This drive, this particular one, performs beyond typical specs in a variety of tests so for value/performance it has been a great purchase. Having been involved in both large & small quantity purchases since the pc level hard drives first arrived I can only say they have been a commodity item for at least 2 decades. The terabyte size drives have matured as we are moving into the newer realm of the multi-gigabyte drives 3, 4GB & higher at the consumer level. All the major manufacturers tend to provide excellent products as do some of the very small providers. The only problem that may come up with the smaller provider might be the sale of high capacity drives at bargain basement prices because they did not really meet the specifications of the original manufacturer. In that case reliability could be a real issue but you may get lucky and get one that stands out from the crowd & works really well. At those prices it becomes the luck of the draw. Also, to be fair, a major manufacturer can just have a bad hair day only to find a group made it out the doer that just don't really measure up. They often don't find this out until the drives start coming back having failed. Overall the chances of a defective drive made by one of the major manufacturers is just much smaller than one provided by one of the smaller companies. I, personally, use WD Seagate, Toshiba, IBM, Maxtor, etc. and can say they all have had their good, and bad, days but overwhelmingly good days. Just really remember that heat kills so keep your drives as cool as you can, make sure your fans are working & the airflow is not restricted. Don't allow dust to build up as it insulates the drives & keeps the heat in creating a very unhappy drive. Generally if the drive is to hot to keep your fingers on it find a way to cool it down as it will fail much sooner at that heat level. If you have access to some of the software that will let you know the running temperature, of the newer drives, I use CrystalDiskInfoPortable which is free as one of the many free software packages found on www.PortableApps.com. While not a professional package it does let me know how hot my drives are running so I will know if trouble may be on the way. It also provides a great deal of additional information if you want more data to review. All the software on PortableApps is legally free & is part of the Open Software system so enjoy &, if you want, pass the word around. I hope Amazon doesn't get to upset over the posting of their web site but it is free & I have no interest beyond helping others with its posting.

In 2015, I purchased the Western Digital 1TB WD Blue PC Internal Hard Drive, and wow; this workhorse is driving away like a champ even after all these years. How many products nowadays can you buy and genuinely expect them to still work over five years later? Although it's an HDD that may not compete with the speed of modern SSDs, it offers phenomenal storage capacity at an unbeatable price. With HDDs, you are granted solidity and reliability, always crucial elements in handling data. As it was said - "Old is Gold." But bear in mind, if speed and performance are your primal needs, then SSD could be preferable. The major bell ringer for me regarding the Western Digital 1TB HDD is the excellent value for money. This budget-friendly beef of storage is perfect for those looking to get an enormous bang for their buck. The drive still functions exceptionally well, six years post-purchase, without any hiccups. It also offers valuable features like Free Acronis True Image WD Edition cloning software which eases data migration. It's also important to note that the WD Blue PC Hard Drive boasts a Data Recovery Service feature. In terms of compatibility, it readily gels well with desktop systems, ensuring a seamless experience right through the installation and usage stages. Remember that it's painted in this excellent blue, stepping away from dull, conventional storage system shades. In conclusion, Western Digital Blue can be your long-lasting companion for those seeking a reasonably priced, hardy, and reliable hard drive. This 1TB workhorse of an industry deserves its five stars for dependability, capability, capacity, and cost-effectiveness.

Ich habe die Festplatte gekauft, um meine mittlerweile gut 10 Jahre alte WD Green mit ebenfalls 1 TB durch etwas schnelleres zu ersetzen. Ich habe mich für die WB Blue mit 7200 RPM entschieden und direkt bei Amazon (kein externer Händler) in der Bulk-Version (also ohne Verpackung, Software etc.) bestellt und nach 2 Tagen erhalten. Die Festplatte wurde im Päckchen gut in Luftpolsterfolie eingewickelt geliefert. Herstellungsdatum laut Aufkleber: 8. Dezember 2021. Also war die Festplatte gerade erst einen Monat alt als sie vor mir lag. TOP. Sowohl die Lautstärke als auch die Geschwindigkeit haben mich sehr positiv überrascht. Sie ist von der Lautstärke her nur minimal lauter als meine sonstigen 1 TB Festplatten, welche jedoch alle mit 5400 RPM laufen. Die alte WD Green ist etwas leiser als der Rest, aber das nur nebenbei. Zur Geschwindigkeit habe ich einen Screenshot vom CrystalDiskMark beigefügt. Die Festplatte ist schnell, mehr muss man dazu glaube ich nicht sagen. Selbst virtuelle Maschinen starten sehr flott. Nunja, wenn die Rezension jetzt zu Ende wäre, wäre es zweifellos ein Happy End. Aber das Leben und Festplatten schreiben bekanntermaßen ihre eigenen Geschichten und die hier ist keine Ausnahme. Nach ca. 2 Stunden im Betrieb sind plötzlich Dateien aus Verzeichnissen verschwunden und der Windows Explorer konnte den Dateisystem-Namen nicht mehr anzeigen. Nach einem Kaltstart des Systems konnte die Festplatte wieder für eine Weile genutzt werden, hatte nach einiger Zeit jedoch wieder die gleichen Erscheinungen. Ein Blick in dmesg unter Linux hat die Lesefehler auf dem Gerät letztlich leider bestätigt. Ich habe von Amazon problemlos eine Rückerstattung erhalten und die Festplatte ist definitiv ein Schnäppchen wenn man ein (besser) funktionierendes Modell erwischt. Mein Modell ist zwar leider ein Fall fürs Recycling, aber da mir kein generelles Qualitätsproblem bei Western Digital bekannt ist (ich habe etliche WD HDDs), gebe ich dennoch 5 Sterne im guten Glauben, dass ich dieses Mal einfach nur Pech hatte (und weil die Festplatte ansonsten wirklich fantastisch ist). Und solange man direkt bei Amazon bestellt (und einen guten Backup-Plan hat) ist auch ein Defekt kein Problem. Ich werde sie mir demnächst nochmal bestellen und die Rezension bei erneut auftretenden Problemen anpassen.

Everything is in good working order. Thank you :)

Sadly, these things are no longer as available as they used to be. They represent some of the best technology of our time, known for their durability and reliability. While they may not meet the speed requirements for modern tasks due to more demanding Windows versions and fast SSDs, they can still serve as affordable backup drives for PCs, NAS devices and CCTV DVR/NVRs. These WD drives last a good 8 to 8 years, depending on usage.

Personligen tycker jag att WD har alltid dem bästa hårddiskarna på marknaden de bara funkar.
