The quality was generally satisfied, there were minor shortcomings.

It used to be WD5000AAKS. Six months later, his boot sector began to deteriorate regularly and he had to restore the system. It heated up to 40-50 degrees.
Got this one under warranty. In the SC, the old one was checked and changed without problems. The new one heats up much less.
The speed of work is normal, but the reliability is below the plinth. I'll carry it again for an exchange until it's completely covered.
If you use it as a data storage, it will do. For the system - it is fraught.

Pros

It is not heated much: 30-35 degrees. Noise is almost inaudible. A year later, not a single bad sector.

Cons

Almost a year has passed. The system regularly crashes like on an old disk and you have to reinstall it. Ultra DMA CRC Error > 3500, most likely the problem is in it (the old second disk works without problems on the same cables, although the whole thing is messed up). The old disk is 500GB, and I read on the internet that WD is only reliable up to 500GB. Above this - the service life is not more than 1.5 years. Spin Up time > 1700, which indicates a problem with the motor or bearings.
