Slow, but reliable. Good for the price.

Reviewed in Australia on 22 December 2020

Capacity: 2TBStyle Name: 2.5" Mobile Drive HDD - 5400 RPM ClassVerified Purchase

I purchased this drive as the second drive to store large files in my laptop (the other drive is the Windows drive and SSD).

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)

Is it too soon

Reviewed in Australia on 21 December 2019

Capacity: 6 TBStyle Name: HDD - 5400 RPMVerified Purchase

Whats the point of writing a review for a hard disk you have just purchased.... No point at all unless its DOA (and yes I have had DOA HDDs in the past). This HDD does what all HDDs should do, store data.
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.

Capacity: 4 TBStyle Name: HDD - 5400 RPMVerified Purchase

When suspended mounted in my Silverstone FT-02 case, it is inaudible while idle and seeking, at 3AM with the case open!

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 ...

Corrupt drive

Reviewed in Australia on 25 October 2020

Capacity: 2TBStyle Name: Single DriveVerified Purchase

I got the 2TB drive a while ago and have had other significant things happen in my life in between so I have only recently installed it into my computer that I just built. I've tried other SATA slots, cables and tried initializing it in the drive management in windows 10 but all that shows up is that the drive has zero storage and I can't use it and now its outside of the return window which sucks. But I just want to let other people know that some drives that they get can be corrupted.

DOA

Reviewed in Australia on 9 December 2020

Capacity: 4 TBStyle Name: HDD - 5400 RPMVerified Purchase

I ordered one that was DOA. It had bad sectors and couldn't be formatted. The replacement was also DOA — a recurring soft clicking sound with a scratching noise, indicating that the arm isn't functioning properly.

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.

It’s a hard drive, it does what it says it does, lots of storage, fast, however not as fast as an ssd, would recommend pairing this with a ssd for programs that need to be fast. But as long term storage this is a great solution. It’s affordable for the amount of storage you get

Reviewed in Australia on 21 April 2020

Capacity: 1 TBStyle Name: HDD - 7200 RPMVerified Purchase

The 1TB drive running at 7200 RPM reaches 190MB/s sustained read, 160MB/s sustained write (tested with 500MB files to go beyond the drive's 64MB cache). Does not have SMR, that's a good thing. Will make an excellent system drive in my old Power Mac G5. The drive I received was manufactured in January 2020.

This product is not a retail item but an OEM product with NO Warranty

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 July 2018

Capacity: 2 TBStyle Name: HDD - 5400 RPMVerified Purchase

Required a replacement WD 2TB hard drive and noted the Amazon listed (Amazon’s Choice) WD Blue 2TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB by Western Digital. Made the purchase and received the item within 24hours. Item was non-boxed and wrapped in an ESP sleeve, bubble wrap and Amazon style packaging. Visual inspection looked good but decided to register the new WD drive with Western Digital before installing. Upon suppling the serial number, the WD registration site stated that the serial number was void although the WD site recognised the Hard drive. Addition investigation revealed that the Hard Drive was an OEM product and WD would not supply any warranty on this item. Clearly, the supplier is selling OEM products
Western Digital Comment: Sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. As per your mail we understand that you are facing issue with registering "WD Blue" drive in your Western Digital portal account.
This is to inform you that the drive SN: WCC4M2DFLV49 is an O.E.M drive that was shipped to a computer manufacturer. As per Western Digital policies and procedures, we do not cover warranty for O.E.M drives. Hence we recommend that you contact the place of purchase for warranty services.

Ottimo Hard Disk per desktop

Reviewed in Italy on 10 August 2017

Capacity: 1 TBStyle Name: HDD - 5400 RPMVerified Purchase

Non fatevi ingannare dalla scritta 5400RPM, perchè nonostante ci siano hard disk da 7200 RPM questo è davvero molto veloce. Il transfer rate è molto alto per un hard disk meccanico. WD è una garanzia per questa tipologia di prodotti. Consigliato

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.

Nice drive, shame about the packaging.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 August 2017

Capacity: 1 TBStyle Name: HDD - 7200 RPMVerified Purchase

I've had several of these in recent years and they're usually good, so I keep buying - and usually always from Amazon.

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).

VORSICHT vor MercadoActual

Reviewed in Germany on 5 November 2018

Capacity: 4 TBStyle Name: HDD - 5400 RPMVerified Purchase

Bei gleich zwei vom Händler MercadoActual bezogenen 4 TB internen WD-Festplatten (Bulk) stimmte das Etikett nicht mit dem sonst üblichen Aussehen überein. Das machte mißtrauisch und ich wendete mich an Western Digital zur Überprüfung. Ergebnis: der Aufkleber ist in der Tat kein gültiges WD-Etikett, wahrscheinlich handelt es sich um einen Betrug und ich sollte die Festplatten zurückgeben.

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.
