Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Terrific Internal HD Comment: The WD 1TB SATA Greenpower is a great resource for photo/video users. It performs as advertised, is very quiet and has made the use of Time Machine seamless. When I upgrade my G5 Tower to a new MacPro this hard drive is coming along with the upgrade. Customer Rating: Summary: Died Comment: I had the Hard Drive about 2 days and had been working on reinstalling all my programs. I got close to the end and then it just died. I tried everything I could think of to make it work and notta. I even tried placing it into another computer. Customer Rating: Summary: Great value and price Comment: Can't beat a Western Digital product over the competition, at least in my opinion and experience with two other brands. For just over $100 I got a fast 1tb hard drive that installed in a snap. I plan to get many years use out of this one. Customer Rating: Summary: Now replaced by a much improved version, the WD10EADS Comment: There is an even better version of this drive out, Western Digital WD10EADS 1TB SATA 32MB Cache Green Power Bulk/OEM Hard Drive. Look for that version instead - it has better speed, and lower power consumption. Tom's Hardware says "We have to advise against getting the first generation Caviar Green drive--the WD10EACS--because the current model WD10EADS is just so much better. ... If you want an efficient drive go for the WD Caviar Green WD10EADS, not the WD10EACS."
Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome Upgrade for TiVo HD Comment: I purchased this hard drive to use as an upgrade in my TiVo HD. It replaced the stock 160gb drive, which was capable of holding only 20 hrs of HD video. This drive allows me to now store 160 hrs of HD video and almost 1500 hours of SD video. Awesome upgrade for my TiVo HD.
Note - This drive WILL NOT work in the Series 3 TiVo as an upgrade as it is the WD10EACS-00ZJB0 which causes the Series 3 to get stuck in an endless boot cycle.
