All the space I need, but you can really hear it when it's working

While SSDs get all the plaudits for speed, the good old mechanical hard disk drive still can outdo its flashier cousins when it comes to offering huge capacities at a reasonable cost – which in turn means very low cost per gigabyte.

It is not the best among 1 Tb hard disks. It makes some noise while transferring data and has a poor Windows Experience index rating of 5.9. And the transfer speed is sometime came to 14.5,Mbps while transferring files from one drive to other in the same system.

Fast Connectivity

Poor Performance; Slow Connection

I bought this HDD after my previous Seagate one had suddenly failed and had to be replaced. The WD Blue was easy to fit and had great performance, but I was one of the unlucky ones to experience a problem with bad sectors just over a month after purchasing it.

i was skeptical purchasing this based on the not so great reviews i saw, but the pc store i got it from did not have many others. under a load when converting a cd the hdd stopped working. my old one was put in and boots fine.

1 TB size, easy install; worked fast and was satisfied when it worked

used the original HDD in my macbook pro for at least a few years for much longer than this WD HDD lasted me

WD might be misleading. This to my knowledge is not a western digital product. It comes with a generic white sticker that reads (white label sata 1tb) Works fine so far.

This HD works exactly how it should and for its price you cant really beat it! only thing id say is to prepare yourself for when SSD start becoming more affordable and popular (they are already really popular).

I got what I wanted in good time and it is working great. Thanks for the help, I will use you again.

Western Digital has had a 1TB (1,000GB) hard disk in its 2.5in (laptop-sized) Scorpio Blue range for a while now (that's the WD10TPVT), so you may be asking yourself what's so special about the WD10JPVT apart from the changing of a letter in the model name.

The hard drive market has turned volatile, ever since the floods wreaked havoc in Thailand. Factories of major hard drive brands were shut and operations were hit, resulting in a major hike in the prices of hard drives, around the world.
