Model overview based on user reviews
WD Caviar Blue is a 3.5-inch 7200 rpm HDD that users often describe as fast enough for everyday PC use, relatively quiet and cool. Many drives have operated reliably for several years, but reports also include bad sectors, sudden failures, vibration and increased noise. Performance and capacity are now modest, especially for system use, and reliability appears to vary significantly between individual units and revisions.

It has been serving for more than 9 years, and it works with a bang, the info disk shows 100% in the crystal, I don’t know if it can be trusted, but the disk really works well Too durable for the price No  ينميويز يترنيميم: use WD WD5000AAKS more than year |
It took me a long time to choose it... I wasn't wrong with my choice, the screw still works fine. Vintu is 5 years old. It still works! Not noisy. I think there is nothing to add. Reliable screw! Didn't find anything for myself.  Danila: use WD WD5000AAKS more than year i recommend it should buy |
I've known and used WD for a long time. I can't even remember how many years ago their first hard drive appeared. I bought new ones as needed to expand capacity. Now I have one that's a terabyte. Completely satisfied with the speed. It works quickly and quietly. The price-to-volume ratio is excellent. not yet. I hope there won't be. Georgiy: use WD Caviar Blue few months |
