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.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 17, 2007 | 2 out of 2 found this Western Digital WD Caviar Blue WD2500KS review helpful

    Pros: Fast

    Cons: Not reliable

    For the price it's fine, but for reliablity, I would have to give it a 0 for now. I installed it and dead. I have been dealing in computer parts for a while now and know you get bad this and that. Drives can be tested and I start to wonder if any... really are? (Power, spin, data tranfers - TEST) and ship. Read more Less

    Western Digital WD2500KS

    Although the WD2500KS holds its own, the drive remains a tick slower than Hitachis new Desktar T7K250; its also just a bit slower than some other 7,200rpm drives weve tested recently. Its application-index score of 25.1, for example, is damn goodbut it doesnt break any records. You should also be aware that the WD2500KS does not support native command queuing (NCQ), despite its SATA 3G interface. But we dont mind this shortcoming at all, because NCQ doesnt deliver significant gains in a single-user environment. Read more
