Model overview based on user reviews
The WD Blue 2.5" hard drive is appreciated for its quiet operation and affordable price, making it a decent choice for basic storage needs. However, users have reported significant drawbacks, such as the disk stopping after 8 seconds of inactivity, which leads to noticeable delays when it spins up again. Some users have experienced early failures, with the drive becoming unreliable after a short period of use, and others have mentioned issues like sector remapping and slow performance. While it may serve well as a secondary storage option, its low RPM speed and potential for overheating under prolonged loads make it less ideal for intensive tasks. Overall, while it offers good storage for the price, potential buyers should be aware of its limitations and consider alternatives for more demanding applications.

If you use this drive as a system disk or as a backup for all your data and only use the disk for these purposes, then it's quite a good drive. But if you want to use it as a second drive that you constantly work with, it's better to look at a drive from another company, like a 1TB Seagate equivalent. I use the drive in a laptop as a second disk, and it took some extra effort to tame it so that it doesn't stop working altogether (additional inconveniences). Quiet, thin, price. - Disk stops after 8 seconds of inactivity (parking) if used as a second disk or removable media. WD has a DOS program that allowed earlier versions of their disks to change the default parking timer from 8 seconds to a maximum of 5 minutes. This model's program can't change this parameter as the disk is not supported. Using this article https://habr.com/ru/post/414271/ and the program described in the article, I managed to tame the disk in my laptop so it doesn't stop at all. - After the disk stops, it takes about ~1.5 seconds to spin up again when accessed, which is very noticeable during operation and irritates due to freezing (slowdowns) while the disk spins up. use WD Blue 2.5" month or more i recommend it don't buy |
I do not advise you to buy hard drives from this company at all (most likely the same problems with ssd) Relatively reasonable price Every time there is a reassignment of sectors. This problem is observed only on the hard drives of this company. Many devices have other companies, but there are no such problems, right there in 99% of cases you will get sector remapping (and no, the usage time does not kill the disk, because the same Toshiba with the same use has no problems)  Dmitriy Yakushev: use WD WD5000LPCX more than year |
They installed it under warranty, for almost a year, I have never regretted it_) The speed is excellent, quiet, there were no failures. With prolonged loads, temperatures up to 70 degrees  Volk Tomash: use WD WD10JPVX month or more i recommend it should buy |
