6TB WD Blue PC Internal Hard Drive HDD - 5400 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 256 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD60EZAZ

Dependable Storage Workhorse That’s Perfect for Everyday Use The Western Digital 6TB WD Blue drive has been a quiet, steady performer in my desktop setup. I use it mainly for bulk storage—photos, documents, and archived project files—and it’s proven reliable and whisper-quiet. Installation is plug-and-play; my system recognized it instantly via SATA without the need for any driver setup. Using the free Acronis cloning software from WD made transferring files from my older 2TB drive a breeze. The 5400 RPM speed isn’t blazing fast compared to SSDs or 7200 RPM drives, but it’s perfectly adequate for everyday computing and backup purposes. I’ve tested read/write speeds hovering around 150 MB/s on large files, which is consistent with its specs. It runs cool and draws very little power, ideal for systems that stay on 24/7. Western Digital’s Blue line has always been their “reliable daily driver,” and this 6TB version fits that profile well. Build quality feels solid, and there’s minimal vibration once mounted. Over several years of using WD drives in both PCs and external enclosures, I’ve found them to age gracefully with low failure rates—as long as they’re used for storage or light media work rather than constant heavy writes. A few tips: format the drive as GPT to use the full 6TB capacity, and remember this model is best suited for file storage, backups, or media—not high-speed gaming or RAID arrays (WD Black or Red drives are better for that). Bottom line: A trustworthy, quiet, and efficient hard drive for expanding desktop storage or creating large backups. It’s not the fastest, but it’s built to last and does its job without fuss.

This is another drive that just works—no complaints on performance. A major plus is that it is very quiet compared to other HDDs I've used. Just be aware this uses SMR technology, so it's not great for heavy NAS usage, but it's perfect for standard PC storage.

I use this drive for storage my old one failed it was about 6 years old so i replaced it with this. Id originally bought a seagate 7200 rpm drive and it was showing in bios it was failing after transferring all my backed up data onto it. So i sent it back to new egg for a refund. This one had no issues and the weird thing is, its advertised as a 5400 rpm drive which is supposed to be slower but the transfer rate on the data actually seemed faster to me which is wierd. Anyway western digital is my brand of choice for mechanical hard drives. I have this internal and an external USB and theyre both great, very dependable and no issues at all. I dont think ill be using seagate again as i always seem to have problems with their drives for some reason. Maybe im just unlucky but thats about the 3rd or 4th drive ive had that had some major problem. WD drives seem to be workhorses and last virtually forever and they work straight out the box, no special drivers or settup needed, im just using generic windows drivers. I highly recommend western digital for any of your storage needs. I havent tried their SSDs but HDD they are king in my book.

My Apple Airport drive failed after several years. I had been sitting on repairing it for a while and decided to replace the failed drive. I bought this drive and with a little bit of disassembly effort of the Airport unit, I was able to install this new drive and get it working. The most difficult and time consuming part was cutting down the little rubber spacers inside the Airport to hold the drive properly. That's not a drive problem, though. After installation and formatting it, my Apple Airport works 100% again. What this means is that if you're looking to replace your Apple Airport hard drive, this drive will work. However, expect to spend some time cutting and reshaping the Airport's rubber spacer inserts. Be very careful working with the very tiny cables inside of the Airport as they are quite fragile.

I used it as a temporary storage for video footage, so it is quite frequently used. After ~2 years, I noticed that some of my old videos stored on this disc are corrupt and cannot be played. I scanned it with badblocks, but it found nothing and I thought that it was a glitch. After ~5 years, same problem repeated ... so I scanned it with badblocks again, and it reported no problems again 🙄 I guess, you cannot really do heavy read/write operations on SMR drives, so from now on I am using it as cold storage with ZFS ... if you need something reliable, just go with CMR.

Usually buy from new egg but just could not resist the price on this one. Whisper quite and works great. easy install and compatible with my installation.

I've had mine since fall of 2019, and it's still doing fine. I use mine as a storage drive, nothing very demanding. At 5400 RPM, I don't think this would make a very good gaming drive. You'd experience some hefty load times. 5400 is just fine for storage though. Videos, pictures, projects, whatever. A cheaper solution for your mass storage needs. This is an internal HDD, not an external, so installation is required. It's a simple process as far as PC building goes, but if you're not comfortable opening your case to mount it and plug it in, you might want to consider an external one for your storage needs. Those just need to be plugged into an outlet, and a USB port on your computer. It is pretty easy to install even if you've never done it though. It's only going to fit in a couple places, of which you can use any of those slots. Power and data cables are pretty goof proof too. They're designed so only the proper cables will fit, and only the right way. I'm sure you can find a few dozen videos online to help you with this.

Sono più di 10 anni che utilizzo prodotti Western Digital, in particolare la linea Blue che è dedicata ai PC fissi e all-in-one. Ho scelto di cambiare il mio vecchio HD con un più capiente sempre della stella linea poiché li ritengo prodotti performanti, capienti e soprattutto affidabili. Il prodotto è arrivato avvolto da una pellicola in pluriball, all'interno di una scatola ben imballata, quindi il rischio che arrivi danneggiato o che prenda colpi accidentali durante il trasporto è davvero basso. Per la prima configurazione i passaggi sono pochi e semplici, basta collegarlo al PC tramite il cavo SATA (non fornito) e formattarlo direttamente dal programma di gestione dischi, di cui ogni sistema operativo è dotato. Il modello che ho acquistato è il WD40EZAZ che ha come caratteristiche: - Capacità: 4 TB - Interfaccia: SATA 6 Gb/s - Formato: 3.5 pollici - Dimensioni della cache: 256 MB - Velocità disco: 5400 rpm - Dimensioni (L x W x H): 147mm x 101.6mm x 26.1mm 🟢PRO: - Ottime prestazioni considerando che ha dischi meccanici da 5400 rpm - Silenzioso - Affidabile 🔴CONTRO: - Niente da segnalare

Having been fed up with a 2TB pencil drive not being compatible with Windows 10 (don't you just love how Microsoft tries to control your life?!!!) or not working properly with the Mac, I decided to get another Western Digital 4TB drive. They continue to be the world leader in drives. Although this is an internal drive, I didn't want to pay the more expensive price for an external drive, plus my Mac is old (2008) and the connection is USBA, so the latest external drives would likely not connect. I therefore use this drive in a docking station and it works fine. - I play music live from this during my radio shows, loading to the playout app. For me the SSDs of this capacity and greater need to come down considerably in price before I will switch over to them. I therefore use great HDDs like this and they work fine.
