Reliable Storage Solution: Western Digital WD Green WD30EZRS 3 TB 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Review

Great hard! Ideal for data storage! I use it in my computer to store the video library in Blue Ray format! Recently bought a second one! Very satisfied! As for the negative reviews: no one is safe from marriage . ))))

At one time there was the cheapest 3 terabyte, I took two for data storage, one died a year ago a week after the end of the warranty, the second is still working. What's the catch - dead made in Malaysia, working in Thailand. There is another 2 terabyte Green, also still working and also Thai. So I advise you to pay attention to the place of production.

This hard drive has the largest volume for a reasonable price (hitach drives are the largest by 25% - 4 Gb, and cost 2 times more), so this is the best choice for storage Different pros: Large volume, Reliability due to lower spindle speed and energy efficiency Cons below: With such a density of records, one can speak about reliability only today. The statistics of returns after a couple of years is unknown, but it is better to hope for the best. All advanced models of hard drives had a high…

the disk was taken for external usb-storage. after installation, a strong vibration was found (the box lies on the table, and almost bounces). while all tests pass normally. everyone is still talking about some kind of problem with frequent head parking - I haven’t studied it yet.

In comparison with WD RE4, especially with WD HLHX 600 Gb - "heaven and earth": no rattle, no noise. The disk is 3/4 busy, used for file sharing. Now you can sleep at night With its pros: Completely silent! Heating is almost imperceptible. Volume. Cons below: Installation is one big problem. If without a controller board, then only with the help of the Paragon program (thanks to Alexander for the advice, otherwise I would have to hand it over), for which I honestly laid out 600 (the free beta…

Not suitable for storing valuable data. First disc 3948 hours of operation: - unstable sectors: 3; - unrecoverable sector errors: 3. The second disc 3942 hours of operation, no problems identified. The third disk is about 1500 hours of operation, many bad blocks, does not pass the extended test of WD utilities.

Based on SMART data, one of these two drives lasted 385 days for me. A month ago, the first READ ERROR showed, now here's the second one. The CAMRT test recommends replacing the disk, which I will probably do. There were no particular complaints about the work. True, a year is, of course, not enough. Worked in a normal temperature regime of 36-38C.

After some time, the second WD drive also failed, but already RED and on 6Tb. It is fortunate that there are no more WD products in work computers. Now everything is calm.

In Windows 7, the controller is not needed. We go into disk management and create a dynamic disk, then there will be a total volume of 3 TB. If you make a logical one, then the maximum will be 2 TB. The disk has been serving for 8 years, I use it for storing media data, music, video, images. SMART after 8 years is still normal.

In order to be able to use the diskcompletely, you need to score on Acronix. Forget about it right now! I banged my head against the keyboard for a long time, but I found a solution. You will need ASUS Disk Unlocker. You can read all about it here: . Php? number=777&faq_topics=HDD If you break your head a little, you can set everything up quickly. But the first impression will still be spoiled .

I took a second-hand disk, I was lucky to it for 2.500, the average price for them is 3 and a little (which I also consider optimal for such a volume). I was looking specifically for a disk with a "mileage" of 8-12 thousand hours, because. with a small amount of operating time, there is a high chance of marriage (as can be seen from the reviews in this topic), with a "mileage" of about 20 thousand, it is already possible that the disk will begin to crumble from natural wear and tear (not a…

4 such disks spin around the clock in the network storage, they behave perfectly. They make a little noise, but these are not SSD drives to work completely unnoticed, therefore, within acceptable noise levels during operation, they do not get very hot. On the recommendation, I tried to install a Seagate Barracuda (3TB) drive, which, according to all reviews, due to its 3-pancake capacity, should have been quieter and faster, in fact turned out to be "noisier" than all the others, for this…

I took in 2TB and 3TB versions for storing movies, etc. The next one I prefer is WD Red for software. Pros: The speed is sufficient to watch 20GB movies from it without brakes and quite quickly launch the games installed on it. Chose by price. For 3-5 years, there was not a single problem. Has some cons: Sometimes when accessing (for example, opening in Explorer), it dulls for a couple of seconds, as if waking up from sleep mode. Which justifies the name Green. For some, this may be critical.

I have a multimedia player XtreamerPro (2 disks of 3tb each). Huge video library. I decided to buy another 3TB drive. Installed and only managed to download most of the movies to disk, as he quietly disappeared from the system while watching and is no longer seen either on the computer or in the player. Not defined. Only worked for 2 weeks. The most annoying thing is that he lost a huge amount of wonderful classic films in excellent quality. Don't hesitate to buy this CD.

In normal NASes, they work without parking lots, Synology, for example, fixed this lag in this model a year ago. A year later, SMART at my screw writes information about 8000 parking lots. I have had these drives for about six months in Synology DS411j, my friend has the same ones, only in DS410 (we bought screws together, he took out spent 1TB from his NAS, and I bought my 411 new) I inserted them into the storage and everything from the first day works without clicks and other nonsense, the

Bought for personal storage, 2 pieces work (RAID1). After 2.5 years SLA 95% (round the clock 24/7/365) and during this period one hard drive began pouring about 40 pcs into the smart Raw_Read_Error_Rate, and 4 pcs Multi_Zone_Error_Rate. All Seagates and other models turned out to be very noisy and not reliable (Red - less than a year and Purple - 1.5 years). For me, the best choice for a home file washer.

I bought this disk for the first time (I used only 2TB before). Attracted the size of 3TB and the price. I really respect the products of this manufacturer (Western Digital) and this series (Green). I have not broken a single 2TB disk and they work very well - I am 100% satisfied. But with 3TB there was a hitch: the sellers did not warn about problems with it. As a result, I pretty much suffered with him and got nervous! The problem is known and well described on this forum (I should have…

used it as a disk for backups. The disk was immediately placed in an external case and formatted to 2TB (the old OS could not split into more) In the course of work, it was sometimes not detected, but this was treated by turning it off / on. A week ago I decided to format it to 3TB, for this I bought another disk and began to overwrite data on it, but during the copying process errors began to pop up that some files could not be read. I didn't pay attention to it. but then the disk stopped…

the disk comes with a controller board, be sure to check with the seller! under the seven through SATA3 it starts up without problems (mother P6X58D-E) 6Gb / s is the data transfer rate on the SATA port! the disk itself has a physical data transfer rate of 600 Mb / s, which corresponds to 60-70 Mb / s quite a working screw, but until they solve the issue with the MBR, not through crutches (additional controller board), you should not take it under Windows without urgent need

Disc is like a disc. At first, I thought that the bad blocks were imaginary and the problem was due to the cable, or the sata port on the motherboard. I changed the cable and stuck the disk into the port where the working list used to be, and the worker temporarily removed it. The problem is that Victoria began to throw errors during the WDC_WD30EZRX-00DC0B0_WD-WMC1T1107430 test. It all started with the fact that the partition on the disk began to connect very slowly. then I checked the fs…
