Product Description

WD Caviar SE16 SATA II hard drives combine 300 MB/s transfer rate and 16 MB cache for industry leading performance. Yes, these reliable drives are lightning fast, but they still deliver technologically advanced acoustics and cool operation.Fast - The one-two performance punch of 300 MB/s transfer rate, state-of-the-art performance for SATA drives, and 16 MB cache make the WD Caviar SE16 family the fastest desktop-class hard drives available.Cool - Cool operation means the highest reliability even in high-heat environments such as personal video recorders. That's why these drives, the coolest on the market, are the drive of choice for the world's leading consumer electronics manufacturers as well as the world's leading PC makers.Quiet - The technology that Tom's Hardware called "very fast and nearly silent" is repeated in this family of drives. Western Digital has minimized noise to levels virtually below the threshold of human hearing with WhisperDrive technology. And to cut seek noise, SoftSeek technology streamlines read/write seeking algorithms, resulting in the drive operating more efficiently when accessing and writing data.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Product.......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.

Nice drive.......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!

WD2500KS - A decent all-around drive.......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.

Western Digital 250 GB SATA Hardrive OEM.......2007-04-01

This was an OEM version that contained no support software. This was not
a problem as it was easily obtained thru WD's website. Product installed
easily and was up & running in minutes. I set it up as part of a dual
boot system and I've had no trouble so far.

These are great hard drives for the price.......2007-03-31

I love these hard drives! They have a decent capacity and excellent performance for the price. I bought several for a Raid array and external backup
