Review on WD Caviar Green 1.5TB SATA Intellipower Hard Drive with 32MB Cache (Bulk/OEM) for Desktop - WD15EADS by Mateusz Rzeczycki ᠌

Use only as a long-term data store. Install OS on this screw only as a last resort! Got pros: + High read speed (up to 100 or more MB / s in real conditions) has been preserved to this day. + No problems with storing and reading data. + Does not overheat. In idle, the temperature is 34 degrees, in active work it reaches 38-40. + Quiet. It is not audible at all against the background of the rest of the working kit. Cons below: - A year after the purchase, the write speed dropped significantly (at best, up to 20 MB / s, but often drops to shameful less than 10 MB / s). - Unsuitable for running the OS (brakes and system freezes are possible, sometimes they may or may not be, when you're lucky).
