2TB WD Blue Mobile Hard Drive HDD - 5400 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 128 MB Cache, 2.5" - WD20SPZX

HDDs in 2025!? Heck yeah! While not particularly as fast as modern SSDs in random access, the performance is still great for old SATA interface. In linux I disable my swap, but Windows just doesn't work without some swap file, and I'm not going to swap to my main SSD. Thankfully my laptop can boot from mSATA and still has a 2.5" low profile SATA drive slot, where this WD 2T neatly fits. 2T of storage is greatly appreciated in a portable to store all my files on the go where there's no cheap internet access, while also great to direct swap, all logs, and other write-intensive files to the HDD to keep writes low for my old boot SSD. I'm really thankful that WD still keeps making HDDs for these kinds of uses.

I got this for my Eufy home base 3 security system and it was really easy to install and offers a ton of storage space. I don't have to worry about going through and regularly deleting stored videos with this amount of storage. its also a pretty affordable option. haven't had any issues with it a year later

The hard drive in my Silicon Dust HD DVR died so I purchased this as a replacement and it works perfectly.

It is a good little drive...all 2TB of it. Installed it in and old Lenovo laptop with Linux Mint 22 XFCE and it is happy. np

Works great and easy to install.

**NOTE: My pictures were taken a few hours after I had the drive running for a bit. When I first tested the drive, it has 0 power on hours! So, first thing I want to say is this drive is advertised as a retail drive but is in-fact an OEM drive. Normally this isn't an issue except that when you have an OEM drive from Western Digital (WD) the warranty is now on the OEM to uphold instead of WD. The OEM in this case being the seller (Hard Drive Geeks for me). The only physical difference on the drive is the Western Digital label on top is replaced with a white label. I set my rating at 3 stars because it clearly shows a retail drive but is instead a OEM drive. The main issue is that Western Digital WILL NOT warranty this drive because it is an OEM drive. If your drive has an issue you MUST go to the seller. A lot of the times, this is fine but it all depends on if your seller actually backs their warranty. That being said, the seller MUST maintain the same warranty period or longer. Since WD warranties this for 2 years, so must the seller of the OEM drive. The decision should be up to you really on buying this. The warranty of most hard drives don't cover data recovery in the first place (unless you have higher end NAS drives) so I don't expect most people to use the warranty even when there is an issue. I expect most people to contact a data recovery service. So... long story short is that if you are concerned about getting a retail drive with the retail warranty, I would look to the manufactures website for purchasing options, otherwise the OEM version of the drive (for me) was brand new and performed at expected levels for a 5400 RPM spinning disk and will work fine for me needs as a secondary storage drive with an SSD cache on top to speed things up a little. TL;DR: The drive is a genuine new Western Digital drive sold to a third-party seller with a "white label" on top instead of Western Digital branding. The drive should be new (install Crystal Disk Info to check) with 0 hours of power on time. Western Digital does not warranty white label/OEM drives, the warranty is up to the seller to take care of. That being said, the seller is required to maintain the same warranty period or longer, which in my case was the minimum of 2 years. This drive performs as expected and is for all intensive purposes the same physical drive as the retail version, just no WD branding on top.

I bought this for my Eufy Homebase 3. It works great so far. Here are some things to keep in mind. The hard drive comes with multiple partitions. As a result, the Eufy app wasn't able to format the hard drive properly. I had to connect the hard drive to my PC and format it with the Disk Management tool (Win+X > Disk Management). Delete each volume until the entire hard drive shows as Unallocated. Create a new simple volume (NTFS). Allow it to be assigned a drive letter. I named the drive "Eufy". I then installed it in the Homebase (be sure to unplug it first) and then used the app to format it. It wasn't successful on the first try but it worked on the second try.

Excelente

Excelente transferencia de datos, rápido, silencioso, ligero, hasta pensé que era un SSD, lamentablemente lo compré a un precio caro, después lo pusieron casi 1000 pesos más barato, así que verifica bien el precio antes de comprar, fuera de eso, gran producto

Arrivato velocemente e bel protetto, formattato con due partizioni da 1T, sta funzionando perfettamente su un DELL Inspirion i7, ottimo prodotto.

Die Lieferung der Platte erfolgte in einem verschweißten antistatischen Beutel und auf der Platte war nicht mal eine Partitionstabelle angelegt. Ich würde daher vermuten dass ich Neuware erhalten habe. Ich habe die Festplatte als Ersatz für die 1TB Festplatte meines Laptops gekauft, da der Speicher langsam knapp wird. Ehrlich gesagt bin ich doch immer wieder erstaunt darüber wie viele Daten in ein kleines Volumen passen. XD Die Festplatte kommt einem wirklich winzig vor wenn man sie in der Hand hält was auch mit der geringen Dicke von gerade einmal 7mm zu tun hat. Beim Beschreiben erreiche ich eine Geschwindigkeit von circa 120 MB/s über einen USB 3 zu SATA Adapter. Ich schätze die Lesegeschwindigkeit leigt deutlich darüber konnte das aber noch nicht testen. Von der Geräuschentwicklung her ist die Platte auch super. Ehrlich gesagt kann ich die Platte neben dem Lüfter meines Laptops gar nicht wahrnehmen obwohl der Lüfter nur im Normalbetrieb läuft, also muss die Platte ziemlich leise sein. XD Für genauere Geräuschmessungen fehlt mir allerdings das Equipment. Langzeit Erfahrungen kommmen dann natürlich auch erst später, aber bisher hatte ich keinerlei Probleme mit dem Platten von WD obwohl sämtliche meiner Geräte mit solchen ausgestattet sind. Die älteste Platte die ich habe hat schon über 10 Jahre hinter sich und tut noch immer genau das was sie soll, also schätze ich dass ich von WD auch weiterhin gute Qualität erwarten kann. Alles in allem daher ein Top-Produkt!

Works perfectly, and great value for money as I've found with all Crucial products, as I have 2 Crucial SSD's, and another Crucial NvME SSD drive. No noise whatsoever, being an SSD. Just install, partition, and you're good to go

Mycket bra och perfekt funktion! Har fyra stycken och de äldsta har använts i mer än fem år.
