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

This HD was bought initially to be the storage unit for an Over-The-Air recording device. When the OTA unit turned out to be defective it was successfully returned, but I kept the HD for other uses. When I did try to use it as an external HD for my computer it could not be recognized by the system. After much troubleshooting, conclusively proved it was a bad HD, but I had already exceeded the time allowed to be able to return it... Moral of the story: Immediately confirm that anything bought on Amazon is good... they have a fantastic return policy, but there are limitations.

Easy to install, pleanty of storage.

Bought this to replace an SSD in a laptop I was selling, works great, no delay or lag on reading/writing. Customer very pleased overall.

Bought this for my brothers ps3 slim for an upgrade from the current drive, runs much faster and quieter. Cheers!

I used this to replace a toshi hybrid 500g drive. It cloned to perfection and I rebooted. The reboot on a win10 lp took about 20 min. I had done this procedure before and it took less time before. After quite a while the hdd light stopped flashing nad I decided to check the drive with win 10 tools. Scandisk found errors so I let it go through the correction phase and after many hours it ended and rebooted to the normal desktop. I checked and win reported no more drive errors. I checked it against another drive and performance numbers were ok. My 4 star rating comes from the win10 bootup time. It is horrendous. 15 min is too long to wait for the hdd light to finally clear on my laptop. BUT after tlight clears it is the most silent hard drive I have ever had. No accesses for hours of web surfing. Truly a twilight zone conundrum. I give the 4 stars because of the slow boot but once it finishes this drive is a freak of silence and performance.

Probablemente debido a la distancia del envío el producto llegó dañado. Inicialmente el laptop lo reconoce y en la información del disco todo estaba bien. no tenía horas de uso ni nada por el estilo. Al empezar a guardar la información lo noto lento y que se congelaba, luego dejó de reconocerlo por momentos. Entre eso y que estuve revisando cómo hacer la devolución empezó a hacer ruidos fuertes y tuve que desconectarlo, traté de probar si mi computador lo reconocía una última vez y cuando lo traté de encender no me dejaba ni arrancar mi equipo.

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.

Great for ps3

I had a 1tb drive in my Dell 5587 laptop, and I had long considered replacement options. While a SSD would have been better, they are just not affordable yet in 2tb. I found this 5400 rpm 2 tb drive by WD which is the same 5400 stats as the drive I had. And since I just installed a WD-Blue in my desktop, I knew it was a great choice. Installation is pretty straight forward and so far the drive works as advertised. I will update my review if anything changes. On a side note, I will not buy any seagate drives as everyone I have had over the last three years failed.

Installation was a breeze. The drive is working perfectly. Very happy. Almost bought this at Best Buy, but since it wasnt in stock, the wait would have been the same as Amazon, so I ordered from here. Very pleased with this drive. Its fast. Its quiet. I hope I can still report the same a year or two from now.
