Review on πŸ’Ύ WD Black Performance Mobile Hard Drive: 1TB, 7200RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 2.5" Form Factor by John Fenton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bad sector on new drive

Unbelievable after loading about 100GB of data onto the drive with it to edit and export about 10 photos in Lightroom only for the thing to crash. I had set up three partitions, two volumes died for some strange reason. Windows, Linux, UBCD, nothing helped. When I tried to diagnose the drive, it found that there was already a bad sector. I'll clean up the disk, repartition it to my needs and try again. If I have more problems, it will come back as a defective product. .I just can't believe this is a WD product. A dog used to walk past me and tripped over the cable from an external hard drive. This disk (8 years ago) fell on the carpet and died. I lost all the photos I digitized from my childhood, adolescence and early adulthood. Believe me, I know how to handle these things (cleanly and preferably never while they're on). end of discourse. I bought this through an original OEM dealer - they themselves offer a 5 year warranty (according to the sticker they put on the drive itself). I'm marking it just in case anyone else has problems.

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Big and bulky
