Model overview based on user reviews  
The WD Blue Blue hard drive receives mixed reviews from users. Many appreciate its affordable price, quiet operation, and reliability, with some users reporting it has lasted for years without issues. However, others have experienced early failures, with some drives failing within months of purchase. The drive is noted for its fast performance for an HDD, but it is often compared unfavorably to SSDs in terms of speed and noise. Vibrations and noise during operation are common complaints, and some users have had to implement solutions to reduce these issues. Overall, while the WD Blue Blue is seen as a good value for basic storage needs, its reliability can be inconsistent, making it less suitable for critical data storage.

Do you need a great file cleaner? This is your choice!

One of the best workhorses for an adequate price, I don’t need more than 1 TB, it’s an excellent file dump) Yes, there is the next lvl up in the person of nvme ssd, but you’ll pay a lot more for them)
Price, practicality
This is not a nvme ssd, haha, but they don’t exist, what else do you need from a hard drive?)
good model, liked it

Nice model, I liked it
From this I can note its low cost and packaging
Terrible sounds when you turn on the computer, and if you screw it in poorly it will vibrate a lot, but overall it’s quiet

blue blue

WD Blue's 3.5-inch terabyte hard drives come in two varieties: the 5400 rpm WD10EZRZ and the 7200 rpm WD10EZEX. The first is quieter, colder, but also slower (up to 150 MB / s), therefore it is used mainly as a capacious file storage that complements the SSD. The second — WD10EZEX — is noisy, but noticeably faster (up to 180 MB / s), therefore it is suitable for the role of the main and only disk on which the operating system, applications and games will be installed.

Everything will fit

Sure, the WD10EZEX is no match for an SSD, but if you're on a tight PC build low-cost, you can't complain. After all, even a 120 GB SSD costs more than a terabyte hard drive. And games in recent years have begun to weigh, oh, how much. For example, GTA 5 and NBA 2K18 "weigh" 70 GB, while Call of Duty World War II and Forza Horizon 3 weigh more than 100 GB. A gamer cannot do without a hard drive now.

The voice of the people

In addition to the Blue series, WD's range includes Red and Black models, both with extended warranties from two to three years. The first low-speed 5400 rpm with an emphasis on the reliability of data storage, and the second — on the contrary, the fastest 7200 rpm and 200+ MB / s. Nevertheless, due to the best ratio of price, speed and capacity, it is WD Blue that has been the most popular HDD for many years.
