💾 WD Blue 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5 Inch Internal Hard Drive (Bare Drive) Review

For a full-size drive in an HP/Compaq case, the mounting screws just slide in and snap into place. I can change discs in minutes. Use it as a separate Linux drive to switch to and from different Linux operating systems.

What should be with the first boot of the processor, a good BIOS drive configuration and a clean format. The hard drive has worked flawlessly so far!

Exact replacement for a 500GB WD hard drive which was the max capacity limit on my old desktop and for under $30, delivered in 2 days. 2 year warranty with excellent documentation.

Western Digital is my disc selection company. I can count on them to deliver a good product regardless of the manufacturer. I've only had one hard drive failure in 15 years of using blue and red drives, and that was my own failure. Let's see if this party lasts. Solid state drives may be faster, but hard drives are more reliable. I'm looking for performance and longevity, not upload and download speed, and I thank WD for the reliability.
