Western Digital Caviar Blue (WD10EZEX), a Good Alternative

First Lines About Western Digital Caviar Blue (WD10EZEX)

The range of Caviar Blue hard drives 3.5 "is distinguished mainly by the fact that it represents the mid-point of balance between performance and cost for desktop environments and small servers adjusted cost.

It is the series that complements the Caviar Green (disks lower consumption and low noise) and Black Caviar (units maximum performance for demanding environments). The result is a unit that is within the media virtually everything as far as technical features are concerned: 7.200 rpm and 16 MB cache. Yes, with respect to their ability have analyzed the range-topping 750 GB model.
This unit has surprised us by reading their rates lower than those of other 3.5 "drives, and also for its high rates of writing. Access times have not been too bad. It is therefore a good solution for midrange systems and servers cost adjusted where the data write is constant.

Thumbs up

> Good rates of writing that has produced it an ideal choice for file servers low cost
Perfect for those who still can not afford a SSD hard drive. Rapid for OS and storage. Would return to buy
1TB 7200 rpm and SATA3, good value, really can not ask for more, it works great, and the perfect media packaging, bubble bag and carton, hitting is impossible to reach the disk unless play football with it.

Thumbs down

> The feature is lower than those of other units
> However, they are more than reasonable by any standards need
Packaging is adequate with air bubbles. No screws or brings brings cable that you have to know. Currently installing W7 disk partitioning and have not encountered any problems. Not loud or overall vibration, it is quick to use that I give (downloads, gaming and sound editing mainly). My objections come from have had a WD Caviar Blue 500 GB which began to fail, what a coincidence, six months after losing the warranty. I hope this will last a little longer, as we will see.
