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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The worst product for your money, I do not recommend it to anyone.

Actually in the attached screenshot, a summary of the status including the operating time and the number of starts. But at the same time, the OS crashed tightly, refusing to boot. Moreover, I connected this ugly to a working computer with a second disk, my OS already started loading and he began to try to restore this disk. And that's all, the OS also died on my hard drive, hanging at the stage of restoring this disk. But the benefit worked recovery on mine. How the failure of this disk and the operating system on another disk is interconnected, I did not understand. Actually, I received information on its condition by connecting it through the docking station. And the only way I managed to do was to diagnose and restore the boot sector, and, fortunately, there were backups of what, in fact, because of what I had to do information recovery. Of the interesting things, with the help of a thermograph, I discovered excessive overheating of the microcircuits on the board, of course, the hard disk thermal sensor impudently lies that everything is fine with it. Yes, and under load on it, an uncharacteristic sound comes from it. But as you can see in the screenshot, the SMART disk claims that everything is fine with it.

Pros
  • nothing.
Cons
  • It crashes in a very peculiar way. Details in the comments.
