2TB WD Blue Mobile Hard Drive HDD - 5400 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 128 MB Cache, 2.5" - WD20SPZX

HDDs in 2025!? Heck yeah! While not particularly as fast as modern SSDs in random access, the performance is still great for old SATA interface. In linux I disable my swap, but Windows just doesn't work without some swap file, and I'm not going to swap to my main SSD. Thankfully my laptop can boot from mSATA and still has a 2.5" low profile SATA drive slot, where this WD 2T neatly fits. 2T of storage is greatly appreciated in a portable to store all my files on the go where there's no cheap internet access, while also great to direct swap, all logs, and other write-intensive files to the HDD to keep writes low for my old boot SSD. I'm really thankful that WD still keeps making HDDs for these kinds of uses.

I got this for my Eufy home base 3 security system and it was really easy to install and offers a ton of storage space. I don't have to worry about going through and regularly deleting stored videos with this amount of storage. its also a pretty affordable option. haven't had any issues with it a year later

So far, working perfectly in my eufy security cameras. Be aware, the mounting screws are not included.

Was simple plug and play

I used this to replace a toshi hybrid 500g drive. It cloned to perfection and I rebooted. The reboot on a win10 lp took about 20 min. I had done this procedure before and it took less time before. After quite a while the hdd light stopped flashing nad I decided to check the drive with win 10 tools. Scandisk found errors so I let it go through the correction phase and after many hours it ended and rebooted to the normal desktop. I checked and win reported no more drive errors. I checked it against another drive and performance numbers were ok. My 4 star rating comes from the win10 bootup time. It is horrendous. 15 min is too long to wait for the hdd light to finally clear on my laptop. BUT after tlight clears it is the most silent hard drive I have ever had. No accesses for hours of web surfing. Truly a twilight zone conundrum. I give the 4 stars because of the slow boot but once it finishes this drive is a freak of silence and performance.

Great product works as described in ad and easy to use. Well built design and good quality and easy to install. The price was a good value and fast shipped.

I bought this for my Eufy Homebase 3. It works great so far. Here are some things to keep in mind. The hard drive comes with multiple partitions. As a result, the Eufy app wasn't able to format the hard drive properly. I had to connect the hard drive to my PC and format it with the Disk Management tool (Win+X > Disk Management). Delete each volume until the entire hard drive shows as Unallocated. Create a new simple volume (NTFS). Allow it to be assigned a drive letter. I named the drive "Eufy". I then installed it in the Homebase (be sure to unplug it first) and then used the app to format it. It wasn't successful on the first try but it worked on the second try.

The Western Digital 2TB WD Blue Mobile Hard Drive (WD20SPZX) is a solid choice for anyone looking to upgrade their laptop or external storage. With a 5400 RPM speed, it offers decent performance for everyday tasks like file storage, media playback, and document management. The 128 MB cache helps to speed up data access, and the SATA 6 Gb/s interface ensures smooth data transfer rates. While it's not the fastest drive out there, it strikes a good balance between capacity and price. At 2.5 inches, it's compact and perfect for thinner laptops. Overall, it's a reliable option if you're after extra storage without breaking the bank.
