PACKING: Packing, while not great, wasn’t too bad either. Mine came wrapped in a healthy amount of bubble wrap placed inside a appropriately sized cardboard box. That said, it wasn’t a snug fit. The HDD had some wiggle room inside the box. More bubble wrap or perhaps some foam/thermocol would have made it even more secure. Plus, a bit more tape on the outside wouldn’t have hurt.
WEIGHT: Quite a bit lighter than the drive it replaced, a Seagate 1TB 7200rpm (ST31000524AS) HDD. Probably the lightest 1TB HDD I’ve held.
SPEED: Much faster than my old Seagate HDD. I don’t recall its exact speeds but the max read speeds it could hit was only about 110 MB/s with average speeds under 100 MB/s. A quick Google search shows similar results. This thing on the other hand gets close to 200 MB/s with a max read speed of 196.5 MB/s and an average read speed of 156.5 MB/s. Its lowest speed of 96 MB/s is close to what the average speed of my previous drive was.
TEMPERATURES: Runs pretty cool. When I tested the HDD before installing it in my case, it was running close to 40C. After installing it in my case right in front of a 120mm fan, it sits around 34-35C.
SOUND/NOISE: No clicking, grinding or any other weird sounds. Just normal HDD sounds. I would say its ever so slightly more audible than my old HDD (understandable given its much faster) but nothing that should bother anyone. Not inaudible but fairly quiet considering its a HDD. If you want total silence, buy a SSD.
WARRANTY: The HDD I received was a brand new sealed unit manufactured in March 2018. Confirmed warranty by checking the serial number on Western Digital’s website. But before registering the HDD, my drive was under warranty only till April 2020 which is less than 2 years from the date of purchase. After registering the HDD with the correct purchase date, it now shows close to the full 2 year warranty period. You should register your HDD on the Western Digital website the first chance you get. Sadly, both WD and Seagate offer only a measly 2 year warranty these days. My old Seagate HDD had a 5 year warranty.
SUMMARY: Definite upgrade over my previous 1TB drive in terms of performance and a great complement to my Samsung 256GB SSD.
PS: Short-stroke your HDDs. Look it up on Google for more info. Basically, download HD Tune, run the benchmark and see where the speed start dropping off noticeably. For a 1TB drive, its usually around 200-250GB. Make a primary partition of 200-250GB. This is the fastest area of the disk where you’ll get close to the max read/write speed consistently. Put your OS/programs/games on this partition. Create a secondary partition with the remaining space and use that for storage purposes. Very handy way to get better performance especially if you don’t have an SSD.

I purchased this product on 7 Sep 2016. But after a years time, it started to break. I mean i listen to lot of music, and when i would use other programs or application at the same time, the music would break and it would be like a glitch. It would not play nicely, like it would break a lot when playing a music. I used one software that checks sector problems and it showed few sectors , but that was not bother some. But it did show a lot of delays. The program would show a lot of slow sectors, i do not know what that mean, but that cannot be fixed. Before this disc i was using another WD HDD it was only 320 GB, and it was solid and never had a thing like slow sectors. It ran for good 3 years, without breaking a sweat. One time i used a patched AntiMalware software and it literally crashed the disc. But this 1 TB HDD really sucks, after just 2.1/2 year it has started showing problems. I would not recommend this to other users. Better get a Internal HDD from other website but not from Amazon(India). They have really old stocks, i think that is what they are giving away or distributing.
I highly would not recommend this to other users. Buy from another website.

Seller: systemneeds Price: 4050/- Delivery: 8 days!! Package: Not good, has bubble wrapped, rest space in carton was put up with papers??? Recommended: Of course yes !!!… For gamers and computer enthusiasts
About seller :
The HDD was delivered after a week. And also the status of the HDD (under track) was not at all updated…Had to check with seller manually. Packing was okay. In a carton box with full of papers and HDD covered in bubble wrapper. Heard some friends bought through flipkart had tough time in this packing segment.
Product review: ~~~~~~~~~~~ It has been over 3 years, 4 months since I started using this. NO ISSUES AND HICKUPS till date. Amazing performance and very perfect for gaming. The success rate of WD is generally high compared to Seagate. I have had two seagate HDD failed in less than 3 years span. This WD is marching toward 4 years and going strong.
♦ Excellent transfer speeds 50-60 MBps ♦ Works very good on dusty and unclean environment ♦ Not much of heat and sound when under full load ♦ Tested this for continuous operations over several days (without rest). ♦ Works perfectly on very hot 40 deg climate without PC cooling solutions.
Typical transfer rate in windows 7 observed is 50-60 MBps. Games load very quick (slower than SSDs).
You can trust and buy.
Update after 30 months: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Excellent. Started with Win-7, now running Win 8, still excellent performance, no lagging or corruption of data. Several hundred hours of non-stop running, this is one hell of a solid rock…go for it…
Update after 35 months: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Amazing…. Keeps up a steady 50-65 MBps with a peak of 80 MBps while copying. no noise, no excess heat or signs or wear…even though sitting on the dusty PC… no hiccup in 1080p modern gaming, nothing less to SSDs (in usage point of view). Guys, this is ultimate…don’t miss if you are a PC enthusiasts…a beast…for the price you pay

Ho acquistato l’hard disk WD Blue Desktop da 1 TB con interfaccia SATA 6Gb/s e 64 MB di cache e sono molto soddisfatto delle sue prestazioni. L’installazione è stata semplice e veloce, e l’hard disk si è integrato perfettamente nel mio sistema desktop.
La capacità di archiviazione di 1 TB è più che sufficiente per le mie esigenze di archiviazione di dati, documenti, foto e video. La velocità di trasferimento dati SATA 6Gb/s garantisce un’esperienza fluida e veloce durante le operazioni di lettura e scrittura.
Inoltre, la cache di 64 MB contribuisce a migliorare le prestazioni complessive dell’hard disk, consentendo un accesso più rapido ai dati frequentemente utilizzati.
L’affidabilità di WD è ben nota e ho fiducia nella durata nel tempo di questo prodotto. Ho utilizzato altri prodotti WD in passato e non mi hanno mai deluso.
In conclusione, se state cercando un hard disk affidabile, ad alte prestazioni e con una capacità di archiviazione generosa, vi consiglio vivamente l’hard disk WD Blue Desktop da 1 TB. È una scelta eccellente per l’aggiornamento o l’espansione dello spazio di archiviazione del vostro desktop.
