Review on ๐Ÿ’ฝ High-Performance Western Digital 160GB SATA Caviar SE 7200RPM 8MB WD1600JS by Adam Dziarnowski แ Œ

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The price/quality ratio is great, I will buy again.

The disk served and serves me to this day (manufactured in 2022), somehow I installed the monitoring utility from under the CrystalDiskInfo OS and it showed a yellow ALARM status level, there were unstable sectors and uncorrectable sector errors (7) . time passed and the values โ€‹โ€‹\u200b\u200bare not increased. I had to buy a replacement in the form of 1 terabyte of the red series of the same company, I transferred the information without problems and sent the hard to the shelf, so to speak, to retire . Yesterday it suddenly caught fire to put and try Linux OS, but I didnโ€™t want to put it on one disk with Windows, dough shish and mulberries, I remember the forgotten old man))) In general, when I formatted it from under Windows, the unstable sectors disappeared, but the unrecoverable sector errors remained (7). . ran the classic remap test and voila: there are NO reassignment of sectors and their errors! In the end, I ran it again only Advanced remap - again nothing critical and serious. On an 11-digit scale: Hdd Tem perature - value 7 , and power on time - value. 8 (such as the operating time approaches 20220), the rest of the indicators - almost all show the value. 11 except for two that have a value of 10! Agree, not the worst result :) Showed screenshots to a familiar programmer (he was surprised that disks of a much fresher release showed a much worse result). With a response time of 5 ms - 1000156 sectors or whatever they are, with a response 20 ms - 220857, 50 ms - TOTAL 2 SECTORS! Even my used earphone from 2022 showed several sectors with a response of 200ms during the test, and this is the WD Red series that is considered reliable. After the tests, I load the OS and CrystalDiskInfo again swears at bad sector errors (only there are already 5 of them and not 7), but I donโ€™t pay attention to it anymore, because. I trust Victoria HDD more and a programmer friend of the same opinion :) In general, if it werenโ€™t for this Linux, my hard would have been lying on the shelf and this review would not have happened. In any case, this hard deserves this flattering review))) I hope it will rewind as much .

Pros
  • long service life, high-quality workmanship respectively: Number of inclusions 3651, total operating time: 18348 hours (764 days and 12 hours).
Cons
  • more noticeable vibration and noise level compared to the red series of the same manufacturer (but WD RED is 5200 rpm and this one is 7200), and the disk, after all, has been 11 years old, of which 10 years it has honestly reeled off! Slightly elevated temperature of 40 degrees, WD Red for example shows 31 degrees.
