How to Choose a Hard DriveUnderstanding how to choose the right HDD for gaming, video recording, server, and other tasks
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.

I've been using computers for twenty-five years, and this is the first drive that failed on me during use. The interesting part is that I used it relatively little. Prior to this, I had drives from Western Digital, both the Blue and Green series. All of them have been working for more than 5 years, almost every day. This one, however, lasted about two years with inactive use because my primary system is a PC, and the laptop served as an auxiliary system.

One day, I noticed that Windows started loading very slowly. Everything works, but it's really slow. It feels like instead of 5400 RPM, the disk is spinning at barely 500 RPM. Meanwhile, the computer is straining to do anything and start up. (No, it's not overheating). I reinstalled the system. It didn't help. I took a disk from another laptop, swapped it and started up. Everything was fine. The speed returned, everything launches, nothing lags.

It only worked for about two years. That's really short. The laptop was never dropped and was almost always used in a home environment. So, I wouldn't recommend this HDD, it's very unreliable in my opinion.
Got it as part of a laptop

Don't even think about buying it.
Lasted for 3 years, thought it would fall apart sooner.
Very low-quality hard drive, extremely slow, periodically causes blue screens.
