Solid Long Term Storage

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2022

Capacity: 500 GBStyle: 7200 RPMVerified Purchase

I've had these HDDs for many years, some are over 20 years old. I have never had any issues.
Bought one recently for a new PC build to supplement my SSDs, which I don't trust for long term backup. They have always been and continue to be my go-to for reliable data storage.

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2012

Capacity: 500 GBStyle: 7200 RPMVerified Purchase

Thanks Amazon for my 20 dollar promo.This was based on a previous order,but the A to Z policy took care of the problem.I have been using Western Digital drives for years.I've had only (1) drive fail over the years.RMA was easy.Cost 6 dollars to send back drive.Replacement works fine.

I just bought a Black and Blue.Using the Blue 500 GB for just a boot drive,and the(1) TB for gaming.

The Western Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB SATA III 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache are great for boot drives.I bought this here for 66 dollars with promo :)I dont need a large cache for a boot drive.This drive has SATA 6Gb/s support and my motherboard also supports this feature.I also picked up a WD BLK 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5 drive which compliments this drive perfectly,on the new 6Gb/s interface

This covers all my storage,warranty,and gaming needs until ssd prices stabilize.I was able to get both drives for 210 out the door with promo.Amazon rocks.New Egg and other popular venders should take note.Pricing and frustration free packaging makes Amazon my #1 choice.

worthwhile PC Upgrade

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2011

Capacity: 500 GBStyle: 7200 RPMVerified Purchase

We have a Windows XP PC with 250GB hard drive that was getting full with photos and videos. We therefore ordered this inexpensive upgrade to triple the capacity to 750GB total. We ordered the same Western Digital Caviar Blue hard drive as the original since our old drive has been quite reliable over the past 4 years. [Western Digital also makes Green drives that are cooler and quieter, but supposedly not so reliable; and Black drives for gaming performance that we didn't need.] The new 500GB hard drive, as stated, is "bare". That means 2 cables are needed along with it - a data cable, and a power cable. We found this out by contacting Western Digital Tech Support who were quite helpful. We ordered these cables from amazon.com as well: B0001Y8UI4, and B00009YFTI. The ambition was to do this at home; but realized upon opening the PC box that it wasn't so easy - the connections were not easy to figure out including jumper to lower the speed of the new drive from 6Gb/s to 3Gb/s - that Western Digital had warned us about to be compatible with the older PC. Fortunately, a local computer repair shop agreed to do it for only $50 [the same components purchased from them would have been twice as much as amazon.com!] as opposed to Best Buy Geek Squad that wanted over $200 for the same labor. Now, the programs are on the old hard drive [C:] and the data is on this new drive [E:]. The hardware is not a problem; it is working fine as it should. The problem is with software handling the transition of the data. The document folders were an easy fix - change designation from C: to E: for each user. But some programs have been a pain: For example, iTunes had to be directed to E: drive and in the process of rebuilding its library, duplicated all files and also lost the playlists. It is now a headache to manually fix 200GB of iTunes library data since, as we all have experienced, there is no support when it comes to software [Help forums haven't responded]. But I believe we are good to go for another few years after this.

Does NOT support Power Up In Standby (PUIS)

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2020

Capacity: 500 GBStyle: 7200 RPMVerified Purchase

This review is for the WD5000AAKX. I have an older version of this same drive, the WD5000AAKS. They are quite similar, but I found one difference that is a problem for me: The AAKX does not support PUIS. On many WD drives you can place a jumper on two pins, and if you then just plug in a power cable, the drive will not spin up. But not on this drive. In fact, when you use the linux command hdparm -I /dev/sdb, for example, the Power Up in Standby Mode setting is not even listed. It's not enabled or disabled; it's not listed.
(If you don't know what any of this means, or you don't know why PUIS might be useful, then don't worry about it; in other respects this is a fine hard drive.)

Who Sends Delicate Hard Disk Drives through the post??

