Review on Western Digital WD5000AAKS: The High-Capacity 500GB Hard Drive You Need by Athit Janhiran ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

There is a WDC WD5000AAKX-60U6AA0. Bought in 2022-2022. The disk is divided into 2 - system and for games. It has been working all these years. I did defragmentation once every 4 years, and I didn’t observe any problems (I won’t say that I followed it closely, but there were no red or similar sectors in my eyes). The disc has been working faithfully for many years. The write / read speed is not great - Windows takes a long time to load. I can't say anything about the noise - there are 2 hard, 1 external and very noisy coolers. It can be noted the reliability of this disk (the use of both Windows and games). Low speed (time spares no one).

Pros
  • life time
Cons
  • write/read speed
