Summary: Pretty good performance, very reliable
Review: I have both this drive and its big brother, the WD400JB. Previously, I've had a 20GB (WD200BB) from the same family. I've always experienced good performance from this family of drives and the noise was moderate. (Most systems sold will have CPU and case fans that are louder than this drive.) All the Western Digital drives I've had in this line have been very reliable, which explains why until very recently WD offered a 3 year warranty period on them.

Summary: A Cheap Drive
Review: The Western Digital 40 GB HD (WD400BB) is slow and a bit noisy, and a big difference from Maxtor 40 GB (MX6L040J2). I wrote 950MB file ( 2061 file, 181 folder) to both of them. Here is the data: Western Digital took 9 min 2 sec. Maxtor took 1 min and 41 sec. Your surely can tell the difference from the data. Writting to WD400BB (EIDE)is even slower than writing to my USB hard drive. I might just get a no-good one. Beware, you guys

Summary: 2-3 years old and still works great
Review: This hard drive has no real reliability issues whatsoever as of yet, and I have had it for at least 2 years, maybe even closer to 3. I would say that the typical lifespan of a hard drive is 5-6 years, but it might be even longer than that. In other words, by the time you need a new one, they will have capacity in the range of 1-2 TB and you will likely want to get an entirely new system (author recommends learning how to build your own if you haven't already) to put it in.

Summary: Noisy and Not so Reliable
Review: This HardDrive came with my Dell PC. Both were noisy and the last one crashed. Maybe it is my luck but I am not getting another one.
