Review on Western Digital WD5000AAKS: The High-Capacity 500GB Hard Drive You Need by Mohammad Taufik ᠌

Decent model, stands the test of time. Different pros: - Sufficiently high linear speed (110-130 MB / s) for its class. - I got a tenacious copy, the operating time is already 41 thousand hours (almost 5 years) in an almost constant 24/7 mode and not a single bad block has appeared. Cons below: - A small cache / buffer, which greatly sags the speed when performing a large number of small tasks, and although this is a problem for all HDDs, this is felt especially strongly. - Despite the background in the workplace, sometimes the disk is still audible, the copy is noisier than the declared 30 dB.
