old new friend
With the recent upgrade of Western Digital's hard drive range, the role of the Blue series has changed. Now these are not fast HDDs with a rotation speed of 7200 rpm, although the WD10EZEX model is still on the market, but quiet ones at 5400 rpm. That is, the new WD10EZRZ replaced the Green series, which was completely removed from the range. The price has remained consistently low.
Ambiguous changes
On the one hand, the decrease in speed led to a decrease in sequential read and write speeds from 180 to 150 Mbps. Well, at least thanks to the 64 MB cache RAM, the access time to small files remained unchanged. On the other hand, the drive has become much quieter, which is especially important if you have a cheap thin-walled computer case without vibration-absorbing sleds.
Vector change
As a result, the updated WD Blue no longer fits the role of a system drive. It is better to install the operating system and frequently launched applications and games on a fast SSD, while on a low-speed HDD you can store music, photos and videos. Moreover, in idle time, it will completely turn off the engine (an energy-saving feature of Windows 7, 8 and 10).
