Western Digital Blue 2.5 inch 500GB Hard Drive
If you are looking for a 2.5 inch mechanical hard drive there are only really two names to consider- Western Digital and Seagate. Recent consolidations of manufacturers only underscore this fact. Both have a history of making highly reliable drives at a moderate price. The WD Blue is nearly as fast as the Black version and it does its work using less power. WD has arguably the best head parking hardware (important with the read/write heads floating less than a hair's width above the magnetic media and the vulnerability of Laptops. Competing Seagate drives are actually hybrids using SS memory to augment their speed. Nevertheless, Seagate is only barely faster on mostly non-repetitive data. I've used multiple WD and Seagate drives in my computers daily for over two decades and my personal experience has been that both should last well over a decade with a slight edge for WD. This reliability is still a goal for their competitors. Will the reliability consolidated manufacturers reach those of the parent companies ... only time will tell..Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Simply the best
Probably the best 500gb 5400rpm hard drive ever made. I wouldn't trust any other brands as there is either a much higher failure rate or some shortcomings. And this one is a balanced fine all-round drive.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Reminds me of a Diehard battery.
Works super fast and the computer has no problems in starting or restarting. The old hard drive it is replacing still pulls up everything on screen quicker than our desktop, even though it was physically damaged. This is a great product.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
