WD Western Digital 2TB 2.5 128MB SATA III Hard Drive for Laptops, PS4 (WD20SPZX)

I chose this mechanical hard drive for use to back up specific files from a bunch different computers; I put it in a portable enclosure I can move from one machine to another. Why a mechanical drive? SSDs don’t have the track record for data longevity that I needed for this application. This is data I absolutely must keep, so the potential for an SSD’s nonvolatile memory chips to have any problems wasn’t something I wanted to deal with. Also, the price point for mechanical hard drives (from reliable brands/sources) is still lower than for similar-capacity SSDs (from reliable brands/sources). The drive was easy to install - my enclosure mimics a laptop’s hard drive bay - and it spun up and ran from the start without issues. This was a great choice for my uses, and I’d buy another if and when I need it.

Worked great

Worked on first try. Would buy again.

HDD works well. Bought it for my laptop but it didnt have a 2.5 bay. Lucky had a dead Transcend external that I replaced the dead HDD and expanded my storage

Quick service & delivery to Cyprus.. Im a very happy Chappie. Excellent all around!!.

Didnt get instructions about getting the Acronis drive backup/copy software as was listed in item description. I DO NOT want to pay monthly subscription price for the software I would use maybe once or twice a month. Too expensive for that.

This was to replace a dying exsternal HD. It worked with no issues.

This seller does have the real deal, due to others my have refurb drives they clank on system shuntdown. This one does not i been around and this is a good drive keep up the goow work selling the best if you slip it will ne bad thank you

I have mostly been buying toshiba drives but this one is nice and quiet (about the same noise level as toshiba) and twice as fast! I was super impressed with the speed. I have seen peaks of around 100 megabytes and sustained rates of 80 megabytes of both read and write. small and thin no problem fitting into my laptop. (keep in mind that many factors influence speed) I have had it for a few weeks now and no problems. tested it thoroughly before installing. only time will tell about its durability, but I have external western digital drives that have lasted for many years, no reason to think that this one wont be just as durable. I will update this review if I encounter any problems. June 2022

This was well worth the storage. All my ps4 library took only 1tb. I still have a lot of space for more
