I am near the end of my 5th year with 2 of these hard drives in my computer, 1 for my system drive and the other for my backup drive. Neither drive has ever given me a problem. I was running Win98 for first 3 years and then went to XP. The system driv (more)

Please, do yourself a favor and do not purchase this drive. I bought one from Best Buy that was $30 after mail in rebates. I was upgrading mine and my girlfriend's computer to SP2 and was using my new WD 80 GB Caviar SE as a backup. Everything went fi (more)

alaTest has collected and analysed 21 reviews of WD Caviar SE WD3200JS from international magazines and websites. (more)

As far as value for money is concerned however, the Caviar SE makes quite a strong argument. It may cost the same as the slightly quicker Maxtor DiamondMax 10 but the WD3200JS offers a five-year warranty period as opposed to the Maxtor's two-year period o (more)

Though there are larger drives available, they do not fit into everyones budget. Simply going from 500GB to 320GB cuts the price in half, which makes this almost a steal. We will compare with one of our recently reviewed 500GB drives and see how it stacks (more)

I purchased the 1TB model of this Iomagic external drive. After 5 months It would intermittantly disconnect and stop writing files half way through. It overheats after a few hours and it becomes inaccessible until it cools off. The rear power cable falls (more)

Decent hard drive. No issues or problems with it. It's always performed good. Recently it started to make some noise and is getting louder over time. I would recommend it, but after a couple of years, expect to replace it. (more)

I checked many of the sellers of the 250gb drive and found only one honest enough to discuss the 137gb limitation. Tom's reviewed a retail version which included the Ultra 100 TX2 PCI card from Promise which has the bios to allow reading past 137gb. (more)

Bought these OEM from PCWorld in the UK. Which meant I got them in well padded boxes but with no manuals or instructions. At £65 each for 40Gb 7200rpm drives I wasn't about to complain. I'm running Window 2000 Pro and haven't had any problems with them ye (more)
