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 Hng Quang ᠌

The system is on the SSD, and the HDD is for files. Heavy games began to run almost three times faster than my former WD Green 500 aacs with 16 MB cache on the same SATA 3, which, after 17,000 hours of operation for 9 years, began to jerk its heads in one place and constantly slow down due to everything 20 bad sectors! After buying the WD BLUE 1.0 EZEX, I immediately pasted a construction double-sided adhesive tape on a soft foam base on the sides, (on the photo) I made holes for the bolts so that you could see where to tighten it and installed it very tightly in the basket of the system unit, screwed it up - and as a result, no vibrations and noise. A short sound of disk spin-up is heard and silence again, despite 6 coolers inside the system unit under PWM control and reobas. The WIN 7 system itself turns off the disk when it is not in use and there is even more silence. Checked crystal disk info after installation. There are no bads, positioning errors, too, the disk stands securely. During operation, the system unit does not move, so there is nothing to break inside. I paid 3,500 for the disc, the date of its production is November 2022, and I bought it six months later. Rescued data from an old WD Green by loading the new drive in less than half. (full volume 931 gig) I have been using it for less than a month at the time of May 2022, I am satisfied with everything, it was not in vain that I bought it, I feel a huge difference with my previous HDD. Hope it lasts a very long time.
