Review on WD Blue Desktop 1TB Hard Drive - 3.5 inch, 5400~7200RPM, SATA3 (6.0GB/s), 64MB 💾 Cache, Ideal for PC, Mac, CCTV, NAS, DVR, Raid and SATA Applications, 1 Year Warranty by Eric Shaun ᠌

It is not clear about the direction of the disk - it will not work in a gaming PC, because the speed is low, and in other cases 5400 rpm is preferable due to low vibration and noise. BUT - he has proven himself well, so 4. Pros: - Uptime 21 thousand hours, no problems. All this time it was fixed vertically - a feature of the case. Uptime is NOT continuous - the disk itself is 5 years old, i. E. switched on and off constantly; - Quiet. No, no jokes, really quiet; - Cold - above 35 degrees I do not remember the temperature, while the disk is not cooled at all; - wdidle3 works. YES, the disk is often parked, but thanks to wdidle3, I do not consider this a disadvantage, because. apply once and forget. Has some cons - Read-write speed of 140 MB / s at the beginning - for a 7200 rpm disk, this is ridiculous, but newer revisions seem to work faster (I have 75M2NA0). At the same time, at the end of the disk, the speed is not particularly lower, the minimum is 90 MB, as it should be.
