I own this old man (ha, sounds of course: D) for many years, I bought it from my hands in 2022-12. Didn't let me down even once, and loaded Windows and worked as a file storage. And now in the main computer it works as a repository of video sources. Victorias and crystals say that everything is chiku-puki to this day, and about 20 thousand hours have been accumulated. I'll probably buy another one or a pair. There is also a blue wd for 500GB, but that's another story (also with a happy ending).

Bought as one of the main hard drives. I will never buy Green. I thought to take Black, but after weighing everything, it was Blue that took. Worth the money, the quality is top notch. During his work, he proved himself to be a real man - faithful and you can always rely on him) As for noise, there is none. I work daily with sound, isolation in the room, etc. - does the job perfectly. With a heavy load: 3 browsers are open, after effects, photoshop, illustrator are working, torrent download…

The effect of the purchase is twofold. 1) On the one hand, it works perfectly, quickly, does not make noise and does not vibrate, passes smart and tests for "bads" without a single error. 2) On the other hand, I could not put Windows XP SP 3 on it. I killed two days. I tried 3 different distributions (1 of which successfully installed on my second broom), two of them included the latest ates and builds of sata drivers. Not a single Windows was installed - during installation, a blue screen…

I bought a hard drive for 36 days and at first there was no noise at all, I was really happy with both the speed and the absence of noise, but recently strong noises began at any load, I can hear it directly and it's very annoying, because this hard drive is the noisiest in my PC and at the beginning, I discovered by Victoria through dos 11 green sectors and I was not happy about this, because the previous hard drive was Toshiba p300 1tb 7200 and at first there were also green sectors and also…

He was the owner of two such discs: 2022 and 2022 of release. The newer one died after a month of use, and was replaced by a Seagate Desktop with similar specifications. The other one works great and surpasses the new Seagate in all respects (especially noise). Unfortunately, a huge percentage of defects is a problem for all HDD manufacturers today, so I put an optimistic four. The drive is very good as a fast and quiet data storage in addition to a bootable SSD.

I just bought this disc and I think it would not be superfluous to unsubscribe, I chose between similar discs of this brand and the red and green series, in principle, the price does not differ much 200-300, but after reading the reviews for myself, I found out that everything breaks down and everyone also makes noise, who likes I'm lucky, I decided to choose the middle ground (this is the blue series) I messed up during installation, but it's more the fault of the assemblers of my computer…

I took 2 disks for myself in 2022, they work in raid 0 in constant gaming, there have never been problems for 5 years, the operating time is more than 20k hours, they work like new. And everyone who writes that these drives die often - so let them buy a normal power supply, where there are no drawdowns on the 12v line and your drives will serve for years. In the future, I will also take disks from this manufacturer.

To be honest, I'm surprised by the negative reviews. I bought two such disks for a home computer, combined them into a RAID0 array (Linux, mdadm), got one disk 2 TB in size and twice the speed of a regular disk, I've been using it for the second year, I'm happy like an elephant. The program says that the total read / write speed: 312.6 / 211.6. No failures were observed.

The performance is quite decent, the temperature is also within acceptable limits, but the noise from it is simply unbearable, and can be heard anywhere in the room. Vibration is also felt when touching the system unit. The hum is somewhat reminiscent of the sound of a CD spinning at 24-32x speed. Installing this hard drive through rubber pads improved the situation somewhat, but not to the usual level. In principle, if it is the only disk in the system, this will be enough. It works for me in…

Works almost three months, normally. Stands in the cheapest Chinese building mini tower. No vibrations, no noise, no whistling, nothing. It scratches itself regularly and that's it. After the grinding Hitachi, it's just a song. My copy is Taiwanese assembly, not Malaysian. On the second computer there is also a 500 gig WD, the green series is also a song, but this one seems to me faster.

I needed an inexpensive, but at the same time fast hdd for the system and file storage, because I didn’t want to fork out for ssd. The choice fell on this model and did not lose. The speed of work was pleasantly surprised, the noise from the heads is not audible. I was afraid for the marriage that they wrote here, but I came across a good copy. Country of origin - Thailand, made in May 2022. So far I'm happy with everything. The money came out 3300r.

Unlike the old models with a volume of 250-500GB, which, despite the difficult work at elevated temperatures, continue to work for decades, this model, carefully protected from temperature overheating, vibrations, etc., worked for a relatively short time. However, I bought myself a replacement, the red WD series, in the hope that this breakdown was just a misunderstanding, and not a pattern.

It used to be WD5000AAKS. Six months later, his boot sector began to deteriorate regularly and he had to restore the system. It heated up to 40-50 degrees. Got this one under warranty. In the SC, the old one was checked and changed without problems. The new one heats up much less. The speed of work is normal, but the reliability is below the plinth. I'll carry it again for an exchange until it's completely covered. If you use it as a data storage, it will do. For the system - it is fraught.

Looks like a decent product so far. Used it to restore a Windows 10 desktop where an old WD hard drive suddenly failed. I have a lot of WD drives and they are usually pretty reliable, although almost all drives fail sooner or later. I had a backup that cannot be restored. It was a backup software error, not the hard drive I was trying to restore to.

I bought this unit a while ago and had no idea it was not working properly until I ran out of disk space very quickly. Windows didn't recognize him. However, the bios worked, so I called WD and explained my problem to them. They then told me that I had indeed bought a used one and since I bought it through Amazon there was nothing they could do. I've heard it's a great product, but I strongly recommend not buying PC products through Amazon.

When you promote a new disc, sell the new disc. Basic disc shown with a full installation of Windows already done and the remaining folders. The fact that the user file hasn't changed and says September 19th and a fresh install of Windows was added three months later tells me it's not a new drive. When I received it there was a large sticker that said 2 year warranty but only listed 1 year. There is a folder with warranty information for the Lenono computer listed for 2016. I have to send it…
