As you are making a purchase decision, we suggest that you take the time to read some WD1001FALS Western Digital Hard Drive reviews in order to see what other consumers have to say about the product. Here are some user reviews to help you make your shopping decision:

I bought two of these. Just an insane price. Thanks, Amazon. The drives are bulk/OEM which means they come with nothing. Just the drives and the anti-static bags. Do your homework. If you want software to hold your hand through a hard drive install, do not buy this drive. If you need screws, rails, or cables, do not buy this drive.

If you want to save some cash while getting an absolutely absurd amount of disk space with SATA2 (3Gbps) plus 32MB of cache (older drives have 4-16MB), then get these drives. They are beasts.

After the Seagate fiasco, I vowed to go with an alternative. Western Digital came through with these monster hard drives. Get one. Get two. You will not be disappointed.

I have three of them now and they are fast, quiet and big. So far no reliability problem. Easy to get going. Shock resistant. Price good too. WD id good to deal with in the event of a problem too.

Having trouble deciding between the green and the black? I went with the black and they are not that loud at all. I am experiencing great performance and these drives appear to be just as advertised. I think the reliable Western Digital drives are finally back on the shelves...way to go WD!!

I was looking for two affordable, high-capacity drives to run in RAID formation 0 (mirroring) to backup vast amounts of sensitive material. Needless to say, this drive was outstanding in all regards... and had a price per GB that can't be beat (maybe a few 750GB could, but the premium over the 750s for a 1TB is marginal). I highly recommend these drives! No failures in over two months with sustained read/write rates between 50-80mb/s depending on the device being transferred to.

I purchased two of these drives and have been using them for about a week now. Incredibly fast and running much cooler than I thought (30-34 degrees C). How can you go wrong with a 1 TB drive for less than $100. As long as the reliability is there, this is probably the best buy on the whole hard drive market.
-H. Rubinstein (WD1001FALS Western Digital Hard Drive user review from Amazon.com)

This is a sensational drive. It is FAST, and it is quiet. It came very well packaged (in spite of what some of the other reviewers have noted) so that it could not have sustained any damage during shipment. The shipping from Amazon was (as always) unbelievably fast. I used this drive to replace my old boot drive, so I put it in the computer and then installed Windows Vista 64-bit on it without any difficulties. The drive works flawlessly, and I could not be any more pleased. Buy it!!!
