Upgrade Your Laptop Storage with Western Digital Dell WD5000LPVX Blue SATA Hard Drive Review

the first one died 8 months after the purchase: pending sectors just started to appear, the data was read every other time. replaced under warranty lived two more and yesterday began to give out the same symptoms

I bought it as part of a laptop, but unfortunately the eternal brakes forced me to change the disk to a more advanced one. I bought a case for it and use it as an external drive for archives. He has been working in this capacity for almost three years now.

After 3 days of constant work, glitches appeared with the fact that it is not always determined, bad blocks and current pending appeared

There were 3 such disks. We didn't live for more than a month. Again, it's up to you to decide whether to buy or not. When I bought, they said that this is the "Good" disc in terms of Price / Quality ratio

The number of remapping operations is 451 and gradually degrades. The number of hours spent in the on state 1423. Yes, how can such a UG be put in laptops? In the old Hitachi laptop HTS545050A7E380 500GB, it has been ridden for more than 30,000 hours and is in perfect condition. I did not think that you can get dirty about WD.

In general, some sins can be forgiven for its reliability, since it is not bad for an entry-level, it is unlikely to be suitable for games, but it copes with other tasks, although it takes more time for this. Pros: Very tenacious, only there was no sho with him, so far no problems Got cons: But it’s a real problem with speed, I’ve had it since 2022 and then the speed seemed sufficient to me, although maybe I just didn’t work on really fast disks xs before, but now after a reboot, the disk more…

It was part of the accessories for the Acer 15 "laptop on the Celeron N3050 with 2GB of DDR3L RAM. and Windows 10 x64 on board)) is a clear overkill for such hardware.

I had five hundred on 3.5 and 2.5 - on the desktop it died after half a year of use as a system one, Victoria removes errors, but after installing the system it works until reboot and new errors appear. now only the 2nd section remains, but there is no desire to use this . and in the laptop, after 9 months of use (about 40 launches in total), the system crashed. Victoria removed the errors and lasted another ten launches and died completely, a sweet crunch and is not determined by anything…

This drive is usually installed in many ultra-budget ASUS laptops as the main system drive. So, for the system, it does not fit categorically. Windows starts up terribly slowly. However, by the time the review was written, it has been serving as a portable hard drive for the laptop in which it was originally installed for two years already. I stuffed it into a sled with USB 3.0. And you know what? Not so bad! This is more than enough for such a kind of file storage: watch a movie, save project…

I bought this creation to a friend in place 250, which, well, almost died (the small ones tried - the working laptop was dropped from the table). I can say so. The drive is really quiet. When copying lay on a wooden table and not a single sound was heard. The only thing that he worked was that when you touch him, you felt that he was spinning. As for the heat - 41 - 43 degrees after 3 hours of operation. The system works on it stably. I did not see any hang-ups and brakes. I recommend taking.

Alas, WD recommends itself very badly, they used to make high-quality hard ones, but now they just churn out the campaign. After working on the ACUCA laptop, he died for 1.2 years. Started to crumble. I tried to get the files from there, somehow I got it, even though the files were on a different partitioned logical drive, somehow I decided on my computer. And so it was good, most likely such a hard drive is not for moving, but it is better to use it in stationary mode.

The disk was purchased yesterday to replace a Western Digital 250 GB that had been used for 3 years in an Acer aspire one pro netbook. Of the pluses: it does not heat up, the laptop worked without a stand for 7 hours, the temperature shows 38 degrees. It works quietly, does not tupit, the system starts quickly. The disk is thin, 7 mm, native was about 9.5. Got up well. It's a little annoying that when the system starts, a small, barely audible, light "crunch" is heard and quiet rare clicks when

in general, not to say that it is bad, although the words "good" and "western digital" do not match the same. the speed of copying from it is confidently 100 megabytes per second, this is an excellent indicator, when copying to it, I did not measure the speed, but I think not much less. I have visited quite a few such corpses, I hope at least this one will not die so quickly. wd1600 was installed in front of it (I don’t remember the rest of the letters), but when the beech was turned on again…

Got pros: Has been on my laptop for 5 years (since purchase) Good budget model Cons below: Slow-packed enough, otherwise there would be no desire to buy something new

I took it back in 2022 for an acer laptop, to replace the suddenly deceased Seagate. I plowed the disk for almost five years, now Victoria's test shows about 60 sectors at 1.5s and about 300 sectors at 500ms. Nevertheless, the disk is still able to boot the system and even convert video (which, however, is not for long). I think that this product is worth its money, but there is always a chance of running into a marriage.

Bought as part of an MSI laptop. It was used only as a data storage, the system was on an SSD. Perhaps this is what killed the disk: "after 20 seconds of inactivity, it stops the rotation of the plates." That is, it constantly turned off for me, then spun up. However, I do not consider this a valid reason for a high-quality HDD to die in 9 months. By the way, according to the Internet, this drive does not have the ability to change the shutdown interval when idle. Many others have.

I really don't understand what the negative reviews are about. Here I am attaching a screenshot of SMART - with 7562 hours online there are no troubles and other problems (pah-pah). True, it is used not by the system, but by the second disk in the office thin client for storing all sorts of files. In general, an ordinary hard drive, in general I have been buying only WD for more than 10 years, in the house 5 drives are working only now and have never encountered problems so far.

It is paired with an SSD on a laptop, the noise is almost inaudible, if only the ear is brought close to the case. I poured data onto it from the WD5000BEVT for a couple of hours, the BEVT got very noticeably warm, the laptop case in the LPVX area remained cold. There is no loud clatter at stops, as on BEVT. Write speeds - reads did not measure, because they are not important, the disk is not a system one. There is still a little noise, but it does not bother even in complete silence.

The description says that SATA is 6 Gb / s, but here the speed is not higher than 100 MB per second. The average is 60 Mb / s, which when unpacking archives is the same as during video editing. 4 months of work, I did a test and found a lot of errors and also tried to fix them by remapping, but all programs wrote an error and not a single one could be fixed. They slipped it into an expensive laptop, I don’t recommend anyone to take such a disk