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 19, 2018

Capacity: 500 GBStyle: 7200 RPMVerified Purchase

I am a dinosaur! My disk drive failed the other day. The data is still on it but it is stuck in a RAW state (technicalities). I need a similar drive to clone my old drive to (the data is backed up but I would still like to clone the drive). Can I go to a shop anymore? No! I am forced to order what is a delicate mechanical device on-line. The sellers might be gentle but you can bet that once it has been kicked around a sorting office and delivery van it is 50/50 whether it will work. Mine didn't. Despite mediocre package it arrived with a dented case, that takes some force! (Take it from me who tries smashing these things with a sledge hammer when they are end of life, they are tough beasts). When attached to a PC it ticks loudly like a grandfather clock, will not format and is not recognised by WD SMART software and is stuck in RAW. In yesteryear I could go to a local PC component retailer and buy a disk at least under the illusion that they have just lifted it gently from a shelf before giving it to me! Bottom line is item did not work. Bottom, bottom line is I've ordered another one on-line from a different seller. Here's hoping!

Three Stars

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 27, 2015

Capacity: 500 GBStyle: 7200 RPMVerified Purchase

Sometimes they fail. This one did after about 18 months. Replaced under warranty.

Edit: I came to review my latest purchase - two 1TB WD Blue 7200rpm drives. Specifically I wanted to say that while plenty have been sent refurbished - and sometimes not even that if they've still got someone else's data on them - I have registered these two and they are both about 3 or 4 months old, i.e. how long they've been on Amazon's shelf.

And I came to say: these are 'WD Blue', not 'WD Caviar Blue'. But because they are listed here as 'Caviar Blue', they are lumped in with e.g. my review of a 500GB Caviar Blue that failed. I am told I've already reviewed this 1TB drive.

I haven't unsealed the WD Blues, so I can't rate them - though I seem to buy WD drives exclusively, so I obviously like them! Meanwhile the replacement for the failed 500GB Caviar Blue - a refurbished drive; they always supply refurbs as warranty replacements - continues to work well. I think I'll add a star.

Cheaper than actual caviar and more essential!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 21, 2013

Capacity: 500 GBStyle: 7200 RPMVerified Purchase

After my main hard drive blew on me a couple of months ago, I was left with a decision to make: new computer or replace the drive. Being a bit strapped of cash, I went with the latter and found this little beauty at under £50! It says on the WD website that this is for 'everyday computing' (they may have worded it slightly differently but I took it to mean light to moderate pc use. It is coping fine with me adding more software to it dail, and it responds quickly to opening files and programmes.

I also love a bit of gaming (not the high end 3D type stuff, but Sims 3 with expansion packs a-plenty) and photo and video editing. I have thousands of songs, photos, video clips and even a handful of full movies on here. None of this seems to phase the new hard drive, and there is still loads of space left for storing future projects.

My computer is back to its old self - I might even say better than it's old self. I recommend this product absolutely.

Good value drive

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 2, 2013

Capacity: 500 GBStyle: 7200 RPMVerified Purchase

There isn't really much to be said about this drive. I bought it to work along side my SSD which houses all my essential programs and the OS. This drive is fast, quiet and hopefully reliable (Western Digital are well know for quality). Basically it does exactly what you want it to do.

If you're concerned about the "OEM" thing I can tell you that the drive works perfectly well. The only issue we might have with this drive is the warranty if it breaks down. I'm not entirely sure how OEM licenses work so there might be some issues there.

The reason I haven't given it 5 stars is because of the packaging. The drive comes in the standard anti-static bag which is fine but then it just sits in a cardboard box. There is no padding in the box and no form of shock protection. I had this item delivered by special delivery so it was perfectly fine when it got to me but if you have it delivered by standard class I can see it getting bashed around.

PS:
If this is the first internal drive you have bought then it can be worrying when it doesn't show up right away in my computer when you plug it in to the SATA port. You need to go in to your disk manager and make the partition volume yourself.

Basically it's a great drive especially considering the price.
