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

I have put this in my PS3 Slim over 5 years ago, and more recently (this year) in my PS3 Super Slim. Physical installation was easy. The drive is snappy, I feel like it performs a bit better than the stock HDD, but I have no objective measurements to support that impression. This drive has been reliable in my Slim, which is why I bought it again when I wanted to upgrade the drive in my Super Slim. Im very happy with this harddrive.

I bought one of these to replace a hard drive that went bad in an old Toshiba Satellite laptop. It installed flawlessly. I have been using it for a month now without issue. It was definitely the cheaper option over buying an additional SSD for an old laptop that probably does not have many years left as its no longer upgradeable for Windows OS updates. The other option would have been completely replacing the laptop (which will come soon enough).

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

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

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.

Delivered in usps first class box, well packed. The disk looked new. Good bet for $20. Checked the speed and for any bad sectors. None found.

after I received this drive, I immediately looked up warranty info and this indeed has 3 + some years left on warranty (contrary to some others who reported they got a OEM drive). It secured well above average score on benchmarks and it is reasonably quiet. there was some resistance when I tried to insert it into the drive bay on my NUC but it went in nicely and got seated. I am happy with its performance. update: it has been making a constant fan like noise when the pc is on. Only occasionally I dont hear the noise. This is beginning to bother me as my NUC is very quiet otherwise (part of the reason why I bought a NUC). I dont know if there is any setting to silence this noise.

This drive just plugged right in and booted up just great!

This product (WD Blue 2TB Mobile Hard Drive), as almost all of the cheap HDDs on Amazon, this one falsely advertises a manufacturers warranty of two years. If a warranty is important to you, then youre being misled. These are almost always (Ive found none that are not, in a large search) a pulled OEM computer product with only (maybe) a reseller warranty included, but absolutely NO manufacturer warranty. Largely these devices are inaccurately described. Best case, youll find a reseller that offers a warranty themselves, worst case no warranty at all. ANY drive can wear out or develop bad sectors over time and many manufacturer offer a warranty to cover you for performance degradation or failure. Just to on OEM supplied drives. Apparently, this is a widespread practice of reselling these type devices among many similar products of different manufacture here on Amazon! Hence why they are cheap. No free lunch. Secondly, the drives being advertised as a new design, in some cases, may say that its using new SMR technology. This technology is commonly called Shingled but actually SMR is Shingled Magnetic Recording in either of two flavor. Heres the thing, in some cases the product is Device Managed and in several others (older designs?) Host Managed SMR. The ads dont say which, causing the need for further research. Neither flavor of SMR is new. Host managed many impose additional constraints on which device it works with and theres a question of the version of OS software might support the drive that may be a problem especially on older CPUs. I leave that research to you, buyers. Suffice it to say that SMR (commonly called shingling) has been in use since 2013 and PMR technology has gone the way of the Dodo. Why? Duh, its cheaper and denser tech. I recommend you perform a technology check, a manufacture date check and a warranty check (the latter on receipt) of any HDD you buy so you are fully informed. Make sure the device is returnable if not satisfied! HDDs in this size dont seem to appear on Amazon without either of two conditions that I dont want - Host Managed SMR and no warranty. Both I consider as defects in design, advertisement and undisclosed features. None are adequately, if at all, described in the ads. Cmon Amazon figure it out. Many of these new products sit on the shelves some having been made in 2013 and as OEM devices go to computer manufacturers for installation in new computers and other products. They have no warranty to the retail purchasers (even though the devices are specified as with one). The seller is expected to offer one. Few do so. Now manufacturers wanting new technology are reselling or dumping them to resellers and to you as they gather newer technology. OWC is one place to look for a warranted product. If you are looking for newer tech though, look into HAMR (Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording), in addition to SMR at an ever higher density HDD from several manufacturers (notably Seagate and a few others), especially in 2.5 inch drive technology. *UPDATE and Summary: I ended up with a Toshiba MQ04ABD-200 (the L200 series) from a reseller (OWC) thats actually new, with a 3 Year warranty. Not a pulled OEM product without one. Will register and/or confirm the warranty with Toshiba upon receipt. It was $25 more than the same product here on Amazon (free shipping though), but if it fails in a year or three, I will have recourse for an exchange from the manufacturer, while resellers of bulk packaged off-the-shelf discards, like the ones featured will be long gone. Knowing what I get, where its from and why its priced the way it is became an important bit of knowledge in buying storage devices.
