It was purchased around Christmas of '22.
Since I changed it, the PS4 was freezing more than the original 500GB one.
Apart from that, I didn't encounter any particular issue at first.
In August of '23, suddenly the PlayStation started freezing quite often, kicking me out of games, taking a long time to enter or exit standby mode.
And suddenly at the end of August of '23, the hard drive crashed,
Causing problems such as,
files not existing,
the hard drive not being recognized until the system was destroyed.
We tried reconnecting, installed a new operating system, the issue was resolved but it started freezing again, until it happened again.
Now I'm back to the original 500GB one,
and I can no longer trust it anymore.
Conclusion:
Buy at your own risk.
Bad experience unfortunately. It went into a laptop and after a year and a half it crashed. Very little time if you consider that the previous disk that was inside lasted 8 years.
I got him to replace the old one on the ps4 that burned. While the old one used to freeze, etc., this one doesn't feel anything. It is a dog and reliable
I have always used WD hard drives on HDD and never had a problem.. Now I have it as a second one on my laptop and everything is fine... Windows run on a Samsung SSD and I got this one as a second one on my laptop...
Not a good experience at all. I bought it in January and in April it crashed so much that there is no possibility of file recovery. Very disappointing.
Western Digital is a brand that does not need recommendations. I have had a hard drive from this company in the past and its durability is good. The speed of the second drive that I have in my laptop is great. If you load it with an operating system and use it as storage, there may be delays.
Honest disk, silent, good speed. I put it in an external case and use it as a backup Time Machine on an Apple computer. It's value for money at this price.
I have him for just 2 months but so far he is perfect, I easily installed him as an extra disk on my gaming laptop to do the game installations there since the laptop's m2 is 512 and I only have it for the operating system and 2-3 games, he is quite fast and the temperatures are even lower than the m2 and the external ones I have connected, I am very satisfied so far
I have had it for 3 months, I mainly got it as a backup. I chose it over the corresponding cheaper 3.5" mainly because of its size, so it doesn't have weight and doesn't take up space in the case.
However, it is quite slow compared to the larger ones, but I knew that before I got it. It doesn't bother me for the use I want it for. But if you want to use it frequently, it will inconvenience you, so it's better to get a 3.5" one
A decent second disk with a small ecological footprint. Had some minor issues in 613 hours of use. Power_On_Hours: 613, Flying_Height: 2340, Head_Flying_Hours: 61
I have had him as my main hard drive in my tower for two and a half years and he hasn't had any issues at all. The truth is, I take care of him, I have filled him up to 90% and usually keep him at 80%. I mainly play games from here and everything is fine. I also did a health check on him and he is like new, no issues there.
I don't use it to run an operating system, only as storage space. So it didn't show me any problems and I don't think it will.
Entered into a laptop as a replacement for a six-year-old Toshiba 750gb that had bad sectors, and the WD is even slower. With 5400rpm and the new smr technology introduced by manufacturers for cost-saving reasons, the speed has decreased even further and it is not worth it compared to sata ssd drives now that their prices have dropped so low. Although more expensive (about double the price per gb), they excel in speed and reliability. It is not a bad product, it is just outdated.
Although I haven't had it for long (it was purchased on 23-11-2020), everything has been good so far. It's small, lightweight, and quiet, without reaching high temperatures. It's perfect for my new laptop, serving as extra space mainly for games. The only negative aspect I would mention is its packaging, which was just a bag without any accessories (screws for mounting). It gave me a hard time searching for them from my old devices, but other than that, it's perfect.
I have been using it for 4 years on a laptop, it doesn't understand anything after a lot of daily use, it is quite fast for an HDD, it will do your job comfortably, it is also very small and fits everywhere. Recently, it was installed in a new PC because an SSD was installed in the laptop and it worked fine, it's just not suitable to be your operating system on it, for everything else, it's perfect
It was purchased to replace a 120gb ŴD disk on a friend's laptop, which had been in continuous operation for a total of 2 years. Let's hope that the new disk will last longer.

The best choice for a 2.5" hard drive. It may not be the fastest, but it won't disappoint.
I have him on my PS3 for about 3 years now. Silent, fast, and economical. I recommend him to you
