I bought four of the Western Digital RE4 2 Tb drives. Delivered quickly despite it being near Christmas. Three worked, one was dead on arrival. Amazon replaced very quickly. Sadly the replacement was dead on arrival too. Again Amazon replaced very quickly with a drive which works.
Good points: Amazon were exceptionally efficient and helpful.
Bad points: Two dead disks out of six. It's too soon to properly judge. The remaining four have worked variously for two days to two weeks with no problems, but two dead out of six leaves me doubtful and very watchful.

Two of these for RAID array in NAS. Seem to be quite fast for both read and write, quiet and not running at cool temperature.

And, there was much happiness...
8 Mar 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm not normally a fan of SATA drives, I've worked extensively with SAS/SCSI drives for servers/etc for the last 20 years and only used ATA/SATA when required.
Still, I've had some projects come up recently where the only option was SATA and high capacity was required.
After some bad experiences with the WDC Cavier Black 2TB, I gave the RE4 a try. It's been great. I've now had 5 of them running for the last six months and the SMART monitoring reports still show the drives as in almost new condition...no errors, no need for sector changes, no unusual increases of load cycle counts, etc. Performance has also been very good....surprisingly good for a mere 7200rpm device. Not to mention, the drives seem to work nicely in both software and hardware raid. I'll probably end up buying another 5 of them soon.
I'll be very happy if I can keep the failure rate to under 4%/yr....this historically is a good rate for SATA/ATA.
I'm not sure what to think about WDC.....I generally prefer seagate, but the RE4 drives certainly seems to be able to back up its claim as an enterprise SATA drive.

Big Daddy with huge cache
23 Mar 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
I was skeptical at first.
But I bought two, and put in a RAID1 mirror config, in a 8-drive raid box with 2 x multilane infiniband interfaces and a RocketRaid card.
The 64MB cache is noticeable, totally. It is not hype. On average, I get 100MB/sec copying across a gigabit network in the LAN from one machine to this RAID volume. In a similar test (using the same source machine, to a volume of 750GB AAKS', I get ~82MB/sec across the wire. Again, the cache is noticeable in my tests.
I am amazed at the quality of this drive.
I recommend these drives to anyone who needs to use a RAID config, and needs capacity, and reliability.
I only use WD, period.
I currently own 46 hard drives, all WD.
The only WD hard drive I ever had fail, was a green 750GB one.
The older AAKS series was phenomenal, and these are the new ones to get!
(I have had drives fail a great deal using other manufacturers)

Solid Performer at a Fair Price
29 Jan 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this to replace a Seagate backup drive that lacked enough room for drive images. The WD5003 is quiet and speedy and comes with a 5-year Enterprise warranty. No problems with it at all.
Buyers have been complaining about Amazon's poor bare-drive packaging in many of the reviews I've read. However, this drive was packaged properly in a box of its own made by WD, with plastic end caps suspending the drive over the bottom of the box. This package was put in another box with the rest of the items I ordered and a couple of air pillows. Perhaps Amazon has listened to the well-founded complaints and revised their bare-drive shipping accordingly. Then again, it might only apply to this particular hard drive.
