64/7200

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.
