Review on Western Digital 500GB WD Black Performance Internal Hard Drive HDD - 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache, 3.5" - Reliable storage for optimized performance by Stanislaw Wysocki ᠌

I recommend this HDD due to its combination of advantages. It will also be ideal in tandem with an SSD: the system and programs fly on the SSD, and your files lie on the "black" and do not strain the brakes during operation. Got pros: The main super advantage of this HDD is that it has a 5 year warranty. Now there is a very negative situation with screws on the market - the percentage of defects is huge for all manufacturers and now you need to navigate not only by technical characteristics, but also by warranty - and here this fairy tale of 5 years is not here for you. Moreover, the guarantee is not from the manufacturer, but from the store itself on the receipt. those. you don't have to go to malaysia to get a guarantee. Here the truth needs to be clarified that the seller-seller is different and it may turn out that you will have a year of warranty - you need to control it. + In addition to the warranty, there are advantageous differences: Maximum performance for complex tasks, tk. here 7200 rpm (no 5400 or "intelligent speed" for you - maximum current, current) Buffer 64 MB SATA 3 - 6Gb/s MTBF 650 thousand hours (not a million of course, but also nothing) Works quietly (my copy). The black Vedeh series has always been distinguished by arbitrary loudness from instance to instance, and it may well be that the same thing will happen here. But mine is quiet. Even quieter than the valve on the PSU, which does not spin above 1000 rpm. Well, + the miracle of things like icedisk 100 has not yet been canceled Strange as it may seem, there is no terrible crackling of heads as usual on the black series Read and write speed 125MB per second (not synthetic tests, but stupid file copying) Cons below: Advanced Format, although in principle I don’t care Previously, the black series was the fastest of all propellers in the cl, but now it is not so 120-125 per record, which is not enough in our time and there are faster compeors, and significantly. Although, of course, this speed is certainly not low and there are no problems during operation, you even feel that the computer is flying. Although you don’t need to roll out the lip - it’s not even close to an SSD at all. Also, according to synthetic tests, this is not the fastest model, but in principle it keeps at the level of compeors.
