About this product

Product Information

The Western Digital Caviar Black (WD5001AALS) internal hard drive has a spindle speed of 7,200RPM, as well as an external data transfer rate of 300 Mbps. This, combined with an option of 32MB or 64MB cache, ensures that you can transfer and open your saved content easily and quickly. The large cache provides buffer room that keeps your computer processing smoothly, and the high data read and transfer speeds make opening or moving files a snap. The equipped dual processor provides additional speed and prevents delays in file transferring when you store them. The Serial ATA (SATA) II 3 Gb/s interface provides plug-and-play connectivity so that the Western Digital Caviar Black (WD5001AALS) can be easily installed in a range of computers. The HDD is compatible with several motherboards and CPUs and comes equipped with Native Command Queuing that automatically optimizes when commands are read and executed. Flexible cables keep installation simple, whether you’re building a new computer or upgrading your existing hardware, and the 3.5" form factor lets this hard drive fit within most cases. At 1.6 lbs in weight, it has a satisfying heft but is easily light enough to transport or move around during installation. Other accessories that come with the Western Digital Caviar Black (WD5001AALS) include Data Lifeguard, NoTouch ramp load technology, StableTrac, and Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR). The Data Lifeguard protection includes shock guards and embedded real-time error detection, which finds and repairs errors within the HDD as they occur. As the hard drive wears out, the protection features isolate and repair problems that they find, preserving the life of the HDD for as long as possible and maintaining the performance quality. The NoTouch ramp load technology prevents the recording head from coming into contact with the disk media, decreasing the amount of wear to both. It also provides additional drive protection when the HDD is in transit or being installed. Other accessories help stabilize the hard drive and protect against the vibrations that occur when the computer is in operation, offering more security against shock and general wear. The Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB HDD (WD5001AALS) stands out against comparable models such as Western Digital’s own Scorpio Blue. Though not a solid state drive (SSD), this internal HDD provides the faster performance, durability, and specs that you need in your personal computer or server, marking it as an intelligent choice regardless. The combination of 500GB storage capacity, 32MB cache, quick data reading and transfer speeds, SATA II interface, and included protection features ensure that this hard drive measures up to your highest expectations. Sound mechanical architecture and secure storage accessories make the Western Digital Black (WD5001AALS) a solid investment for your data storage needs.

    Seems to be a great product but ask me again in about three years.

    Hi All, I purchased this product for three reasons.1)My systems primary hard drive is 3 years old and I felt that a back up drive was in order... just in case number 1 failed. 2)I had recently installed a television tuner board and I found that recording TV shows requires a lot of HD space.3)I had also recently installed a video editing program and found that the saved videos require a lot of HD space.I chose the WD Caviar Black just because the WD brand is as good or better than any available HD.I think there are well built drives and there are also duds in every batch of any make and model of HD. This time I bought the WD. What the heck. It may crap out in two years but so might any other brand. I have had the new WD drive for about two months so I can't comment on durability but I can ...

    Great drive, great price, solved my problem. A+++

    I bought this drive to replace my dying Seagate 100gig drive and to upgrade to something bigger. I like the drive because it functions flawlessly, seeks fast and so far has been very reliable. I've always had good luck and experiences with Western Digital products. Drawbacks, some say this drive is noisy. It is a tiny bit noisier than the Seagate but since my unit is below my desktop I rarely even hear it or the system fans. I will definitely go with Western Digital again in the future.

    Good drive

    Works good, it has good speeds. First I tought it had a slow access speed (it was on 17,3), but the standard settings for AAM is set to low noise, I used the HD Tune pro to change it to high performance (254) then it went to 12,3. I am satisfied :)
