WD 500GB Hard Drives

[Jim]

Looks like the 500GB drive is the sweet spot in terms of $/G these
days. Anyone have any opinion or experience of the WD Caviar SE16
500GB versus the WD Caviar GP500GB?

TIA

I've been running 2 WD500YS (RE-2) for a year in RAID 1 with no
problems, and have been running 2 WD500ABYS (RE-2) for a couple of
months in the same configuration with no problems. If you want a
longer warranty than SE, try the RE versions. Still a bargain.
