Western Digital 500GB WD Black Performance Internal Hard Drive HDD - 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache, 3.5" - Reliable storage for optimized performance Review

Very light, my previous one weighed 650 grams without packaging. And this one is less than 500 grams. To be heard, you need to put it near your ear. All the bad reviews are written by the wrong people. Below is a photo of the temperature. So I'll dispel their facts about it.

If you do not put the system on it, then at the moment it is a good disk for me. I will try in the near future to transfer the system to my old Hitachi, which does not have such drawdowns in speed.

I recommend this HDD due to its combination of advantages. It will also be ideal in tandem with an SSD: the system and programs fly on the SSD, and your files lie on the "black" and do not strain the brakes during operation. Got pros: The main super advantage of this HDD is that it has a 5 year warranty. Now there is a very negative situation with screws on the market - the percentage of defects is huge for all manufacturers and now you need to navigate not only by technical characteristics…

Pros: seems to be fast, after several months of work it shows reading 160-180mb / sec, I could not check the record now Cons below: after a few months it turned out that he began to vibrate something like a fan

A lot lighter than my previous one, which weighed in at 650 grams unpackaged. And this one is less than 500 grams. To be heard, you need to put it near your ear. All the unfavorable reviews are written by the incorrect people. A snapshot of the current weather conditions may be seen below. I'll debunk the myths they've spread about it.

Very good and reliable HDD. I divided the disk into two logical ones: under the system and under the programs / games, the HDD showed itself perfectly. It heats up within normal limits, it heated up to about 45 degrees as much as possible, but this problem is easily solved by a cooler. I stopped using it as a system only because I transferred the system to an SSD. Has some pros 1. Fast hard drive. I used it as a system one for Win7, and later Win10. 2. Reliable. Been running for 5 years now,

Bought this hard based on what 1. Western digitals type best quality 2. Black series is the fastest and most reliable Even after installing Windows 7 Ultimate x86, it stopped loading and is seen in the BIOS. I am extremely dissatisfied with this hard drive, tomorrow I will carry it to change to Toshiba 1000GB 64MB Its pros: Fast from what quickly passes cleaning and defragmentation Got cons: All the time writes errors blue screens 0x00000077 every day pops up 0x0000004F, etc. The price for…

I bought 2 such disks, they work for almost a year. One plows like a moose at a temperature of 30 gr. 53 gr. this despite the fact that I went to write a review on and that’s it, I made an image of the system until it’s too late, and now, in anticipation of the unknown, most likely a new disk came kapets (this despite the fact that this computer is turned on by parents 2 times a week to see, read the news.) These are pies one WD flies games etc. and the second one probably doesn’t have much…

I use 2 such disks in a RAID1 array. Still, there is still distrust of SSD (lost data twice). I decided not to take risks this time and created an array for storage. Memories in the form of photos, as well as valuable files, are more important than absolutely any advantage in terms of speed, although this particular model does not cause any complaints in terms of speed. Definitely recommend to buy

At the time of writing the review, the operating time is 44578 hours, which is about 5 years in total. Initially, he worked for about three years in a disgusting case without normal cooling. Cleaning of the system unit took place at best, once a month. Constant blows with chairs on the system unit. During this time, Hitachi and Seagate drives died. Died drive WD Green series. There is only one handsome man left.

I took it around 2022-2022, for 2022 with a penny. now it costs 6709. the screw has worked for me for more than 50k hours, the condition is still perfect. the load is not bad, mostly bots work on the computer for days. in the afternoon, in parallel, the game load was also added, and in the games of 30 thousand hours, no less was spent. + Windows on it stood all this time. buy ssd for Windows, hands reached only in August 2022.

He died slowly, at first there were problems with Windows, he sinned on Windows, then he had to change Windows 7, there were too frequent failures, the computer did not boot or loaded for a very long time and not the first time. Formatted, did not help. But - worked. And he did not lose his speed in work. I launched Victoria for the evening, and from the middle of the disk he imposed broken clusters. Remap didn't help. Temporarily put an old Seagate 250GB in its place until the prices for disks

I bought Hitachi to replace the clicky, vibrating and buzzing Hitachi, but alas, when I brought it home, I was not delighted, because there is little vibration, despite landing on vibration-damping screws, and plus, I hear how the disk is spinning. I am assembling a silent car (replaced all kinds of carlsons), and the loudest element is the railway. from it a low-frequency rumble is heard at a distance of a meter, pressing on the ears. Perhaps my nit-picking, but then how does everyone write…

ated the system. OCZ Vertex 2 was changed to 4 (for the system), and WD for games-programs. For downloads and other WD green. Works fast. Swap file 8 GB does not bother WD like old. I advise everyone! 150 mb. the rate at which data is transferred from the buffer to disk. Seniors models and the twin WD5002AALX has a speed of 120 mb (slower). This is not indicated in the characteristics on the market!
