Care to expand on the reasons against blues?

They fail...alot. Every WD Blue I've deployed has failed. Most of the computers that come in my shop with failed hard drives are WD Blues. The rest of WD's lineup is fine, but the Blues are shit.

Agreed one of the most common failed drives I get into the shop are failed WD Blues or any of the 500GB slim 2.5" drives. Brand doesn't matter on those.

Maybe because the defectives one are all in the USA. :laugh:

I probably see more computers than quite a few people on this forum combined and I don't exactly get brought the working ones. Remember my opinion is based on things that have broken.

They can be just as bad as they are the same drives

Ever heard of the issue where the Greens would turn off like 5 seconds after no load? And it would keep turning off and on hundreds of times a day? I have THAT Green where it would prematurely kill the drives.

iirc @Mussels had a posted a thread a while back addressing that issue

@Nabarun - let us know what you decide on. I have a build in progress atm and am looking at a 500GB WD Blue SSD or NVMe for the OS and WD Black drives for additional storage.

Anyone have any input on 2.5" vs 3.5" WD Black drives? Currently leaning towards the 2.5" versions atm

Nuckles56 · May 24, 2017

@Toothless Yes, I have and I put one of those drives in my father's PC (this was back when I first started building PCs). though it is fortunate that he uses it so rarely these days that the drive will probably last 20 years before it dies

I typically use the HGST 7200RPM drives instead. Larger cache, sata III instead of sata II etc on the 2.5" drives.

Ive never had any experience with Purple Drives so I cant comment on those. WD Blue drivers for the most part are pretty good, I have had alot of good luck with them and use them alot for myself or clients as a cheap drive and ive only had 1 or 2 come back with bad sectors but for the most part there all still running even after 7yrs (including my work PC drive) That been said I only get 1TB Blues or under, I wouldnt trust one of those drives for really important files on anything bigger.

In all honesty id just spend the extra $20 and get a WD Black, better faster drive and you get an extra 3yrs warranty, its worth it in my eyes.

Ive seen more WD Green drives fail then Blues over the yrs, but there pretty much the same drive I guess. I do see alot more laptop drives in Blues die but thats because of poor use of the laptop, throwing it around, hitting it, dropping it etc. Treat them right and they will last along time.

WD is better then Seagate IMHO so whatever you get your going to be ahead.

I have decided to get tha Black 2TB. The seller (employee, actually) is on his way to the shop and he will update me soon about the cancellation of the Blue and availability of the Black.

If you read all the posts above, you"ll see that the Blue you used was different from the ones available now, which are the old Greens. Only the 1TB version seems to be the decent one atm. I have made up my mind about getting the Black one. I agree about WD being better than Seagate. I have always had the Seagate ones and they'd always get dysfunctional after a couple of years.

Yeah, I'm surprised my Green is still going from 2009 as my gaming drive. :roll:

I still use Blue drives brand new even today running my own business I always get new drives. I realise they are different from back then but I still find even todays Blue drives fine, still put them in computers and still haven't had any in recent yrs come back at me. (500GB/1TB/2.5/3.5 mostly).

Black is the one to get and good choice so well done on that

it should serve you well!

Yeah ive had alot more seagates just stop working after a few yrs, sad as I liked the older Seagate drives, but resent yrs they just been terrible.

And how many drives do you see failing in a year, 50? 60? 100?
Sure, from a single point of view it might look like a big number, but WD alone ships around 200 million drives per year, and they, alongside Seagate control 80% of the market, it doesn't take much thinking to tell why they (both WD and Seagate) would pop up dead more than other drives.

The HDD market needs more large-scale, third party reliability testing. Heck, all PC components do!

Exactly. The 2TB+ Blue models are the re-branded 5400rpm Green ones. The 1 TB is available in both 5400 and 7200rpm (probably the old ones).

No the 500 and 1 TB is also a green. All the blues are rebranded from the greens, so they should all be avoided.

Well, like I said, there ARE at least 2 versions of the 1TB drive. Probably the 7200 rpm ones are the left overs from old stock. Any way, my drives have arrived just a few minutes ago

Now, I have been using 7-64 for eternity. "tried" the later ones in vbox a bit but didn't like much. Probably because I'm too much used to 7. Anyway, will think about installing 10 on the ssd and try out DX12 games. That'd be the ONLY reason for me to go 10. But I wanna test the drives first. Here's a mobile pic with flash in my dark cave

Looks nice. If you did get a blue, the one to get is the one ending in EZEX. If it ends in EZRZ, its junk (green). Doubt theres any ezex left as new old stock at this point, but maybe. Its probably all EZRZ.

Anything with a Blue label on it. It used to be anything with a Green label too, but they rebranded the Greens as Blues.

Hardware.fr does a good article about once a year on hardware failure rates based on a large e-tailer's return rates. Unfortunately it only covers returns in the first year of the products life.

The Data Master · May 24, 2017

I've used WD blue, green, purple, black, and label-less (DVR specific before purple came out) and here are my experiences:
No need for black. It is high performance and you will pay extra just to store data. Will help with transfer rates if you are constantly moving data, but won't do much for your wallet if it is just going to be storage.
Green are garbage. Head parking/intellipark not only makes gaming rough, but actually drops my transfers to the low kb/S range. It is just unacceptable.
Blue I have the older ones as many mentioned above so I think that disqualifies me from talking about blue.
Got a purple 2 years ago and use it for media storage. It is a 24/7 drive and has been running with no issues for 2 years. Transfer speeds could be better, but read speeds are enough to stream a video to 2 devices at the same time. I highly recommend purple in this case. 100% health after 2 years according to S.M.A.R.T.
No label are probably what are now purple. They specifically said designed for DVR in the title and description on newegg. I bought them in 2012 and use them in Raid configuration. Of the 6 I own, 4 are in the Raid now and are all operating 100% health according to S.M.A.R.T.

They have one. It's in their Financials 1.38-1.42% is RMA percent to revenue for Seagate and WD. They are actually a standard to beat industry wide.

Spend the extra 20 bucks and get a wd black. Mine from 2012 still runs strong

Ratio of blue WD vs rest of drives in general purpose computers
I have a 2 TB Blue WD for 1 year and more as gaming drive and 0 issues
Generalization is bad

You have experience with 2 drives, I have experience with thousands.

The price of drives is so competitive at this point, I see no point in risking it by buying a WD Blue drive.
