This review is from: WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA III, 64 MB Cache - WD10EZEX (Personal Computers) This drive is quiet and the sequential performance is very good, though the seek time is average.I get about the average advertised 150 MB/s sustained. It is 190 MB/s on the outer part of the platter. From HDtune the average seek time is 20ms. Pretty great for a moderately priced 1 TB spinner! 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful By JAC (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA III, 64 MB Cache - WD10EZEX (Personal Computers) I will keep it short and to the point... I was skeptical about this drive and was hesitant to purchase it, but now I am a firm believer and will recommend to anyone. Immediately after I installed and performed a fresh install of Mountain Lion, I performed a disk bench test and average read/write speed is 170mb/sec with +/- 5mb/sec - AMAZING fast for a HDD SATA III. Furthermore, the drive is very quiet and I have yet to notice any excessive spinning or noise. Since then, I've purchased another drive for a second system and I will update this post if I experience any problems. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful By Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA III, 64 MB Cache - WD10EZEX (Personal Computers) Does the job and is fast with the 6GB/s sata iii controllers. Only con is that it not quiet when read/write. You can not hear the disks spin but you can here that peculiar HD sound. Has a 5.9 windows performance rating. |
