Review on WESTERN DIGITAL WD3200BPVT Scorpio Blue 320GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5 Internal Notebook Hard Drive - Reliable Storage for Laptops by Amphai Nanthaklahg ᠌

Quality is disappointing, the product is bad.

I have already gathered a whole collection (four disks) of this model from friends and acquaintances. Three drives died after 1-2 years of not very active use. One lived for 3 years, but still covered himself in the end. In general, everything would be fine if he did not die so suddenly, taking data with him to the grave. Experience shows that the WD3200BEVT and WD3200BPVT models behave in a similar way.

Pros
  • Cheap, relatively economical
Cons
  • Not particularly fast, low reliability, sometimes noisy
