Customer Reviews of the Western Digital WDBAAU0030HBK-NESN:

Its a great external hard drive, I have several 1.5TB models just like this deployed in our office, and just like them they are very quiet and effective as a backup solution.

Yes it’s on, for reals. It’s so quite it makes me question my own ears. I got the 3TB version, and maybe I will be able to fill it in about 100 years. j/k. I have 5 externals running off of a powered hub on my laptop at all times and this one takes the cake as the largest and quietest one of them all. One HD to rule them all? Maybe, if the cake is a lie. Seriously, buy this one and site back and relax.

Price: $180.99 (Price on amazon.com: $124.99)

What’s in the box: USB 2.0 external hard drive, USB cable, AC adapter, Quick Install Guide.
