In addition to running at 7200 RPM, which helps your PC run quickly, it also has a large cache, which helps it run multimedia applications that use a lot of data. The hard drive self-calculates the optimum speed at which it needs to run, and it can lower its power consumption, noise, and vibrations as necessary. This makes the hard drive perfect for energy-conscious people who want to build a system with a high capacity and the right balance of system performance, ensured reliability, and energy conservation.

The best of the best
Tireless workhorse delivers years of top performance day in day out. 7200 RPM and SATA 6.0Gb/s plus 16MB Cache says it all! Industry leading shock tolerance. S.M.A.R.T. system tracks disk health for you. Used drives can be found on eBay for a reasonable prices and those from reputable re-sellers can deliver performance and longevity virtually equal to new units.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The 500 GB hard drive that I received is non-operable and unusable
THIS IS THE REVIEW I SENT TO THE SELLER ON 12/01/2022 AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR A RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM: The 500 GB hard drive that I received is non-operable and unusable. I connected the HDD to 3 different computers and could not access/use the drive using 4 different operating systems (2 Windows and 2 Linux) and GPARTED installed on a CD could not access, format, or partition the HDD.

Good value!
Western Digital has been my primary source of disk drives and have never been disappointed in them. They seem to last for years! I was surprised to discover I was unable to use this one as an external drive connected via an Interface Cable to a USB Port; I have a couple 2.5" drives I do that with. Finally decided to purchase an Interface Cable with a Power Supply and that did the trick!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

storage drive
PROS its quiet / stores my data and was cheep. its a good quality drive. CONS its not super fast. don't get me wrong its not a slug. I have a WD black in my other computer and it is much faster then the blue but also cost more so I guess you get what you pay for. I use a ssd for my main drive and this hhd for extra storage and it works out great.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
