Conclusion
The WD2500JD provides the best-of-class solution that WD has become known for in the ATA world. While its bridged design and perhaps some minor controller differences cause it to slip very slightly in some comparisons against the parallel ATA WD2500JB, it nonetheless is a premiere contender for any early-adopter's SATA system. Though the JD achieves the performance we have come to expect from WD, it also delivers the same (ball-bearing) noise levels. Other manufacturers such as Seagate and Maxtor have made significant strides in incorporating quieter FDB motors across most if not all of their ATA lines; as a result, WD's drives are weighing in above average in the noise category. The WD2500JD is a nice, fast drive, but with Seagate and Maxtor closing the performance gaps, we are holding our breath for the WD2500PD.
