Pros: The Western Digital (WD) Blue WD10EZEX drive is packaged very well. The drive is in an individual box with the drive suspended by two plastic end pieces. On top of the WD packaging NewEgg placed the box inside another box full of Styrofoam peanuts. It would take some very rough handling to damage this drive. This drive is a SATA 6 Gbs advanced format drive with a single 1TB platter and a 64 MB cache. I used a hard drive benchmarking program called HD Tune to measure this drives…

Pros: 1. Value. This is the price/performance & STORAGE SIZE ‘sweet spot’ for a good all around ‘system boot’ or main drive to run your Operating System and programs. You simply can not beat it for the money. 2. Speed . The WD10EZEX is among the fastest HD’s on the market in actual read speed and throughput due to their super high areal density – ‘single platter’ design. 3. Dependable. It’s Western Digital. USA corp since 1970. 2 yr warranty. Tried and true designs. 4. Did I mention it’s…

Pros: This AF drive is quite speedy for a mainstream (BLUE) model. I actually came close to matching my 2TB WD BLACK HDD I use as my primary hard drive. These are the numbers I put up with CrystalDiskMark: Sequential Read : 128.172 MB/s Sequential Write : 119.947 MB/s Random Read 512KB : 41.054 MB/s Random Write 512KB : 48.449 MB/s Random Read 4KB (QD=1) : 0.651 MB/s [ 158.9 IOPS] Random Write 4KB (QD=1) : 0.477 MB/s [ 116.4 IOPS] Random Read 4KB (QD=32) : 2.350 MB/s [ 573.6 IOPS] Random…

Pros: Good $$$/GB ratio. I’ve never had bad luck with Western Digital drives. Lighter weight due to the single platter design. Theoretically a faster drive (7200rpm, SATA 6.0), however… Cons: …it’s noticeably slower than the Black (no kidding) and Green drives that I usually install. I attribute the lag to the single platter. Seek and read times are longer since there’s more ground to cover with only one head scanning one platter as opposed to two heads and two platters. Only makes…

Pros: Works very well. I threw windows 7 on it, an although it had some formatting issues (more in other thoughts). It seems to perform very well. Cons: None, other than my mistakes Overall Review: Windows 7 formatting tool threw this drive for a loop, or probably more likely I did something to give it grief. Had to boot into Linux and reformat it FAT so that windows could recognize and use it. Now it’s up and serving as a second drive in my two drive setup. I’m happy

Pros: reliable,,, haven’t had a single problem. initial read speed is above 130MB/s which is good for a mechanical HDD. Its silent,, no noise. makes virtually no heat at all. 1TB is enough space for the average user. i can install every game i own on it and still have room for all my music Cons: HDD price isn’t back down to where it should be yet. but this isn’t a problem specific to this drive.. this drive is priced really well compared to the other drives available right now. Overall…

Pros: This review is to update a previous review I did on the WD10EZEX 1TB hard drive back on January 19, 2013 as an EggExpert Reviewer. Well this drive barely lasted nine months before failing. I was surfing the web when my PC started reporting write-back errors. I quickly tried to shut it down, but it hung trying to save changes to my two hard drives. I re-powered it and checked the power supply voltages, they were within specs. When I tried to boot my PC it would get as far and the…

Pros: Quiet Cool Cheap Cons: loudest part in my system? Overall Review: I had a few 2-3yr old WD Black 1TB drives that were just too loud and hot for my new build (open side panel & 2′ from the seating position) This new build I’m going Cool and Quite. Well… the old WD Black HDDs I had were literately hot to the touch with the new config basically giving them zero airflow and anytime I accessed the drives they emitted a disturbing grinding noise as the the drive heads would seek out for…
