Review on WD Blue 1TB Mobile Hard Drive - High Speed 5400 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 2.5 Inch Size - WD10JPVX by Wiktor ygado ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, but you can find better.

The hard drive was in the default configuration in the Acer 772G laptop. Worked from 2022 to January 2022. Since 2022, the laptop began to slow down when loading the OS and when working with the standard MS office software package, for example, Word, Excel, and it slowed down when watching video files. The operating conditions were like a laptop)), i. E. I often carried it with me in my backpack - this fact is important, because the physical impact (shaking) affects the HDD, unlike the SSD. By the end of 2022, it became inconvenient to work on a laptop due to such brakes, loading the disk 100% according to the data in the task manager is almost regular. Of course, there were attempts on the Internet to "optimize" the system by disabling various background OS services and removing other software, but this did not help. In January I bought an SSD to install the OS, I decided to leave the HDD as storage, but when I downloaded a file larger than 600MB to the HDD, the laptop would freeze, there were three attempts. As a result, I decided to clear it, format it and start everything from scratch. I started uploading files (~ 500GB) to the cloud, but I didn’t have time. The laptop freezes, and then it starts to give the error "default boot device missing .", the HDD is no longer detected in the BIOS, while the OS from the SSD did not boot, although it was in priority. Pulled out the HDD, left only the SSD - everything loaded normally. Here is such a story.
