Review on Upgrade Your Laptop Storage with Western Digital Dell WD5000LPVX Blue SATA Hard Drive by Micha Ambroziak ᠌

Bought as part of an MSI laptop. It was used only as a data storage, the system was on an SSD. Perhaps this is what killed the disk: "after 20 seconds of inactivity, it stops the rotation of the plates." That is, it constantly turned off for me, then spun up. However, I do not consider this a valid reason for a high-quality HDD to die in 9 months. By the way, according to the Internet, this drive does not have the ability to change the shutdown interval when idle. Many others have.
