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 Pin Hung Lin

The performance is quite decent, the temperature is also within acceptable limits, but the noise from it is simply unbearable, and can be heard anywhere in the room. Vibration is also felt when touching the system unit. The hum is somewhat reminiscent of the sound of a CD spinning at 24-32x speed. Installing this hard drive through rubber pads improved the situation somewhat, but not to the usual level. In principle, if it is the only disk in the system, this will be enough. It works for me in tandem with the same vibrating friend - Toshiba DT01ACA100 (only this one is even worse), and together they give an interesting picture: due to a slight difference in rotation speeds, they gradually enter into resonance within 1-2 minutes, and the hum intensifies, and then during the same time they begin to compensate for each other's vibrations, and after 1-2 minutes there is silence, such a cycle. The test in Victoria 4.3 gave a good result. The read/write speed gradually decreases towards the end of the disk.
