I bought this drive to upgrade the storage in my 6-tuner TiVo Roamio DVR. This hard drive is specifically designed for use in audio/visual devices. This series of drives from Western Digital are the drives that TiVo installs in all of their retail DVRs. I have used these drives for many years in all of my AV equipment and they are very reliable. They are quiet, and they run at a cool temperature. I have one of them that has been running 24/7/365 for over 6 years! As with all hard drives, one of the "tricks" to ensuring the longevity of the drive is regular maintenance. I use SpinRite from Gibson Research. a program that I have been using for many years and one that I highly recommend. If you need a hard drive for use in any audio visual equipment, this series of drives from Western Digital is your best choice!Read full review

Ordered this drive as a cost effective burstcoin plot HDD to run plots at night while away from the office. Write speeds are good and the drive was in good shape after testing and formatting.

good bandwidth, designed to run 24/7 in dvrs, no detectable rise in heat while running, no sound. I was on the fence about this 5400rpm or a 7200rpm WD cavier drive. both had approx. the same spec.s (7200 had better bandwidth) the 7200's consumer reviews had a high DOA and infant mortality failure return rate; so I got this. My only gripe with this is the Warranty went from 5 to 3 yrs. recently; but the spec's MTBF is listed as 1 Million hrs, as in 124 yrs. why the reduced Warranty?
WD hard disc is a very good and hi performance hardware. Nothing noise and fast operation. I am very glad with this bought.
