Review on Western Digital WD Green SATA 1TB SATA WDS100T2G0A Solid State Drive by Mateusz Dbkowski ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Unsatisfactory, upset by this product.

Apparently I got a defective copy, I have not seen this in other reviews. My disk on a computer with a fairly low load (a normal home computer, they rarely play Civ6 on it, and this is probably the toughest load) started to issue bad sectors after 8 months after use (judging by the windows log), this was expressed in read errors. In theory, broken blocks for SSDs are a common thing, they should be able to predict this and replace worn blocks from the reserve from the inside, but either the reserve has been exhausted in these 8 months, or the disk is simply inadequate: according to SMART, it shows 0 replaced blocks and a bunch of read errors (the proprietary utility determined the latest firmware version for the SSD, but it gave an error during advanced SMART analysis). The number of bad blocks (512-byte) is about a thousand, but, of course, the disk was "wiped" in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bwindows system files, which is simply great. An SSD of another brand was bought to replace it, copying the image to it, taking into account errors, turned into hell: this infection does not give out any 450 MB / s for sequential reading, a maximum of 80 megabytes, and after a bunch of errors encountered, the speed drops to a terrible 13 megabytes per second. Often, copying gets into a puddle at all, the speeds are ridiculous even by the standards of the HDD of the mid-zero. Copying had to be interrupted, resumed from the same place, in a word - fun. Here I apparently met with an already known problem. Broken windows entirely on a disk of another brand did not really work, it had to be reinstalled . TL;DR for a year and a half, in the absence of a heavy load, the disk degraded in speed and was already covered with bad blocks. Definitely avoid this disc, and apparently this brand.

Pros
  • There are probably some: 1TB SSD for little money .
Cons
  • Speed ​​drawdown, broken sectors/blocks, marriage
