 "Good product, but test it out as soon as you recieve it" 2009-09-08
By Srikanth Janga (Pittsburgh, PA)
So, I bought 3 of these recently for a RAID-0 in my Tyan S2915-E MoBo, and I would constantly keep getting errors in Nvidia Mediashied saying that the array was going to fail soon. Long story short, the problem was from both ends, the NVidia driver on XP X64 and one of the disks being bad. one think I'll tell right now is that You absolutely must run the WD test utility to ensure the health of the drives as soon as you recieve them to avoid any confusion. There was a point when I thought my Mobo was bad. Amazon was super cool for sending me a replacement without even waiting for me to send in my faulty drive unit. Performace is definitely great as I am running all three as a 3-way striped RAID-0 Array. To rate these drives as a single drive is useless, for that you have the black edition drives anyway. the RE3 is for RAID and I think rating their RAID performance should be the only performance review.

 "WD 1T RE3 HD works great in RAID configuration" 2009-06-25
By Bob Sincick (Beaverton, Oregon USA)
I bought 5 units of the 1T RE3 drive for a RAID-5 set. Works great. Less heat than the black drives it replaced. The RE3 is better suited to RAID applications than standard drives which can drop off the raid set unexpectedly.

 "Poor Packaging" 2009-06-24
By Ming (DC)
Expensive drive was shipped in plastic bag between two loosely fit air pillows. Foam was not used as mentioned. Drive was basically free to slosh around in box.



YES, OEM drive, but there is no retail version of this drive. Don't buy this drive from Amazon.



Promised securely packaged replacement from Amazon came loose in box like the first. Worse, one of the air pillows was deflated. Don't trust Amazon for enterprise quality hardware.

 "Amazing" 2009-04-25
By Michael Labate
I purchased 5 of these for a RAID5 setup and wow, they are speedy and they don't make as much noise as I thought they would from reviews on these drives. So far I am impressed.

 "Great Drive" 2009-03-28
By Johan Attali (San Francisco, CA)
Got two of this drives, stripped in RAID 0 for higher performances using Photoshop and Lightroom.

It's blazing fast once correctly partionned (keep in mind the scratch size can become quite large when dealing with larges/many files on CS4)



I recommend you read DIGGLOYD's blog (http://macperformanceguide.com/Storage-Drive-WesternDigitalRE3.html) before purchasing so that you know what you'll be dealing with.

 "Approved for use in ReadyNAS Duo" 2009-04-05
By R. King (SLC, UT)
Netgear-approved drive for the ReadyNAS Duo. Bought this as a second drive to my 500GB Duo. Duo recognized it immediately after installation, no problems for at least two months now.



One note: it does appear to run 5-10 degrees F warmer than the stock Seagate drive that shipped with the Duo, but nothing out of the ordinary.

 "Western Digital 500GB RE3 Sata 7500rpm RAID HDD" 2009-03-11
By MBW (Rockville, MD USA)
Have three runnig in an RAID 5 config, (must have minimum 3 drives for RAID 5). These drives are silent, run fairly cool and are quick. Not knowledgable enough to discuss the technical aspects but suggest you visit the Western Digital site and explore the Enterprise RE2 and RE3 technical info. RE2 and RE3 enterprise drives are recommended for RAID configured server applications. The differnce between RE2 and RE3 you ask? From the DATAMATION web site, "The RE Series drives are currently offered in three flavors: The previous generation RE2 drives, the next generation RE3 drives (with a dual processor design that increases the drive's performance 20% beyond that of the 2nd generation drives), and the RE2-GP, or "GreenPower" drives which feature power conservation features including Intelliseek (calculates the optimum speed of the actuator arm to reduce wasted movement), Intellipower (balances the actual spin speed of the platter to match needs and consumes less power on start up), and Intellipark (unloads recording heads during idle). Intelliseek is also featured in the RE3 drives".



They work great in my small network storage/retrieval application. If you're looking for absolute speed, check out the Western Dig VelociRaptor 10,000 rpm series while you're at the website.

 "Exceptional Hard Drive!" 2008-11-25
By Corinne Dalelio (Long Branch, NJ United States)
Western Digital Bulk (WD5002ABYS) Western Digital Serial ATA (SATA II)Caviar Raid , RE3 3.5" Interna



This is an exceptional hard drive. It is rock-solid, runs cool, and is a raid edition model, so it has the 5 year warranty.

The RMA process with Western Digital hard drives is second to none....

Thanks!
