Customer Reviews view all
Western Digital WD RE2-GP & WD Caviar GP by Michael Palamountain

Western digital has released a range of hard drives purporting to save up to 40 percent in power consumption over comparable drives. We found the drives not only lived up to promised efficiency, but also were competitively priced.

Western Digital 500GB RE2 by Rob Williams

Are you looking for huge storage that won't hurt the pocketbook? Easily done, since the 500GB RE2 drive we are looking at today retails for around $250. Does it have the performance you are looking for?

REVIEWS: Western Digital Caviar RE2 ? Tweaked RAID 0 storage (30th June 2006) by Cameron Johnson

On the agenda today is Western Digital's Caviar RE2 hard disk drive which offers great performance when setup in RAID 0.
