the transition to my notebook was almost seamless. My 100 gig drive that came with my Dell Inspiron 6000 was full of files and photos and I wasn't able to run programs because of a lack of disk space. This drive provided 150 gigs of future space. Perhaps it will outlast the rest of my notebook's life. The drive is quiet and works well. What more could you ask for?
