Western Digital 1TB WD Blue Mobile Hard Drive HDD - 5400 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 128 MB Cache, 2.5 - WD10SPZX

I bought this to replace the 1TB drive inside of my laptop because I needed more space. Ive been using it as a storage drive and I dont really notice a performance switching from the old 7200RPM Hitachi drive. Ill update this review if the SMR technology starts showing its ugly side Side notes: If you want a CMR drive, AFIK the Samsung M9T/Seagate ST2000LM003-ST2000LM005 drives are the only CMR 9.5 2TB drives. Despite buying mine from Amazon Warehouse, I was somehow able to register with WD for warranty.

Easy to install. Merit my 10 year old laptop going so I dont have to replace it yet.

i would rather the segate but this one is usually reliable

An amazing hardrive a bit slow but works well for my PS4 Slim

Replaced crashed 1TB drive easly and working fine.

Very nice and quiet non SSD hard drive for our PS3 Slim that works well and that we can recommend for any PS3 owner looking for a large capacity hard drive upgrade. The 1TB space is truly a major upgrade from the stock hard drive that was originally installed in our PS3 Slim. Physically installed without issue, the overall upgrade was relatively easy requiring the latest PS3 firmware to be installed via a USB stick first after that formatting and restoring from backup was super smooth. As others have stated this is not a retail hard drive, it is OEM and thus the Western Digital 2-year warranty is not valid due to Western Digital policies. The hard drive however is of course covered by the Amazon 30-day policy.

WD storage solutions are one of the best options in the market, and their software also helps to set up everything swiftly

Successful replacement of the internal 500gb drive on my Xbox One S with this 1TB model. Nobody mentions compatibility, but Ive never been able to get Seagate drives to work. Some Xboxes come with WD blues from the factory so thats a very safe bet. Had Toshiba drives work as well, which also come factory in Xboxes. Do some research if youre going it, but its dead easy and can be done up to 2TB

While an SSD is better. This HD is cheap and reliable for data storage.

The assistant app was wonderful, I bought a samsung SSD that didnt end up working, but this one did the trick.
