Active power draws are up to 25% lower during sequential reads than previous generations of WD Blu(TM) SSD at the 500GB capacity point. As used for storage capacity, one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment. As used for transfer rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second. MTTF = Mean Time To Failure based on internal testing using Telcordia stress part testing. TBW (terabytes written) values calculated using JEDEC client workload (JESD219) and vary by product capacity.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I store mainly large video data on the drive for my YouTube channel EcoAmbitionsAustralia.
The drive is not particularly fast, especially if copying from one folder onto another on the same drive. Copying from an external drive, I get speeds up to 60mbit/sec and that's in line with expectations.
I cannot hear this drive in my laptop, it is practically silent.
This drive is thin, my laptop would take the thicker version of 2,5 inch drives, but this one is the thinner version.
Pros:
- Low Price
- High reliability
- Very quiet operation
- Speed acceptable when copying to and from the drive
Cons:
- Slow when copying between folders on the same drive (read and write at once on the same drive)
Sequential: 154 MBps read, 151 MBps write (MB = megabytes).
Random: 244 IOps read, 244 IOps write (inputs/outputs per second).
== Acoustics ==
30 dB => Quiet unless you ram the drive into your ear
The real important criteria for a HDD review is longevity, and you can't do that after just purchasing it, you would have to do that in 3-5 years time. If it fails in less than 3 years, then, it's rubbish. This is why I have given it 3/5 stars. Having said that, I would like to add that I chose WD, because historically I have found them to be extremely reliable, in particular the 3.5" form factor, so much so that they are my got to 3.5" HDD.
180+ MB/sec read/write, 480IOPS read/write according to Samsung Magician,
much faster than my old WD red 3TB and Samsung HD204UI drives, and just as silent
Amazon only sent the drive in a sealed anti-static bag, inside a padded envelope and then inside another padd enevelope..... would have preferred in a box ...

I'm dumbfounded as WD drives have been very reliable for me in the past. What are the odds of receiving two hard drives that are DOA? Possibly it could have been damaged during shipping. I will request a refund and go to the store next time...
Two stars as the return policy was great.

Revisione Settembre 2018:
ho dovuto abbassare a due stelle non perchè ho avuto particolari problemi, ma perchè se non si fa attenzione a una cosa, i problemi potrebbero arrivare e come si può leggere ci sono diverse altre recensioni che hanno avuto problemi con questi hard disk. Vediamo cosa può essere loro successo e quello che potremmo fare noi (anche se il procedimento non è proprio alla portata di tutti).
Partiamo con il dire che questi dischi "Blu" in realtà non sono proprio Blue ma i vecchi Green ora rimarchiati. Perchè questa precisazione ? Perchè con i vecchi Green, la WD aveva implementato una tecnologia di risparmio energetico (intellipower/intellipark) che faceva una cosa così tanto semplice che però portava poi ad avere grossi problemi a lungo andare con i dischi; cosa faceva? dopo tot secondi (8 o 12) mandava a riposo le testine. Peccato che poi per innumerevoli motivi, il disco riprendeva a funzionare, per poi "riposare" ancora un pò. Come lo si capisce? Si sente perfettamente dei 'tac' ogni tanto (anche spesso dipende da come è configurato e dai software sul pc).
Ecco, questo è il motivo delle due stelle. Perchè nonostante WD faccia degli ottimi hard disk, questa pratica, ha portato, e continua a portare dei grossi problemi con i dischi, perchè questo continuo riposo/sveglia delle testine porta ad un numero abnorme di movimenti meccanici che si può misurare e leggere con software specifici (come crystal mark) facendo scendere la vita media di un disco a tempi indecenti.
Soluzione : si, c'è una soluzione, ma come ho già scritto, non è alla portata di tutti. Come avrete già intuito per risolvere questo problema, bisogna andare a cambiare il tempo di messa in riposo delle testine. Per fare questo esiste un programma, sviluppato proprio da WD: wdidle3 v1.05. Questo programma permette di modificare il tempo di riposo da 8/12 secondi a 300 secondi (il massimo). Questa semplice modifica renderà più efficace, meno rumoroso e soprattutto gli darà più vita al vostro hard disk.
Per fare questa operazione però ci vuole un conoscenza (anche base) di DOS (si avete letto bene) e dischi avviabili (usb, cd), percè è il solo metodo per poter modificare quel valore. Vi elencherò i vari passaggi da fare, ma vi consiglio altamente di non farli se non siete sicuri, perchè operazione potrebbe compromettere altri hard disk sul vostro computer. Nel caso, se avete delle domande specifiche, rispondete pure a questa recensione che vedrò di darvi quanti più infomarzioni possibile.
Questo elenco non vuole essere esaustivo, proprio perchè è diretto a quegli utenti che sanno cosa andranno a fare:
- Scaricare rufus
- formattare usb con boot selection free dos
- copiare il programma wdidle3.exe sulla chiavetta
- avviare da boot la chiavetta (sarebbe meglio avere solo attaccato l'hard disk su cui si vuole modificare il parametro)
- digitare wdidle3 /r (serve a vedere a quanto è stato impostato il tempo di riposto -quei famosi 8 / 12 secondi)
- digitare wdidle3 /s300 (per impostare il tempo a 300 secondi)
- spegnere/riavviare il pc
Fatto. A questo punto non sentirete più il 'tac' delle testine e soprattutto avrete allungato la vita al vostro HD.

This particular one may also be good, but I'll never know - I'm returning it unused, because of poor packaging which doesn't adequately protect the item and so I'll not risk using it (because of the extreme likelihood of it being either doa/failing prematurely in consequence of 'being bounced around' during delivery).
Item was shipped in a box much larger than the unit, with the only padding being a single piece of padding-paper above the item... so perhaps the training manual reads: 'Select too-big box, place item on bottom, screw-up wrapping paper and place on top, seal.'
For a book, the packing would have been excessive. For a sensitive electronic item it's woefully inadequate.
And I strongly disagree with the info about 'frustration free packaging'... 'will protect your product just as well as traditional packaging'. Er, no. It won't protect. And then having to spend time sorting this is a pain-in-the-***, and not in any way frustration-free.
In fairness, having phoned to discuss this, the customer service is good... acknowledgment, apology, next-day replacement, collection of unit to be returned. I've requested that if it's as poorly packed then please don't bother sending. So I'm hoping for something which 'will protect your product just as well as traditional packaging'.
With common sense, none of this would have happened. But it did, which is a negative experience for all and something which could easily have been avoided.
DAY-LATER UPDATE: Replacement arrived by free next-day delivery... appropriately packed in protective inner carton (which is what I'd expected for the first item).

Amazon hat auf meine diesbezügliche Mitteilung großartig reagiert, nämlich rasch und unkompliziert: ich kann die Festplatten entsorgen, sie werden mir die Kaufsumme erstatten. Bravo Amazon.
